The Future of
Media & Technology in
Children’s Education
Media and technology’s potential to positively impact children’s education is undeniable. Ensuring that this potential is realized, however, will require not only the advancements made by pilot programs, but also will rely on effective advocacy to gain the support needed from policymakers and interest groups to bring any education innovation to scale.
In September 2009, Children Now, in partnership with The Future of Children, a collaboration of Princeton University and The Brookings Institution, delivered a national conference that explored open issues of using media and technology to improve children’s education. The program focused on tweens, featuring research from The Future of Children journal and presentations from top experts in the field.
