7. Participatory Culture
I was having dinner with a group of friends
about a month ago, and one of them was
talking about sitting with his four-year-old
daughter watching a DVD. And in the middle
of the movie, apropos nothing, she jumps up
off the couch and runs around behind the
screen. That seems like a cute moment.
Maybe she’s going back there to see if Dora
is really back there or whatever. But that
wasn’t what she was doing. She started
rooting around in the cables. And her dad
said, “What you doing?” And she stuck her
head out from behind the screen and
said, “Looking for four-year-olds
Here’s something the mouse.” know: A screen that ships without a
mouse ships broken. Here’s something four-year-olds know: Media that’s
targeted at you but doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for

Then look at how we implemented it and some results-
Cultural drivers that come into play..world our kids live in impacts the way they interact and the skills they need and we have to respond to those drivers – choice to fight them or leverage them- need to understand them to do either and many of us don’t

Walk then run – start with some simple things- even traditional uses that use tech and take it one step at a time… always someone to help..

When you have it right.. Tech is like oxygen.. It isn’t the driver, not because of tech but because the possibilities it affords us far surpasses a learning environment that doesn’t include it..
