Cooney Center Fellows Program

2012-2013 Cooney Center Fellows  Christina Hinton and Anna Ly

The Cooney Center Fellows participated in a wide range of projects to develop broad exposure to scholarship, policy, and practice in the field of digital media and learning. This professional development program offered opportunities to:

• Conduct research on digital media use among elementary school-age children;
• Publish research that responds to practical industry and practitioner needs;
• Expand the influence research has in government, education, philanthropy, and industry decision making; and
• Develop new skills and perspectives that are critical to becoming a leader in the field of digital media and learning.

Former Fellows have led research investigations and published reports and articles on digital media innovations, industry trends, and policy solutions. They have also developed public presentation and media outreach skills, organized major cross-sector convenings, and contributed to the overall growth of the Cooney Center.
