Through this workshop, John Palfrey offers a chance for educators across Greater Boston to reflect on how their teaching and learning practices are changing in a digital age. Palfrey, along with co-author Urs Gasser, has revised and expanded “a landmark sociological study,” entitled Born Digital, of young people and their use of new media. This new edition of Born Digital (2016) is based on a decade of research at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard. The workshop will involve an initial overview of the research, followed by a period of small-group discussion and consideration of teaching and learning practices. By the end of the workshop, participants will have had an opportunity to explore the myths and realities of how young people are engaging today with media, schools, and one another.
