Scholarship in the Digital Age Public Symposium

Scroll down and stream the clip featuring Mizuko Ito, Research Scientist, Annenberg Center for Communication. This forum surfs the tensions between kids/adults, institutions/viral culture, and emergent learning/formalisms that arise when educators and scholars consider the effects of wireless and digital.

Please add to this list. Select a link, and go...no single one of us will be able to "cover" the archive we grow this semester, but each of us will contribute to our commons by reading and teaching our peers what we learn in written responses posted here, on our wiki.

Texts

Each of you will do a book report/oral presentation and provide at least one handout from an approved text, but I will wait until we've worked together for a few weeks before I require any print media. I want us to do close-reading together, but I want to tune this aspect of the course to your interests and projects.
