Educators and Mentors as Connected Learners
Sun, April 10, 8:15 to 9:45am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Liberty Salon OSession 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 (Ito et al., 2013)—has focused on youth learning in after- or out-of-school sites (e.g., Sefton-Green, 2013, Martin, 2014). The five papers in this panel document various aspects of the implementation of connected learning principles with adults--both educators in formal school/professional development spaces and adult mentors working in youth learning spaces out of school.
