Think About It - Studio Learning

I've become more and more intrigued about using digital tools to support the model of studio based learning environment described by John Seely Brown.     I have been pondering upon the question: 

What learning should be public?  What do we mean by "public"?  Does the answer to these questions change for different age group of children?  For adults?  What do we gain from this approach?  What do we risk losing? How can digital tools support the type of learning environment described here?
