$50,000,000
[SUMMARY—A new digital learning initiative with clout!]
(US) The MacArthur Foundation has pledged $50 million over the next five years to help build the emerging field of digital media and learning.
Digital Media and Learning initiative
Jonathan Fanton, the Foundation’s President:
This is the first generation to grow up digital, coming of age in a world where computers, the internet, videogames, and cell phones are common, and where expressing themselves through these tools is the norm. Given how present these technologies are in their lives, do young people act, think and learn differently today? And what are the implications for education and for society?
WOW—exactly the focus of MediaSnackers ;-)
What an initiative though and makes me wish I could put my virtual hand up to take part.
