Digital Media & Learning in Afterschool

February 1, 2013 | Media and Technology, Public Programs
Digital media and technology are revolutionizing how, where and when children learn, compelling many educators to completely re-imagine what a learning experience looks like. At the core of effective digital media and learning is the principle that instructional strategies should be personalized and that technology is a tool that supports effective teaching and learning practices. Afterschool programs are an ideal setting for digital learning--excelling at providing interest-driven learning opportunities can learn at their own pace, participate in hands-on learning experiences, and engage in activities that are personal and relevant to them.
