Digital Media and Learning Project

The MacArthur Foundation has recently launched the Digital Media and Learning Project, a study exploring how new media technologies are changing the way young people "play, socialize, and engage in civic life." Some of the questions the study hopes to answer are

• Are young people fundamentally different because of their exposure to technology?
• What environments and experiences capture their interest and contribute to their learning?
• What are the implications for education?
