How will students be better able to communicate with others from diverse cultural backgrounds as Jenkins et. al (2006) wrote? It seems that the participation gap with fewer barrio kids having Internet access would affect cultural interaction in cyberspace. Public libraries are not filling in this gap because access to the Internet is lousy there.
As for the transparency problem, students being able to examine media themselves, critical use will be a function of age probably, with younger kids needing the advice of someone older to help them make media choices.
As for playing games online, I know of one person who often played with anonymous opponents some of whom were just young kids. When she found out that she was playing with a juvenile, she watched her language in her trash talking. This could be viewed as an ethical dilemma, how you communicate with a young teen like this.
