 * Raising Digital Kids: Intro** by Kevin Honeycutt

The MacArthur Foundation has produced a **series on Digital Media and Learning**. Really great stuff, particularly the piece on participatory culture and how technology can help to create a participatory culture in schools and communities. Click here for the entire series.

Here is a link to my Slideshare profile. I've uploaded some presentations I've created and delivered through my work at the Wellesley Institute. Feel free to adapt, mash, season, and "borrow" at your leisure.
