Public Sticky notes
Youth respect one another’s authority online, and they are often more motivated to learn from peers than from adults

Erecting barriers to participation deprives teens of access to these forms of learning
Highlighted by bharper
They are more motivated to learn from their peers because they can connect around their shared passions
Highlighted by bharper
They are self-directed because they can be. They can get what they need when they need it.
