The Digital Generation Report: Edutopia.org

 
Although today’s kids are “born into a media-rich, networked world of infinite possibilities,” as Edutopia.org notes, “their digital lifestyle is about more than just cool gadgets; it's about engagement, self-directed learning, creativity, and empowerment.” Edutopia’s Digital Generation Project features videos and stories about engaged, self-directed young people that aim to help educators and parents see just how differently the kids learn, communicate, and socialize. Produced with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Digital Generation Project is a great early resource into how digital media has, and will continue to, transform children’s lives and educational experiences.
