We’ve gathered links in digital media and learning from around the web over the past few months that seem worth highlighting. They include photos of a recent virtual conference, a podcast and discussion on the implications of online play for literacy learning, and dynamic writing and research.

  1. Podcast from RezED, the hub for learning in virtual worlds: Episode 21: interview with Jackie Marsh
  2. Flickr Photos from a virtual conference and preview of Foundations Sim: “Real World Impacts from the Virtual World”
  3. New advisory board at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society: Research Advisory Board for the Internet Safety Technical Task Force
  4. Video on Smart Mobs blog from Project New Media Literacies: Nice Short Video
  5. Article from eSchool News: ‘Digital Disconnect’ divides kids, educators which mentions work by Project Tomorrow and the Consortium for School Networking.
  6. Article about new research on gamers: Study squashes myth of gamer as antisocial Comic Book Guy

What have we missed?  Comment on interesting sites or stories you’ve seen in digital media and learning this fall.
