Study about podcasting and learning. Not really relevant for us but a little bit interesting:

[|Here's] Jenkins' White Paper in PDF. I liked this quote from the intro on Participatory Cultures: "Not every member must contribute, but all must believe they are free to contribute when ready and that what they contribute will be appropriately valued.  In such a world, many will only dabble, some will dig deeper,  and still others will master the skills that are most valued within  the community.The community itself, however, provides strong  incentives for creative expression and active participation.  Historically, we have valued creative writing or art classes  because they help to identify and train future writers and artists, but also because the creative  process is valuable on its own; every child deserves the chance to express him- or herself  through words, sounds, and images, even if most will never write, perform, or draw professionally.  Having these experiences, we believe, changes the way youth think about themselves and alters the way they look at work created by others." pg. 7

Ok, Check this out: I just wrote last night about how nobody talks about how you can't manufacture a participatory culture. BUT, it turns out Jenkins and the Project New Media Literacies people just worked on this last year. They adapted the participatory culture stuff into PLAY for teachers.Five characteristics of participatory learning.

And, I really need to read this. This is going to be the last thing I read and then I'm going to write. I promise.

I'm really excited about that article for my own teaching this year, too. Here's one more link: the[| 6 Ps of Play]. This is probably not for our paper, but I wanted to remember it. How did Henry Jenkins get to be so awesome?
