This is a reblog from Mimi Ito's blog, with the summary and live links to the full paper produced by the Digital Youth Project she has led so ably for the past three years.   It also includes links to summaries and press releases.  Congratulations to Mimi and her team!  And special thanks, as usual, for the leadership of the MacArthur Foundation in making real research, not baseless punditry, the starting place for serious thinking and serious conversation.  Here's the link to Mimi's blog: http://www.itofisher.com/mito/weblog/2008/11/living_and_learning_with_ne...

HASTAC Leader Kevin Franklin, Executive Director of The Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts and Social Science
(I-CHASS), announces the launch of Planet Digital Humanities, Arts and Social
Science (Planet DHASS) http://hass.informatics.uiuc.edu/. Inspired by
Planet Lisp and Planet Gnome, Planet DHASS will provide a meta-blog
for content from individuals, groups, projects, and institutions
working at the intersection of digital technology and humanities,
arts, and social science. Engineered by NCSA research programmer Duane
Searsmith, the meta-blog is updated continuously.

The talk I gave at the Franklin Center on Wednesday October 1 is available on Duke's iTune's Channel. It is called "Digital Youth and the Paradox of Digital Labor: Do-It-Yourself or Do-It-For-Them." Here's the url: http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/new.duke.edu.1483972...
