Cultural Anthropologist Mimi Ito on Connected Learning, Children, and Digital Media

thanks for the great information and research Mimi. Computers are tools, and if we embrace that, and embrace that creativity is important in the education of our children, then we can start to find ways of supporting them in the use of these tools for intellectual and creative exploration. Right now, our perception of what digital technology is, and the trend to cut creative education from our schools is causing us to miss a real opportunity to foster the creators of tomorrow.
