I am a bit behind on reporting this but Demos has recently (beginning of January) brought out a new publication (authors Celia Hannon and Hannah Green) called Their Space.
You can download the article for free as a pdf ..
It does what it says on the tin and more:
Their Space: Education for a digital generation draws on qualitative research with children and polling of parents to counter the myths obscuring the true value of digital media.
Approaching technology from the perspective of children, it tells positive stories about how they use online space to build relationships and create original content. It argues that the skills children are developing through these activities, such as creativity, communication and collaboration, are those that will enable them to succeed in a globally networked, knowledge-driven economy
I think it’s really good and Hannah and Celia talk about it here on the radio.
Cool post DrJoolz
