The document discusses participatory culture and new media literacies. It defines participatory culture as having low barriers to participation, valuing contributions, and feeling social connection. New media literacies involve skills like collaboration, networking, and collective intelligence. The document explores forms of participatory culture like affiliations, creative expressions, collaborative problem solving, and circulations. It provides examples of online activities and resources that teachers could use to design instruction incorporating new literacies and participatory culture.
Learning through Affinity Spaces: Exploring the role of media education in the 24/7 digital era
This slide was designed to be viewed alongside live presenters discussing the role of 'Media Education', which was conducted in a closed session on 2 December. We focused on the problems with relying on the utopian idea of learning through 'affinity spaces' (a concept outlined by James P. Gee) for future education, and our expectations for its development.

Start an information riot! Student led collaborative knowledge construction i...Peter Bryant
The response of higher education programmes to the transformative and creative spaces promulgated by web 2.0 and social media has been both inconsistent and intermittent, ignoring and embracing the potential for collaboration, knowledge construction and bricolage (Franklin & Harmelen 2007; Grosseck 2009). Outside the constraints of a Virtual Learning Environment and the University firewall, web 2.0 can support a deconstruction of the role of the teacher, a significant re-evaluation of the way knowledge is constructed and shared and a dramatic re-thinking of the inter-connections between learners, the crowd and their wider, separate networks in which learning can also occur (Downes 2009; O'Reilly 2003; Siemens 2005).
This case study will look at the use web 2.0 and social media in the design and delivery of the BA Professional Practice programme at Middlesex University. The programme utilised a set of enhanced literacies centred on a do-it-yourself inquiry philosophy, the application, sharing and reflection upon social experiences and the construction of professional identity, ‘for’ the practice of work, ‘at’ the practice of work and ‘through’ the practice of work (Garnett & Workman 2009; Hanley 2011; Kamenetz 2010).

Journalism & the New Media Literacies 101608Erin Reilly
Journalism is in a paradigm shift. More than any generation to come before them, today’s young people are participating in the creation and sharing of culture with the immediacy and connectedness that a digitally networked world provides. In many cases, these young adults are actively involved in what we are calling participatory cultures; a participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to one of community involvement.

Shall We Play? is written by Erin Reilly, Henry Jenkins, Laurel Felt and Vanessa Vartabedian. It represents a revisiting of Henry Jenkins' original MacArthur white paper, Confronting the Challenges of a Participatory Culture, and lays out what we see as core principles for participatory learning. It includes some core reflections on what has happened in the Digital Media and Learning movement over the past six years as we have sought to bring a more participatory spirit to those institutions and practices that most directly touch young people’s lives.
Networked learning: experience the educational power of the network and the participatory culture of the web Presented at the Asia Society Ning.com is a free web-based platform that allows users to create their own social networking sites with many of the same features available on Facebook or MySpace. (The word “ning” means “peace” in Chinese.) Sites created with Ning allow virtual communities to form around common interests and around the world. Come explore how participating on a Ning—and even creating your own—enables students and teachers alike to engage in networked learning.

Presentation by Jennifer D. Klein at GlobalEdCon2011. Explores some of the best ideas out there about why and how to globalize the curriculum, looking at a variety of excellent examples of global projects across the K-12 curriculum.
This presentation gives a small taste of the material offered by Jennifer through her TIGed Professional Development e-Courses, as well as through live in-service presentations and teacher coaching in schools.
A short presentation on the importance of considering multiliteracies in education and what it may look like (and what it isn't!). Although the idea of "21st century literacies" may seem redundant, the term helps to differentiate between traditional views of literacy and the literacy of today and the future.
This presentation accompanies a workshop on incorporating wikis into classroom settings and professional learning communities. For more information, visit http://jdorman.wikispaces.com/+Wikis.
Comparative Literature in the Age of Digital Humanities _ On Possible Future ...Hina Parmar
1.The changes brought about by new communication technologies are as profound and sweeping as the invention of print and the discovery of the New World. We are in a major transitional moment in history.
2. These technologies have both liberatory potential through democratizing information, but also a dangerous capacity for control and violence. There is an inescapable dialectical tension.
3. Humanists must involve themselves in debates about digital culture and technology to ensure corporate interests do not dominate these spaces and our cultural legacy.
4. We need new critical methods and conceptual understandings to grapple with digital texts and culture, which transform assumptions about mediation, authorship, discourse, etc.
5. The article puts forth comparative media studies, data studies, and authorship/platform studies as three avenues for a future comparative literature adapted to the digital age.
6. Models like Wikipedia illustrate the power of open, collaborative knowledge production. Institutions like universities need to think about how to integrate these models into learning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
