Teens are not connecting in
the ways we fear. But, we need
to pay attention to:
â˘Properties: persistence,
replicability, searchability,
scalability, (de)locatability.
â˘Dynamics: invisible
audiences, collapsed contexts,
blurring of public & private @zephoria
spaces

⢠Inspired by McLuhanâs
âWe shape our tools and
thereafter our tools shape
us.â
⢠Youtube & other social

communitiesâ.

personal investment in

ourselves
80. final thoughts
*this* is not going away
social media provides
engagement/motivation

learning communities
geographies become nearly irrelevant
in a open, connected reality.
