They do so through joint efforts in a range of educational settings and media environments, including high school classrooms, youth media organizations, and social media sites. Korina M. Jocson draws on various theories to show how educators can harness the power of youth media to provide new opportunities for meaningful learning and “do-it-together production.” Describing the impact that youth media can have on the broader culture, Jocson demonstrates how it supports expansive literacy practices and promotes civic engagement, particularly among historically marginalized youth.

The discussion arched by a metaphor of ripples and breaks suggests the value of seeing dynamic forms of mobility and learning ecologies within classrooms and other educational settings.

In this column, we take up concerns in participatory cultures to revisit a longstanding issue pertaining to language. Evident in the literature on digital literacies is an implicit treatment of language, particularly around whose languages are included. In our respective research, we are challenged by questions that seek to identify literacies and languages as repertoires of practice in youth's lives. We want to know, if youth are communicating and engaging each other across media platforms, what languages or linguistic forms are leveraged in their lives? In what ways are youth supported socially and educationally? We come together here to make language more explicit in the conversation.
