"Interest-Driven Arts Learning in a Digital Age"

DIGITAL YOUTH NETWORK digitalyouthnetwork.org Learning doesnt stop with the school bell. DYN is a hybrid digital-literacy program that creates opportunities for students to learn both in-school and out. Increasingly, community libraries are becoming popular hangouts for teens eager to use digital tools to create their own music, movies, and more. Working with peers and mentors, theyre redefining how and when learning happens. For a glimpse of a new national model for informal learning focused on teens interests, take a look at YOUmedia, a collaboration between DYN and the Chicago Public Library: youmediachicago.org. HOW TO GET INVOLVED: So far, a dozen sites have been selected as locations where 21st-century learning labs will be built in libraries and museums. The initiative, cosponsored by the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, will expand the YOUmedia model of informal learning. Find out more about these projects from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation (macfound.org).
