"The New Media Literacies constitute the core cultural competencies and social skills that young people need in our new media landscape. We call them “literacies,” but they change the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to one of community involvement. They build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom. If these New Media Literacies are learned – and they can be learned without computers in the classroom – they can form the building blocks for students’ participation in new media."

Maintenant, c'est l'apprentissage de nouveaux modes de participation, qui exigent en réalité un engagement plus profond, qui est appelé par les nouveaux médias. Être alphabète de la culture numérique suppose que l'on apprenne à être unE lettréE de l'implication dans le débat public.
À bon entendeurE, salut !

This gives an overview of what Participatory Culture is about and how people learn in such an environment.
