    How Youth Are Reinventing Instagram and Why Having Multiple Accounts Is Trending
    Today’s social media landscape offers a crucial space for youth to interact with others, form and maintain relationships, and develop media relevant attitudes, skills, norms, and practices. Rich in visual and audiovisual content, and with an array of opportunities to engage in identity exploration, creative expression, and building and curating audiences and networks, the social media environment is multifaceted and complex.
    Extended Reality. The Potential of Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality Experiences for Remote Teaching and Learning
    There are a variety of XR tools that can be explored in remote environments that may help improve the teaching and learning experience, enhance students’ motivation and engagement, or simply make a learning activity more novel or fun.
    How Youth Are Contributing to the Digital Economy and Why Their Participation Is More Important Than Ever
    Youth are participating in the digital economy through their mediated activities on web platforms and mobile apps. By doing so, they create value for cultural goods, brands, and companies and, in some cases, for themselves. However, youth participation in this economy varies according to gender, race, and socioeconomic status, and is shaped by the structural inequalities that exist in contemporary societies.

    Resources for Educators:

    The Digital Citizenship+ Resource Platform
    It is becoming increasingly important for youth to develop skills to navigate the digital world. Use any of our (free) learning activities on the DCRP, many of which require limited Internet access, as an inspiration to guide your teaching around digital skills and encourage self-directed learning! The Digital Citizenship+ (Plus) Resource Platform (DCPR) (previously called the Digital Literacy Resource Platform (DLRP)) is an evolving collection of learning experiences, visualizations, and other educational resources (collectively referred to as “tools”) designed and maintained by the Youth and Media team. You can you use the DCRP to learn about different areas of youth’s (ages 11-18) digitally connected life. Learn more at https://dcrp.berkman.harvard.edu/about.
