~~~~~~ANNOUNCING NEW ELECTRONIC MAILING LIST -- YOUTHLEARN ~~~~~
YOUTHLEARN is an electronic mailing list sponsored by the Morino Institute (http://www.morino.org). YOUTHLEARN focuses on
issues related to working with youth and technology, specifically in
out-of-school settings. This list encourages the exchange of information,
teaching techniques, practical tips and provides space for questions for other
members online. Practitioners who are directly working with children and
educational experts will be particularly interested in the YOUTHLEARN list. As
a forum for discussion, YOUTHLEARN intends to:
* Create a space where practitioners can exchange questions and responses to
urgent questions
* Provide up-to-date information about learning and technology issues and initiatives
* Facilitate collaboration among community -based organizations working in this
field
* Support the creation of an online community for those working with and interested
in the use of technology to increase opportunities for youth in out-of-school
programs
* Encourage and increase information exchange to build the capacity of community-based
organizations
This list grew out of online discussions and exchanges by participants in a face-to-face
training program created through the Youth Development Collaborative Pilot
(http://www.morino.org/ydcpilotoverview.asp), an initiative of the Morino
Institute.
