Digital Media and Learning Competition

The MacArthur Foundation has just announced an open competition for grants in the area of Digital Media and Learning. This is part of the initiative at the foundation that I have been involved in for several years. It is great to see it expanding in this way and I'm looking forward to welcoming new colleagues into this network. This competition is designed to support innovation and networking/communication in this area, and will be administered by the nice folks at HASTAC. You can see the press release here.

Dear Mizuko Ito,

My name is Andrea Rodes. I am a Spanish journalist. I work for La Vanguardia newspaper. I am trying to contact you to hear your opinion on the success of KEITAI BUNKO: novels on the mobile phone in Japan. I belive an email will be better.
Thank you very much

--Howard Gardner


Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning with New Media
Mizuko Ito, et al.

"This is a beautifully written and extraordinarily rich account of perhaps the most important challenge cyberspace gives us: understanding how it is changing out kids and how it might change our understanding of literacy."
--Lawrence Lessig


Personal, Portable, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life
Mizuko Ito, Daisuke Okabe, and Misa Matsuda Eds.

"This is not just about a technology or the way it is used in one country. It's about understanding one of the most important ways that twenty-first century lives will differ from those of the twentieth century."
--Howard Rheingold
