16. Youth engage with others to work out boundaries, to understand norms. This is how they learn power and authority, how they learn the networked architecture of everyday life. 16 Source: danahboyd Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/PennState2009.html

17. Educators have a critical role when it comes to helping youth navigate social media. You can help them understand how to make sense of what they're seeing. Youth need to know more than just how to use the tools - they need to understand the structures around them. 17 Source: danahboyd Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/PennState2009.html

19. We start by opening up a dialogue. We start talking to youth about what they are doing and why they are doing it. We ask them to teach us about the technology while we guide them with the knowledge that we have through experience. 19 Source: danahboyd Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/PennState2009.html
