Across subcultures and geographies, young fans have found each other and formed community online, learning from one another along the way. From these and other in-depth case studies of online affinity networks, Affinity Online considers how young people have found new opportunities for expanded learning in the digital age. These cases reveal the shared characteristics and unique cultures and practices of different online affinity networks, and how they support “connected learning”—learning that brings together youth interests, social activity, and accomplishment in civic, academic, and career relevant arenas. Although involvement in online communities is an established fixture of growing up in the networked age, participation in these spaces show how young people are actively taking up new media for their own engaged learning and social development.While providing a wealth of positive examples for how the online world provides new opportunities for learning, the book also examines the ways in which these communities still reproduce inequalities based on gender, race, and socioeconomic status. The book concludes with a set of concrete suggestions for how the positive learning opportunities offered by online communities could be made available to more young people, at school and at home. Affinity Online explores how online practices and networks bridge the divide between in-school and out-of-school learning, finding that online affinity networks are creating new spaces of opportunity for realizing the ideals of connected learning.YouthSocial networksfast(OCoLC)fst01183540Online social networksfast(OCoLC)fst01741311Internet in educationfast(OCoLC)fst00977246EducationEffect of technological innovations onfast(OCoLC)fst00902618Internet in educationCase studiesEducationEffect of technological innovations onCase studiesYouthSocial networksCase studiesOnline social networksCase studiesCase studies.YouthSocial networks.Online social networks.Internet in education.EducationEffect of technological innovations on.Internet in educationEducationEffect of technological innovations onYouthSocial networksOnline social networks302.30285Itō Mizuko928219Martin Crystleauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autPfister Rachel Codyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSalen Katieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWortman Amandaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996582067403316Affinity Online2968451UNISA
