Thanks for coming to the Digital Native wiki.

This site is the public home of an academic research project that joins people at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA, USA and the University of St. Gallen in St. Gallen, Switzerland. This site is intended to support and foster the community of people interested in the phenomenon of "digital natives," or those "born digital." If you are such a person, we hope you'll sign in and begin contributing to the wiki. It's incredibly easy, as you'll find, if you haven't used a wiki before.

We intend for this wiki to be a place for serious consideration of the hard problems at the core of this phenomenon. We hope this site will become a place for honest inquiry and the sharing of useful information.

We've set up a structure for the site that maps to our research, but we hope that others will add to that structure to bring in other issues that we're not directly working on.

Thanks for visiting!

Dear colleagues:

Papyrus News -- a long-time listserv and blog that I first launched in 1999 -- has now been re-inaugurated as a collective blog of the faculty and graduate students in the Digital Learning Lab. Postings discuss the intersection of information and communication technologies with language and literacy practices, educational and social development, culture and diversity, and other varied topics.

Please come and have a look and share this announcement with others: http://papyrusnews.com
