SUMMARY:The Augmented and Virtual Reality Policy Conference
DESCRIPTION:In the last decade\, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) have evolved from niche tools for enthusiasts and high-tech industries to more widely adopted communications technologies that have the potential to transform the way people communicate\, collaborate\, and learn. As AR/VR solutions gain traction across sectors\, they will raise important policy considerations-some of which are already a part of broader tech policy discussions\, while others will be unique to these technologies. Through a series of expert talks and panels\, this half-day virtual conference organized by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and the XR Association will explore the role of policy in AR/VR innovation and identify priority areas for policymakers to consider as these technologies continue to expand. \nJGCC Executive Director Michael Preston will be speaking beginning at 1:25 PM EST on Thursday\, October 21st\, as part of the Lightning Round: Priorities for an AR/VR Policy Agenda panel.\n\nRegister for the conference here.

SUMMARY:Learning at Home While Under-Connected and the Role of Public Media
DESCRIPTION:Learning at Home While Under-Connected: Lower-Income Families During the COVID-19 Pandemic follows up on 2016’s Opportunity for All? Technology and Learning in Lower-Income Families to uncover the perspectives of lower-income parents with children ages 3 to 13. In March and April 2021\, researchers Vikki Katz and Victoria Rideout led a national survey of more than 1\,000 parents. The report delves into the experiences that these families had while many children were learning at home during a time when many school buildings were closed. It provides timely\, pointed\, and thought-provoking insights on the challenges of being under-connected when trying to support young students at home without adequate devices and internet connections.From the earliest days of the pandemic\, public media organizations around the country mobilized to address the needs of their communities. This panel will explore the role that local public media stations can play in diagnosing community needs and sharing learning resources for all children and families.\n\n \n\nThe webinar will take place on Oct. 26\, 2021 at 12:00 PM EST.
