Digital Life & Learning
Digital technologies offer exciting opportunities for learning, civic engagement, and intercultural exchange, among other vital areas of life. Virtual worlds and mobile devices offer new ways of learning and transfer of learning beyond the classroom. Online communities can connect young people from diverse backgrounds to exchange perspectives, while informal learning and civic engagement opportunities abound on social media sites, blogs, and other online spaces. Yet, the internet can also present distractions, misinformation, and negative interactions. It’s vital that educators leverage the positive affordances of digital media and support youth to use them in reflective, positive ways.
