SUMMARY:Reframing Education for the 22nd Century
DESCRIPTION:2020 was a year unlike any we have experienced before … until 2021. We have witnessed the “hoaxification” of the COVID-19 pandemic\, massive civic unrest in response to long-tolerated systemic racism and injustice\, continued denial of climate change in spite of an increasingly inhospitable natural environment\, and most recently\, a violent insurrection seeking to disrupt democracy and encourage authoritarianism.At the root of these issues is more than a conflict between change and the status quo: it’s the difference between equitable and sustainable societies and life-threatening imbalances in power and privilege.One critical challenge is that our education systems are fundamentally designed to advance individualistic goals over collective success. Even “21st century skills\,” such as collaboration and communication\, are implemented in ways that fall short of their goals. As educators\, we have a moral imperative to rethink our work so that children are prepared to bend\, if not upend\, the arc of history toward progress for the common good.Education should foster in each and every child an egalitarian mindset — a positive sense of oneself as a worthy individual rooted in valued cultural traditions\, able and disposed to construct a view of reality from multiple perspectives and act in collaboration with others toward the common good. To develop an egalitarian mindset\, we might consider these questions: \n 	School climate and culture: What features of present-day school structures and cultures should students never or rarely experience? \n\n 	Pedagogy\, Curriculum and Assessment: What about current teachers and teaching\, curriculum\, and assessment should students never or rarely experience? \n\n 	Technology: What should be the normative experience of every child with regard to technology\, including AI? What should they never or rarely experience? \nHow would these changes lead to egalitarian mindsets?The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and the Center for Global Education at Asia Society invite you to participate in a series of provocative conversations with the goal of reframing the purpose of education as the foundation for a social movement toward equality and sustainability. We hope that you will join us.Dates: Wednesday\, April 7\, 14\,  and 28 (Skipping April 21)\nTime: 1 PM US EDT for 75 minutes\nFormat: A weekly series of salons encouraging the free flow of ideas around how to build an education system for the 22nd century focused on the common good. In partnership with \n\n \n\n \n\n

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.

SUMMARY:SXSW 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Joan Ganz Cooney Center is thrilled to participate in two sessions at SXSW 2023 this March. If you’re in Austin\, we invite you to join us at the JW Marriott on March 10 and 11th.\nDesigning Tech for Children’s Well-Being\nThere has been a great deal of conversation about technology’s potential harms for children. But what does well-being for children in the digital age look like? Can we design digital experiences that allow children to learn emotional regulation\, develop competence and creativity\, feel empowered and self-actualized\, and connect with others in a diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive environment\, while also keeping them safe? We will discuss the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) project—a global\, multi-stakeholder\, and cross-sectoral initiative that aims (1) to create a framework that maps how the design of children’s digital experiences affects their well-being\, and (2) to provide guidance as to how informed design choices can promote positive well-being outcomes.\nMarch 10 | 2:30 pm CST | JW Marriott Salon 7-8\n\n \nDesigning for Digital Thriving\nHow can we create & foster healthy\, inclusive digital spaces that enable individuals and communities to thrive? Riot Games\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, the Fair Play Alliance & IDEO came together to host an Open Innovation Challenge to champion responsible design practices that foster healthy\, inclusive communities in a rapidly changing digital world. By learning how to intentionally design online spaces with digital thriving in mind\, we believe that anyone can help individuals\, groups\, & communities truly thrive in today’s connected world. No matter what industry you’re a part of\, we invite you to share in our vision of creating a thriving digital world for all.\nMarch 11 | 11:30 am CST | JW Marriott Salon 7-8\n\n \n\nWe also invite SXSW participants to take a break in the LEGO Play Lounge in Room 403 of the JW Marriott on March 10. Recharge and play with us!

SUMMARY:Designing Tech for Kids' Well-Being at ASU+GSV 2023
DESCRIPTION:What does well-being for children in the digital age look like?
