kenjeffery's review against another edition

A well written and concise look at the landscape facing the new, connected learners. It's a culture shift, one that is difficult to reconcile with the previous "study and regurgitate" educational philosophies. Participatory learning is broken down into its requisite pieces, and suggestions are made as to how to implement them in the learning arena.

Like a lot of academic publications, this felt like 2-3 20 page articles stretched out into a 100 page book, but that's fine, this was good. I worry about how quickly it will become outdated given how many specific sites are mentioned and how it lacks anything on crowdfunding. However, I think it does what it does very well, and was pleasant (and very quick) to read. Especially glad that the literature review/nods were very focused, relevant, and concise.

A bit dated, but still provides a useful framework for concepts that still need to be considered in the classroom and out of it. Some of the activities suggested to help young people learn the skills necessary for being successful in participatory culture would still be useful today; others could easily be reworked.
