Teaching young people how to use digital media to convey their public voices could connect youthful interest indenitiy exploration and social interaction with direct experiences of civic engagement. Learning to use blogs(“web logs,” web pages that are regularly updated with links and opinions), wikis (web pages that non-programmar can edit easily), podcasts (digital radio productions distributed through the Internet), and digital video as media of self-expression, with an emphasis on “pubic voice” should be considered a pillar-not just a component-of twenty-first-century civic curriculum. Participating media are a popular among high school and college students. Introducting the use of these media in the content of the public shere is an appropriate intervention for educators because the rhetoric of democratic participating is not neccessarily learnable by self-guided point-and-click experimention. The participating characteristics of online digital media are describe, example briefly cited, the connection between individual expression and puble opinion discussed, and specific exercises for developing a public voice through blogs, wikis, and podcasts are suggested.
