NowParticipatory culture is
grounded in low barriers to artistic expression and
allows students to be creators of content as well as
pass on their experiences and knowledge to others. The
Barrow Media Center is a site of participatory culture
through elements such as student book budgets,
collaborative projects that culminate in student product
creation, opportunities for students to showcase their
creations to others in a variety of ways, and students
taking leadership in teaching one another how to use
technology to create. This year, developing the
participatory culture of the library is a specific goal
that has been made public to all students, teachers, and
families in the school and all members of the library
have been invited to find their place in the library and
make things happen. This webinar will explore
participatory culture and how the library can be a space
of participation.
