Participatory Culture..

A particiatory culture is also one in which memebers believe their contributions matter, and feel some degree of social connection with one another (at least they care what other people think about what they have created)

It is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civil engagement.
New media technology is changing the way we connect to share knowledge and creativity.



Key for revision:

Affiliations - memberships, formal and informale, in online communications centred around various forms of media such as Facebook, message bords, metagaming, game clans, Myspace etc.

Expressions - Producing new creative froms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan video making, fan fiction, writingm zines, mash-ups

Collaborative Problem-Solving
- Working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (such as through Wikipedia and alternative reality gaming

Circulations - Shaping the flow of media (such as Twitter, podcasting, blogging)


Laptops have digital editing software as standard. This has unleashed creativity
Broadband has allowed people to share their creativity
