Digital Learning Sites!

Because we are all working on our projects and creating digital learning for others, this week I thought I'd look for Web sites on digital learning. I was certain I'd find something, but I was surprised to see just how many sites out there are dedicated to this topic and more interestingly these sites were based in many different parts of the world. Sometimes in the U.S. we tend to think that we are among the most advanced in areas of techology but if we take a closer look, we can find that a lot of the world is concerned with technology and increasing education in these areas. This digital Learning site is based in India and offers all kinds of news on digital learning, conferences, policy, etc. The organization who runs the site, the Center for Science, Development and Media Studies(CSDMS) strives to provide solutions for underpriviledged societies through advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in these areas. This site offers a lot of fun and interesting navigation if you are interested!

Another site on digital media and learning funded by the MacArthur Foundation also contains a lot of great information. The site offers current research in the area, experts in the field, young people's thoughts on how digital media and learning is affecting their lives, and a Blog that interested parties can participate in. Another fun journey of navigation if you can find the time!

Of course, there are many more such sites, but I will not go on and on about them here. If you can, take the time to do a search for digital learning and see what you find. This is obviously an area of booming interest and it'd be interesting to see just how much depth and breadth of information is out there.
