Workshop+5

**Workshop Five: Network Thinking, Boundary Objects & Collective Intelligence**
toc

Workshop Overview
The question at the centre of this workshop is: In what way does networked thinking, tied into a creative process, nurture a more complex and richer outcome for youth media producers and youth mentors? Broadly, we suggest that network thinking involves two elements: first, it invites one to think of video making or web design, etc. in terms of the alliances and translations across boundaries that such work can create. Second, it invites one to imagine how online networked information can be brought together easily to make media production richer and more exciting for youth producers. Besides working through how youth-made media operates as a boundary object, participants in this workshop will also leave with a set of resources detailing how to use network thinking as part of producing new media.

The final PowerPoint of this presentation is available online.
