Spotlight on Digital Media And Learning

11.17.09 | A public forum, The Power of Youth Voice: What Kids Learn When They Create With Digital Media, is taking place in Philadelphia on Nov. 18. But if you’re not in Philadelphia, not to worry. The event will be simulcast on the Internet and in Second Life from 6 to 8 p.m. EST.

Get answers to the many questions around what it means for young people to be widely involved in digital media today—whether they’re playing video games, using the Internet for research or social networks, or using mobile devices. 

Experts from the Media Education Lab, the Digital Youth Network and the National Writing Project are scheduled to speak. Program information is available here.

The event is presented by the National Writing Project, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation.
