Posted by on November 2, 2009

Please join Philadelphia educators, parents, researchers, students, and community members for a free public forum entitled The Power of Youth Voice: What Kids Learn When They Create With Digital Media.  This event will take place Wednesday, November 18, 2009, from 6pm-8pm at The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and will also be available online.

The goal of the event is to open discussion in the Philadelphia area with a range of interested community members about how young people can and do learn from digital media.  From 6pm-7pm, there will be a reception during which examples of digital work done by young people in and outside of school are on display.  From 7pm-8pm, there will be a panel on this topic with some of the national leaders in the field, followed by a question and answer session.
