east asia

As a final report on the fantastic Digital Youth East Asia workshop, I provide the following snapshots. These are condensed and unexplicated, simply some tidbits. My notes from the conference fill up seventeen typed pages. It was, as film people like to say, a “content rich” three days in Tokyo. And, above, some snapshots of Tokyo.

Professor Shin Mizukoshi, of the Interfaculty Initiative on Information Studies at the University of Tokyo, is a HASTAC kindred spirit who emphasizes MELL: Media, Expression, Learning, Literacy, the need to develop creatively and think critically and learn by participating. His talk on the mobile phone at Digital Youth East Asia was as inspiring as the beautiful new Tadao Ando building that houses his program.
