MacArthur Fdn. Releases New Report on Youth and Digital Learning

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur has just released a new publication,  Re-Imagining Learning, that is available for free downloading here.

Preparing young people to compete and thrive in a global, connected world demands new ways of thinking about education. Digital media has the potential to help us fundamentally re-imagine teaching and learning. We must create new ways and places to learn, new and more rewarding roles for parents and teachers, new approaches to assess learning as it takes place, and, most importantly, a new focus on fostering passion, creativity, innovation, and the skills needed in the 21st century workforce. —MacArthur Foundation, 2010

The website version is particularly interesting as it contains interviews with scholars like Mimi Ito and features our friend and ally Digital Youth Network. Highly recommended, this beautiful site highlights what youth can achieve when given access to innovative technology tools.
