[conf] Video from the "Power of Youth Voice" Public Forum in Philly & Second Life
Last Wednesday, November 18, Global Kids had the honor of helping produce the "Power of Youth Voice" public forum at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, PA.
For those that were not able to attend the simulcast or real life event, it has now been uploaded to Youtube by the MacArthur Foundation.
It was a neat event to be involved with, bringing together some of the leading figures in the digital media and learning field from the National Writing Project, the Digital Youth Network, Media Education Lab, and the MacArthur Foundation, together with a couple of hundred real world participants, and another 150 or so participating via Second Life and the web. It's great seeing the kind of innovative work being done with youth across a range of social media, around the United States, in a variety of formal and informal settings.
Due to the time, I was only able to transmit a couple of the questions submitted from the virtual audience, which you can see here. More pics from the virtual event are here.
Thanks, everyone, who came and participated! And thanks to the National Writing Project, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation for involving Global Kids in this great event.
