  • While not all youth will recognize copyright as an ethical issue in the digital media
  • One example of a lively discussion along these lines was the thread about  whether it was appropriate for youths to post a video on YouTube of their  teacher losing his temper. Opinion was divided. Reading the debate about whether  kids should be allowed to publicize classroom violations in this way was a great  reminder of the institutional conditions that young people find themselves in,  and the unique perspective on power and authority that it gives them. It was  also an excellent reminder about the diversity of perspectives and situations  that young people speak from.

  • The participants demonstrated how youth can critically engage one another in sophisticated debates about complex issues such as privacy, credibility, ownership, and even the larger meaning of their participation in online dialogues.
