“[W]e are living in the middle of a remarkable increase in our ability to share, to cooperate with one another, and to take collective action, all outside the framework of traditional institutions and organizations.”

-- Clay Shirky

Teachers ’ Strategy Guide:Reading in a Participatory Culture

How can we support the practices of innovative teachers?

How can schools keep pace with the social revolution?

•Relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement

•Strong support for creating and sharing one's creations (mutual support systems foster a culture of collaboration)

•Mentorships, both formal and informal

•Members believe that their contributions matter

•Members feel social connection with one another

Characteristics of Participatory Culture

“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.”

Hypotheses

• building a community of readers in the ELA classroom

• supporting a culture of increased generativity ("reading with mouse in hand")

• Fostering productive discourse through participatory assessment

• preparing learners to transform a domain

• breaking down the "expert paradigm" (teaching toward distributed expertise)

Design Principles

how do we build a community of readers?

what is reading in a participatory culture?

new media affords new practices

literacy practices get re-mediated by new

media

“we still have a CBS, an NBC, and a New York Times; but we are not the same nation that had those things before.” --George W.S. Trow

We need strategies for breaking down the “expert

paradigm”

the nature of expertise has

changed

we need to prepare learners to transform a

domainconservative content,

Question: What does it mean to be “literate” in a participatory culture?

go to this: 21st Century Assessment Session: 11:30-12:30

Key questions:What are the ethical and practical challenges of

introducing participatory culture into the classroom?What happens when student expertise becomes a

legitimate source of authority in the classroom?What happens when learning is conceived of as a process

not of socialization but of transformation?How can we prepare learners for the responsibilities of

being producers of culture?What sorts of assessment practices can lead to a learning

community that rewards sharing and community engagement?

Today’s TSG Workshops

•What were your expectations for using the Teachers’ Strategy Guide?

•Given the specifics of your classroom, how did you implement the guide? (technology, time, cosmetology, etc.) How did you make this all work?

•Now that you’ve been through this, do you have suggestions for changes to the guide, ideas for improvement, thoughts about using the guide to teach other books or alternative activity suggestions?

•What refinements would you suggest or are there big things we haven’t discussed?
