Spotlight on Digital Media And Learning

12.12.07 | Henry Jenkins will be speaking at a forum at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge tonight, titled Totally Wired: How Technology is Changing Kids and Learning, along with Howard Gardner and Katie Salen. The event marks the publication of the MacArthur Series on Digital Media and Learning.

In this post from his blog last week, Henry argues that referring to youth as “digital natives implies that there is a world which these young people all share and a body of knowledge they have all mastered, rather than seeing the online world as unfamiliar and uncertain for all of us.”
