WHAT SKILLS DO KIDS NEED IN ORDER TO BE FULL PARTICIPANTS

Emerging Skills:

Play -- a process of exploration and experimentation.

Performance-- trying on and playing different identities.

Navigation -- the ability to move across the media landscape in a
purposeful manner, choosing the media that best serves a specific purpose
or need, or which might best provide the
information needed to serve a particular task.

Resourcefulness -- the ability to identify and capitalize on existing
resources.

Networking -- the ability to identify a community of others who share
common goals and interests.

Negotiation -- the ability to communicate across differences as you move
through a multicultural and global media landscape.

Synthesis -- pulling together information from multiple sources,
evaluating its reliability and use value, constructing a new picture of
the world.

Sampling -- mastering and transforming existing media content for the
purposes of self and collective expression.

Collaboration -- sharing information, pooling knowledge, comparing notes,
evaluating evidence, and solving large scale problem.

Teamwork -- the ability to identify specific functions for each member of
the team based on their expertise and then to interact with the team
members in an appropriate fashion.

Judgment -- the ability to make aesthetic and ethical evaluations of media
practices and to reflect on your own choices and their consequences.

Discernment -- the ability to assess the accuracy and appropriateness of
available information.

These skills each lie at the intersection between the self and others.
These are cultural skills and not individual skills. The goal is
communication and participation, not simply
self-expression, and that requires an understanding of the impact of one's
ideas on others. Any ethical framework we develop should emerge from this
understanding that media may have
been personalized in the early 1990s but it is now collaborative and
communal in an era of networked and mobile communications technologies.
