Panel Discussion & Simulcast: New Media in the Everyday Lives of Youth

A panel of researchers will present findings from a three-year ethnographic study on young people’s use of digital media, and a group of practitioners will highlight the implications of this new research for parents, educators and others.

Join us on Wednesday, April 23 from 5 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at Stanford University’s Hewlett Teaching Center for a panel discussion from MySpace to Hip Hop: New Media in the Everyday lives of Youth. Researchers from the Kids’ Informal Learning with Digital Media project - including danah boyd, Heather Horst, Dilan Mahendran and Mimi Ito - will present case studies from a recently completed three-year ethnographic designed to document what young people are doing with new media and online networks. It is the most comprehensive review of young people’s use of media ever conducted. A panel of practitioners - including Tim O’Reilly, Deborah Stipek, Linda Burch and Kenny Miller - will highlight the implications of the research for parents, educators, the media, technology leaders and others.

If you can’t join us in person, you can watch it live on the web here. You can also watch the event with us in Second Life. An audio file of the discussion will also be archived in the Newsroom of the MacArthur Foundation website within a week of the event.

The event is presented by MacArthur and Common Sense Media in association with Stanford University’s School of Education.

Look for posts this week from event panelist Dilan Mahendran and others.
