PARTICIPATORY CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY

INTEGRATION IN THE LITERATURE CLASS

Mariana Ferrarelli August 2016 – Permanent Professional Develoment Programme

Being Digital

“I recently visited the headquarters of one of America's top five integrated circuit manufacturers. I was asked to

sign in and, in the process, was asked whether I had a laptop computer with me. Of course I did. The

receptionist asked for the model and serial number and for its value.

- "Roughly, between one and two million dollars," I said. - "Oh, that cannot be, sir," she replied.

- "What do you mean?” - “Let me see it." I showed her my old PowerBook and

she estimated its value at $2,000. She wrote down that amount and I was allowed to enter the premises. The

point is that while the atoms were not worth that much, the bits were almost priceless.”

(Negroponte; 1995)

Participatory Culture

Participatory Culture in the classroom is NOT about using social networks.

It is about finding ways in which students can take an ACTIVE ROLE in the creative and decision-making process.

Particpatory Culture is about…

“members who believe that their contributions matter, and members who feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least, they care what other people think about what they have created).Not every member must contribute, but all must believe they are free to contribute and that what they contribute will be appropriately valued.”

(Jenkins, 2009)

Interaction: technologies

Participation: communities

Participation vs. Interaction

Share vs. Manage your own privacy and the privacy of others.

Technique vs. Social Practice

Media systems consist of communication technologies and the social, cultural, legal, political, and economic institutions, practices, and protocols that shape and surround them.

(Jenkins, 2009)
