Living and Learning with New Media: Summary of Findings from the Digital Youth Project

December 12, 2009 | Media and Technology, Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections
This report summarizes the results of a three-year ethnographic study, funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after school programs, and in online spaces. The authors present empirical data on new media in the lives of American youth in order to reflect upon the relationship between new media and learning.
