Teemu Arina :: Blog :: Participatory media as part of digital literacy

Howard Rheingold has created a wiki for Participatory Media Literacy.


Teaching young people how to use digital media to convey their public voices could link youthful interest in identity exploration and social interaction with direct experiences of civic engagement. Learning to use blogs, wikis, podcasts, and digital video as media of self-expression, with an emphasis on “public voice,” should be considered a pillar - not just a component—of 21st century civic curriculum.


I agree. A wiki for coming up with ideas on what such a curriculum could include is a welcome. Some content that doesn’t fit the wiki format could perhaps be entered into LeMill.

Keywords: technology
