The Digital Generation Project, The George Lucas Educational Foundation <http://www.edutopia.org/digital-generation> Today's kids are born digital -- born into a media-rich, networked world of infinite possibilities. But their digital lifestyle is about more than just cool gadgets; it's about engagement, self-directed learning, creativity, and empowerment. The Digital Generation Project tells their stories so that educators and parents can understand how kids learn, communicate, and socialize in very different ways than any previous generation. There are a variety of youth portraits that can be used to share the effects of the use of technology, personal stories from youth. This is important as we are educating for the future, not the past.
