Individual Grants
The MacArthur Foundation is providing support to researchers, educators, game developers, and others to explore how, and to what extent, digital technologies are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life. Grants are also made for efforts to dermine how educational and other social institutions must change to meet the needs of this and future generations. The following is a list of projects supported through the MacArthur digital media and learning initiative.
University of Chicago
Project Summary
The Center for Urban School Improvement in Chicago is collaborating with several of the Initiative’s researchers to test and develop new curricula and tools to promote new media literacy. The after-school program’s students are the first to use many of these new tools, and researchers will use their experiences in designing the next generation of new media literacy curricula.
