1. What is convergence culture?

Convergence culture is mixing the old with the new media it is big mixture of professional and amatuer mass media

2. What are the implications of convergence culture for education?

Convergent culture could be good or bad when dealing with education there is so much information out there that in a school setting is inapproiate. The effects are a smarter youth and sometimes a mislead youth.
3.How are schools limiting kids' access to digital tools? Do you agree with these policies? Why or Why not?

I think kid should be limited to acceess digital tool through parental controls, web site block or anything else. While social media isn't all wrong there are several instances where it has been the cause of bullying. I believe that in this age most kids spend to much time in front of computer screens and tvs and should be up playing escpecially at the elementary level.

  1. You make good points! I think kids should spend more time playing in the natural world too! That's why I think it is really important kids spend time using computers in school and learn how to use them appropriately, ethically, and productively from their teachers.
