connected learning

danah boyd
young people make videos hoping it will make it better for them in the community.. so video became a part of a movement, but they themselves were not a part of it.. they were back in home communities
importance of networks.. when people can tap into networks
requires talking to strangers
how to build meaningful sustained networks

so much becomes numeracy - rather than about people

in order to empower youth, need to make sure that they are
1) safe - connected to people
2) have skills

when is participation not really a first step
