Connected learning, as its name implies, works to connect these spheres more pur-posefully. The goal is not to fully integrate these spheres of learning—each requires its own autonomous space—but to build connections, hand-offs, and sites of trans-lation in order to reach more young people where they are.
Every connection must have a purpose.
-
Connected learn-ing seeks to integrate three spheres of learning that are often disconnected and at war with each other in young people’s lives: peer culture, interests, and academic content.

-
Are mentors present who can help young people to connect their interest/activity to academic/institutional domains?
It is at the hands of the mentors to link interests and academia.
-
When young people do well and are well behaved in the classroom, it improves the class-room experience, but it does not elevate culture at large or expand a valuable social network if the activity ends at the classroom walls.
This is why opportunities outside of the school are important.
-
Making use of social media platforms and channels such as Facebook, YouTube, Livestream, and Twitter, the HPA connects young people who are inspired by the civic virtues portrayed in the Harry Potter books, and want to apply them to the real world.
Connected learning often incorporates the use of technology.
-
Public schools like Q2L have an impor-tant role to play in broadening access to connected learning, providing opportuni-ties and guidance for young people to connect their social and recreational learning to academic subjects and prospects.
Goal is to tie interests and academia.

Preparing children for creative jobs does not guarantee that those jobs will materialize just because workers are stand-ing by.
Even if children are prepared for these jobs, the jobs aren't always available.
-
A strong current in the workforce readiness view holds that “creative work” is where the security will be, and that the current education system must produce students who are capable of the critical and creative thinking skills
There needs to be more of an emphasis on creativity, open-mindedness, innovation, etc, but currently schools focus more on standards and "facts" for exams.

Since the late seventies, there has been significant growth in college attendance among youth in higher income brackets, while rates of college attendance among poor youth have remained relatively flat (Bailey and Dynarski, 2011).
Another example of a further divide due to income differences -- leads to even less opportunities presented to those of lower income.

Employment Status of high school graduates not attending college full-time
The largest differences between the pre-recession and the recession 'era' are between "employed, full-time" which dropped from ~37% to ~18% and between "unemployed, looking for work" which rose from ~23% to ~37%.
-
Based on this history, the message to young people has been that they should seek college educations and professional certifications as a reliable eco-nomic investment.
This is not always the case now. You have to take job availability into consideration and simply having a degree does not equate to getting a good paying job.

Privileged families also support tailored learning opportunities through clubs, camps, sports, and other programs where their children get recognition, gain skills, and make meaningful con-tributions.
This is not something that is available to all children. Without a diversified learning environment available to the general public, the divide between groups becomes greater.

14 | CONNECTED LEARNINGoday’s educational institutions are struggling to fulfill their mission of provid-ing pathways to opportunity for all youth. In the past two decades, earnings have dropped for those without high school degrees, while dropout rates have continued to remain high among vulnerable populations. At the same time, privileged families are turning to costly private schools and enrichment activities for an educa-tional edge, preparing their children for a competitive and volatile market for profes-sional and fulfilling jobs.
Opportunity for all youth is not equal.
- wages dropping for those w/o high school degrees
