digital youth network

Recently the MacArthur Foundation enlisted a few DYN students to blog on their Digital Media and Learning site. They picked a few standout students from DYN and another great program our of New York, Global Kids.

While the DML blog is typically reserved for thought leaders in DML to provide perspective on innovative approaches to integrated new media and learning, they chose to use the end of '08 to highlight the students themselves.

Kudos to everyone over at MacArthur for not only giving ambitious educators and researchers a platform to push thinking around this work, but also for giving the students a platform to tell their stories.

Check out DYN's students discussing their experience with media:

Terrence Thompson: Student Produced Film, “Division 201”

Shani Edmond: A Future in Film

Mosea Harris: Realm of New Thought

Jalen Jackson: Kings of the Digital Youth Network
