Spotlight on Digital Media And Learning

8.8.11 | Like millions of happy children everywhere, Spotlight is taking its annual summer break and will resume posting later this month. But first, two quick links.

If you’re headed on vacation and thinking about disconnecting for a while (but not really), see Erica Swallow’s how-to at Mashable on using social media during a family vacation.

Or, for a look at what some kids are doing this summer to learn more about digital media, read Razeen Zaman’s post at DMLcentral on a six-week workshop, a collaboration between the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Institute of Play, that encourages teens to explore game design as an art form. 

We hope you enjoy your summer, wherever you are.
