1. What is convergence culture?
Convergence culture is the mixing of old and new media to form a better media for today.
2. What are the implications of convergence culture for education?
It allows teachers to use the new technology in their classrooms to improve their lesson
plans through blogging, teacher tube, and power points. It also teaches the students how to
use the technology so they can do it at home. This may be the only time that students get to
use computers.
3. How are schools limiting kids' access to digital tools? Do you agree? Why or why not?
The schools are limiting kids' access by limiting them only to educational sites and blocking
out social networking. I agree with these policies because they protect our children from
getting on bad sites and getting bad information. I still think that educators have a responsi-
bility to teach their students about the dangers of the digital tools.

What if students don't have access to computers or the Internet at home. Will they be disadvantaged if they don't get an opportunity to use the tools of participatory culture?
