diary posted in reverse chronological order ...online diaries could be
constructed previously in Web 1.0, based on laborious editing and republishing of
Web pages, but specialized software popularized in 1999 made the process
remarkably simple...later free versions of
blogging software accelerated the growth of weblogs. By early 2006, approximately
39% of teenage and adult Internet users in the United States were reading blogs
(Lenhart & Fox, 2006)." source: ]]> 2018-11-19 01:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lcl294/ul89ke342unr/wish/305742761 Modern Ways to Repurpose Content lcl294 https://padlet.com/lcl294/ul89ke342unr/wish/305743174 click the photo to view in full source: https://getcodeless.com/repurpose-blog/]]> 2018-11-19 01:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lcl294/ul89ke342unr/wish/305743174 Participatory Cultures Defined lcl294 https://padlet.com/lcl294/ul89ke342unr/wish/305743474 "...more than one-half of all teens have created media
content, and roughly one-third of teens who use the Internet
have shared content they produced...these teens
are actively involved in what we are calling participatory cultures.
A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to
artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for
creating and sharing creations, and some type of informal mentorship
whereby experienced participants pass along knowledge
to novices. In a participatory culture, members also believe their
contributions matter and feel some degree of social connection
with one another (at the least, members care about others’
opinions of what they have created)." source: ]]> 2018-11-19 01:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lcl294/ul89ke342unr/wish/305743474 Lots of Content + Participatory Culture = Creating a Digital Community lcl294 https://padlet.com/lcl294/ul89ke342unr/wish/305747017 "Implicit in electronic

How do we repurpose content in a meaningful way?


Although there is an overwhelming amount of content out there, there are also so many ways to collaborate with others to repurpose content. If we keep our audience and our platform in mind, we can actively repurpose content in a way that respects our readers time and provides value for them.

Additionally, if we participate in digital communities, we should be prepared to accept the multilevel nature of digital spaces and the creative process that goes into it.
