This document discusses tools for participatory learning and student content creation using a networked learning model called the Media 21 Project. It summarizes the implementation of the project in two literature classes over 9-12 weeks. Students used tools like wikis, blogs, Google Docs, Diigo and NoodleTools for collaborative research on issues in Africa. Observations noted student engagement but also challenges with time management and disrupting traditional learning culture. The document advocates for embracing the "messiness" of learning and exploring transliteracy.
