MacArthur Foundation & Digital Media


I haven't been posting here too much lately because I've been busily involved with the MacArthur Foundation series on Digital Media & Learning (DML). The foundation recently announced a new, $50 million dollar initiative to look at the ways new media influence the way young people learn. In line with that new initiative, the foundation is publishing a series of edited volumes on a variety of topics. The initiative also includes a number of online projects, including an online discussion forum, wiki (for members of the intiative), and the Spotlight on DML Blog, which is a cool place to follow some of the work in the series. And, here's my recent entry over there, about race online. One of my colleagues and fellow authors in the volume on "Race and Ethnicity," Mohan Dutta, has an interesting entry about underserved youth and online health activism, that is very worthwhile reading.
