Digital Media—New Learners of the 21st Century (PBS)

February 20, 2011 Author: Vanessa Greenwood, Ph.D.

This is a highly thoughtful 1-hour PBS feature of 5 innovative schooling projects in search for the purpose of education in the 21st century. It’s important to recognize that digital technologies are merely the means (not the ends) of schooling and ultimately to generate innovative thinkers among young people. It’s never been more important in the history of our country to more deeply understand learning (and consequently teaching) and then to create a model of schooling that fits the social, political, economic and intellectual needs of our country now.
