I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Jenkins at Kennesaw State University. He's a very articulate and knowledgeable man, and a pleasure to be around.
As a young person in these types of communities (I'm 16), I find this quite interesting. I knew much of this was happening, but I never realized the full scale of things. Also, my school has started to use social media lately. We have twitter pages, facebook groups, etc. I agree that these are important, but I believe it should be restricted to jr. high+. My sibling is only 9 and has been forced into an email and likely will be forced into other things this coming year. My mom thinks her too young, but we can't control it, because it's for school. The internet is a great tool, but it is one that is so free that it can expose children to some bad things, and we need to be aware of this.
Indeed. There is always a risk and no one should ever be forced into doing something they do not want to do. Our education system as a whole needs to be overhauled. We should all be in control of our own learning. Force-feeding preconstructed (and often out-dated) concepts about what someone else thinks we should be learning and exactly how we should be learning it, doesn't work. That has never worked and nothing should just be accepted as it is as "that is just the way it is", especially if it involves safety. Forcing a 9-year old to use email or anything of the sort is nothing short of irresponsible and dangerous and should not be tolerated. That school especially needs to reevaluate its priorities.
I am currently writing a paper about Henry Jenkin's Covergence Culture and before we got the assignment to write this paper, our teacher had us create our own wiki (you can make your own wiki online, google it if you're interested). We were then asked to contribute on a daily base to this wiki with content relevant to Jenkin's book. We learned from each other, discussed with each other and were able to write great papers.
I feel the reason the schools and public places have blocked social sites like youtube and facebook is because they might pose as distractions. i get very distracted when i am on the web as i am on twitter while this video is playing. its good to embrace these sites because of connections and sources, but we need to have a line or personal self control of when and when not to use these sites.
But what we actually get by social involvement in virtual world? Because it is the exact problem why we look as not interested in real life for real issues. We fight pashionately in virtual life, right? Many points Jenkins gave, very good direction.. :)
O que seria da internet se a gente de fato trouxesse as redes sociais para as salas de aula no passado... Uma pena que só deixamos acontecer e hoje é o fantástico mundo dos terraplanistas, negacionistas, extremistas e aproveitadores da boa fé dos mais ingênuos.
We should never bring political activism into the classroom. Just let children be children for crying out loud. His last statement of “shouldn’t this be brought into classrooms(?)” is a giveaway. The ability to control and coerce the minds of our future leaders by using identity politics in the classrooms of young children who are malleable and vulnerable to suggestion and propaganda is not only reckless, but terribly irresponsible. Adults who abuse children in this way are sick and should be charged with criminal offenses.

Awesome. What major are you taking?
Wait a minute....your comment is from 2 years ago. I should have asked what major did you take :-)
oh my god... same... though you're already done and I'm just starting. I hope you were satisfied with the result :)
I also would love to read that too

Thank you TED for making Jenkins' work accessible. I'm using this in my college classes to talk about the ideas, form and content. Fabulous!
My mans laughed when Henery was dead serious about world of warcraft lmao
awkward for the guy who laughed a little to early, before henry could finish his sentence hahaha
... and Jenkins makes a valid point to cut him off! Love it!!
My thoughts exactly!

It's cool that he name-dropped the HP alliance since I heard about Henry Jenkins through the HP alliance
thank you very much
Henry Jenkins shall now be called Grandpa Fandom, Protector of Gen Z

That laughing guy is a terrible person.
Zuko was played by an American-Indian actor. Not white
filipino-american but semantics
Very nice.
The downvotes were for the laughing guy
