35.062 - Connected Learning in Chicago Public Schools

Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Hyatt, Floor: East Tower - Green Level, Plaza A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Much of the research documenting connected learning—a peer-supported, interest-driven approach to education that capitalizes on networked media to engage youth and bridge their formal and informal learning—has focused on after- or out-of-school sites, rather than examining how schools can support such work. Four research papers will be presented that document various aspects of the implementation of a whole-school reform model with connected learning principles at two high-need, low-performing public schools in Chicago. These studies break new ground in documenting both the possibilities and challenges of encouraging connected learning in urban public schools.
