Hi, this is a writing response of about 3 paragraphs. Prompt and overview:Wikipedia and other wikis are sustained by the collaborative contributions of many individuals. This week, we will take a slightly different look at how interacting in online networks and spaces can also support different forms of learning and culture. Much of the work in this area has been primarily focused on youth use of social media; however, as we saw during our exploration of wiki case studies, participatory culture also extends to adults of different ages and with different foci.Our main focus this week is to identify how youth engage in participatory culture; we will experience participatory culture by working with Scratch.
