Participatory Culture

I have just watched this great clip.

It is a Henry Jenkins TED lecture on Participatory Culture.
He speaks about how much power our young students have a their finger tips and how this comes with great responsibility. It has made me think how students participate - we need to mobilise active engagement with the greater developing world. I ask myself, do these students connect to the world and what is going on in it. "MOBILISED CITIZENSHIP MOBILISES CAUSES - MOBILISED CITIZENSHIP NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT INTO OUR CLASSROOMS!
