Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors
This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutionsboth public and domesticof everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that renders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technology as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focusing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media.
Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publications include The Internet Playground: Children's Access, Entertainment, and Mis-Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.
Mimi Ito is Professor in Residence and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Chair in Digital Media and Learning, Department of Anthropology and Department of Informatics, University of California, Irvine, and Research Director of the Digital Media and Learning Hub, University of California Humanities Research Institute. She has published widely on new media and youth and led a recently completed three-year project, Kids' Informal Learning with Digital Media, an ethnographic study of digital youth funded by the MacArthur Foundation.

This book would not have been possible without the vision, passion, and commitment of the principal, teachers, staff, and parents at the high school where this research took place. These inspiring educators and cultural workers are harbingers of the change we need. I also thank their students, whose energy and activities were central to this work. I additionally thank the participants at the University of California, Berkeley, scholar-activists who contributed important perspectives and skills to the TEACH Project: Rick Ayers, Kelly Buchanan, Victor Diaz, Heidi Ku'ulei Hata, Lanette Jimerson, Alexis Martin, Jose Gutierrez, Sonia Martin Poole, Gerald Reyes, Allison Scott, Hillary Scott, Pierre Tchetgen, Sneha Veeragoudar Harrell, and Dawn W. Ferreira. I thank Mersia Gabri El, Casey Hunt, Cherise Martinez-McBride, Roger Smith, Aaron Ward, Joy Lee, Eda Levenson, and Erin Murphy-Graham for their important contributions, as well as Ayesha Walker, Lissa Soep, and Jacinda Abcarian of Youth Radio. Sharon Merritt, Maryanne Berry, and Grace Kim thanks for our explorations in Second Life. I thank Yvette Jackson, Eric Cooper, LaVerne Flowers, and the other members of the National Urban Alliance who influenced my thinking on working with educators. Also, I thank Mimi Ito, Barrie Thorne, Michael Carter, and the other participants of the Digital Youth Project who provided intellectual community and critical resources for this work. I especially thank members of my family for so much goodness: Kobie Mahiri; Jelani, Nina, and Helio Mahiri; Ayana and Nia Crawford; and Ajamu, Ahlia, and Soleil Kitwana. A special thanks to Miyako Tsujimotofor everything. Finally, I thank Fani Garagouni, who wonderfully facilitated the research and writing of this book.
The digital age and the age of hip-hop emerged collaterally during the last 35 years. Increasingly, young people in the United States and globally use screen-based, digital technologies to source and transmit words, images, video, and sounds as they engage in meaning making, identity connections, and social networking. They come to school with experiences, interests, affinities, and skills uniquely enabled by new media, and engaging them in classrooms requires new learning of teachers.
This book reveals significant ways that high school teachers extended their professional learning to revitalize learning in their classrooms in the complex educational context of an urban, public continuation high school in northern California. They did this through participation in a novel professional development project that was part of a university/public school research collaboration called TEACH (Technology, Equity, And Culture in High-performing schools). In this project, teachers were supported and guided in developing perspectives and skills needed to take greater advantage of new media and new information sources in conjunction with relevant connections to youth experiences and interests. This work draws on extensive qualitative data to document, describe, and analyze how the learning of both teachers and students was dramatically transformed as they worked to incorporate an array of new media in their classrooms.
