Education's Digital Future

Educational innovations in youth learning today are bringing to the forefront issues of youth imagination, creation, collaboration, and innovation in a networked world of participatory culture and new media literacies. This forum will showcase design principles and research findings from ongoing partnership projects in Chicago and Oakland in under-resourced public schools and neighborhoods where students work with mentors in designs supporting their creation of video, radio, animations, spoken word poetry, and other media that advance 21st century competencies. Discussions will explore the promise of addressing digital divides and educational inequalities with such designs. The panel, hosted by GSE faculty member Paolo Blikstein, will feature:

Brigid Barron, Stanford Graduate School of Education

Nichole Pinkard, DePaul University

Elisabeth Soep MA '95, PhD '00, Oakland's Youth Radio
