MacArthur Award to ACC
Congrats to Professor Mimi Ito, Co-PI on this major grant:
A grant of $3.3 million over three years was awarded to School of Information Systems at the University of California at Berkeley and the Annenberg Center for Communication at the University of Southern California to study how and to what effect young people use digital media. The ethnographic study, which is one of the largest to date, will involve a diverse sample of young people between the ages of 10 and 18 in four physical sites and as many as 20 virtual spaces. Researchers will examine how young people experience digital media and use digital tools in their daily lives, and document the consequences of this exposure. The findings of the study also will be used to help identify possible implications for learning.
