Networked publics are publics that are restructured by networked technologies. As such, they are simultaneously (1) the space constructed through networked technologies and (2) the imagined collective that emerges as a result of the intersection of people, technology, and practice. Networked publics serve many of the same functions as other types of publics – they allow people to gather for social, cultural, and civic purposes and they help people connect with a world beyond their close friends and family. While networked publics share much in common with other types of publics, the ways in which technology structures them introduces distinct affordances that shape how people engage with these environments. The properties of bits – as distinct from atoms – introduce new possibilities for interaction. As a result, new dynamics emerge that shape participation.
Later in the same article, boyd describes the affordances of digital discourse. Is this what is happening in our video-conferenced classrooms? We have the tools, experience, and commitment to build more powerful environments for learning on Youth Voices and NowComment:
The content of networked publics is made out of bits. Both self-expressions and interactions between people produce bit-based content in networked publics. Because of properties of bits, bits are easier to store, distribute, and search than atoms. Four affordances that emerge out of the properties of bits play a significant role in configuring networked publics:
• Persistence: online expressions are automatically recorded and archived.
• Replicability: content made out of bits can be duplicated.
• Scalability: the potential visibility of content in networked publics is great.
• Searchability: content in networked publics can be accessed through search.

It's amazing to see the different pieces of work happening in our network. We will share what our students are doing and what we are beginning to imagine they can do together on Youth Voices and NowComment.
