UncategorizedOn April 23, the MacArthur Foundation and Common Sense Media are hosting a public forum at Stanford University on “how digital technologies and new media are changing the way that young people learn, play, socialize and participate in civic life.” Julia Stasch, the Vice President of the foundation, will shed light on MacArthur’s $50 million digital media and learning initiative in addition to introducing presenters.
