Educator's Guide to Wikipedia

As a collective venture, Wikipedia is all about making information a public good. The goal of this project is to find ways for teachers and professors to educate their students about how information is constructed, controlled, and disseminated by using Wikipedia as a case study.

Digital Natives

admin — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 08:33:09 -0500

Digital Natives focuses on the key legal, social, and political implications of a generation "born digital" - those who grow up immersed in digital technologies, for whom a life fully integrated with digital devices is the norm. By understanding young people’s interactions with digital media such as internet, cell phones and video games, we may address the issues their practices raise, learn how to harness the opportunities their digital fluency presents, and shape our regulatory and educational frameworks in a way that advances the public interest.
