Reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people live and learn with new media in varied settings--at home, in after-school programs, and in online spaces--it presents a flexible and useful framework for understanding the ways that young people engage with and through online platforms: hanging out, messing around, and geeking out, otherwise known as HOMAGO. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrating twenty-three case studies--which include \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e podcasting, video-game playing, music sharing, and online romantic breakups--in a unique collaborative authorship style, \u003ci\u003eHanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out\u003c\/i\u003e combines in-depth descriptions of specific group dynamics with conceptual analysis. Since its original publication, digital learning labs in libraries and museums around the country have been designed around the HOMAGO mode and educators have created HOMAGO guidebooks and toolkits. This tenth-anniversary edition features a new introduction by Mizuko Ito and Heather Horst that discusses how digital youth culture evolved in the intervening decade, and looks at how HOMAGO has been put into practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written as a collaborative effort by members of the Digital Youth Project, a three-year research effort funded by the John D. and Catherine T.
