This Friday May 9, Global Kids is hosting a live event on NMC Campus at Teaching. The new Joan Ganz Cooney Center will be streaming their inaugural, invite-only symposium on “Logging into the Playground: How Digital Media are Shaping Children’s Learning.”

As children everywhere tap into the new digital playground through gaming, mobile devices and the Internet, educators, researchers, policymakers and high-tech industry leaders are joining forces to examine how these latest technologies are shaping the education of today’s children. Galvanizing this effort is the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, an independent, not for profit research institute named for Sesame Street’s visionary founder. Today, Center executives announced plans to host a May 9 symposium in New York, “Logging into the Playground: How Digital Media are Shaping Children’s Learning.” This first ever, invitation-only event will explore how digital media can improve children’s literacy, learning and development.
