Technology is omnipresent in the lives of American youth. Studies show that by the time they turn two, more than a third of kids have used a mobile device; and nearly a quarter of teens are online “almost constantly.” In the right context, digital media and the web can serve as powerful tools for learning—but their use by youth has also been linked to attention problems, obesity and other issues.
Explore:
- What we know and have yet to learn about the growing use of digital media tools and technologies by youth
- The benefits and challenges of youth exposure to digital media
- Best practices for integrating digital media into a young person’s education and home life, and their implications for education, youth development and workforce funders
Presenters
- Lori Rose Benson, Vice President, Healthy Lifestyles, YMCA of Greater New York
- An-Me Chung, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Mozilla Foundation
- Michael Levine, Executive Director, Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop
- Kerry McCarthy (moderator), Senior Program Officer, Arts & Historic Preservation, The New York Community Trust
Designed for
All interested funders.
