SUMMARY:The Education Market: VR’s Best Hope? at XR for Change Summit
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, June 17\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center presents a panel discussion at the XR for Change Summit in New York City.\n\nFor years\, experts have been predicting that immersive technologies like AR and VR are on the cusp of breaking into the mainstream market. But despite the dazzling experiences that users may encounter when they first try a VR headset\, industry reports suggest there continue to be signs of instability in the hardware marketplace\, and that consumer demand hasn’t been as strong as anticipated. Perhaps the classroom is where AR and VR will really shine.\n\nChildren are enthusiastic about AR and VR\, and teachers have expressed greater engagement around lessons that incorporate immersive media. But is it safe? How are these technologies being deployed in the classroom – are teachers receiving the training and support they need to implement successful lessons? What happens when the novelty wears off? And as AR and VR continue to gain traction in the education marketplace\, how can we ensure equitable access to these learning experiences for all students?\n\n \n\nView the full agenda for the XR for Change Summit.\n\n

SUMMARY:Immersive Media Design and Children Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Immersive Media Design and Children is a one-day workshop to be held at the 2019 Interaction Design and Children Conference in Boise\, Idaho. Co-hosted by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and foundry10\, this workshop will bring together a community of researchers\, designers\, practitioners\, and other experts who are interested in the responsible design of immersive media—or augmented\, virtual\, mixed\, and cross reality—for children\, while taking into account children’s developmental needs\, equity\, and inclusivity. At the workshop\, participants will discuss and make connections across their work\, participate in hands-on activities\, and begin producing a set of design guidelines for immersive media for children\, grounded in their collective experiences\, research\, and knowledge of the field. After the workshop\, we will publish these guidelines as a white paper to distribute to interested industries\, developers\, designers\, and more to positively impact the future of childhood. https://imdc-workshop.wixsite.com/idc2019

SUMMARY:Reframing Learning Across Boundaries: Building Public Understanding and Support
DESCRIPTION:We know that children spend more than 80% of their time outside of school. But research indicates that millions of preschool and school age children—especially those from low-income communities—too often lack access to the connected\, intentional\, evidence-based educational nourishment that is needed to propel lifelong learning. To combat these inequities\, policymakers and program developers have targeted expanded learning opportunities as a national priority. But research by the FrameWorks Institute has identified a disconnect that needs to be addressed: most people don’t fully appreciate the value of learning outside of school or the need to connect learning between different environments. This lack of appreciation for how\, where\, and when learning occurs holds important implications in building public support for needed reforms. Practitioners\, program designers\, and advocates need strategies to build greater understanding among their constituents about the value of these connections.\n\nAt the Summit\, co-hosted by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center\, the FrameWorks Institute\, and PBS\, a carefully selected group of  leaders from across sectors and geographies will craft creative new strategies to support programs and policies that advance learning across boundaries. The Cooney Center will share findings from its research on how parents and teachers are connecting children’s learning across settings\, and FrameWorks will share insights on how the general public and decision-makers think about children’s learning environments. The event will use these resources to launch a toolkit for the “reframing” of the national conversation and provide a chance to advance organizational alliances moving forward.\n\n

SUMMARY:Future of Childhood Salon: Immersive Media and Child Development
DESCRIPTION:On November 7 and 8\, 2018\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, the School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University\, and Dubit will host the inaugural Future of Childhood Salon on Immersive Media and Child Development. At this day-and-a-half workshop\, we will proactively plan for the future of immersive media—i.e.\, virtual\, augmented\, and mixed realities—in the lives of preadolescents before these technologies become ubiquitous among children this age. A cross-sectoral group of approximately 65 child development and media researchers\, learning scientists\, child health experts\, hardware and content developers\, educators\, journalists\, and funders will look at these emerging media via a cascading series of considerations. These will be organized around necessary choices in order for VR\, AR\, and MR—from such time they are approved for use by pre-teens—to be unique\, essential\, safe\, engaging\, and beneficial to children’s socio-emotional\, cognitive\, and physical development. The goal is to emerge with an agenda for needed research\, a framework for responsible development of immersive experiences for children\, and industry-wide best practices that can evolve over time via cross-sectoral partnerships.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar: What’s Next for STEM Education? Boosting Teachers and Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 16 | 1pm-2:30pm ET\nThis online event is open to the public.\n\nThere is a national consensus that today’s students need more opportunities to build skills in science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) across the PreK-12 grade span. Teachers are a critical piece for providing those opportunities\, but barriers abound. How are teachers recruited? How are they trained? Should education schools approach preparation differently? And what about educators in the early grades\, kindergarten\, and pre-K? What stands in the way of enabling high-quality STEM teaching and learning experiences for young children?\n\n100Kin10’s efforts to name and map the grand challenges in STEM teaching are providing insights and recommendations for tackling these questions. So are two new reports: STEM Starts Early: Grounding Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math Education in Early Childhood\, published by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and New America with support from the National Science Foundation\, and Can UTeach? Assessing the Relative Effectiveness of STEM Teachers\, published by the National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER)\, a program of the American Institutes for Research (AIR).\n\nJoin New America\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, AIR\, and 100Kin10 for a wide-ranging discussion of the ideas emerging from these reports and initiatives—and what they mean for policy making at the local\, state\, and federal levels.\nLearn More

SUMMARY:Webinar: How and Why to Integrate STEM into Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 15 | 6pm ET\nThis online event is open to the public.\n\nResearchers and educators agree: Children demonstrate a clear readiness to engage in science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) learning early in life. And\, just as with language and literacy\, STEM education should start early in order to maximize its benefits and effectiveness. So why is STEM not woven more seamlessly into early childhood education? What can we do — in the classroom\, in homes\, in museums\, in research labs\, and in the halls of legislating bodies – to ensure that all young children have access to high-quality STEM learning early in life?\n\nThis panel consists of authors of and contributors to two major early STEM reports released this year from the Early Childhood STEM Working Group\, and from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and New America. The latest research findings on the importance and impact of early STEM\, as well as practical recommendations\, will be discussed. The recommendations identify specific steps involving research\, policy\, and teaching practice that will promote dramatic improvement in early STEM education for all young children.\n\nAvailable for one-hour of PD credit.Learn More

SUMMARY:Educational Media Use in America: A Breakthrough Learning Forum
DESCRIPTION:On January 24\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center will host a forum featuring a cross-section of leaders from education\, media\, research\, policy\, and philanthropy at a forum in New York City as we release the results of the first national survey on children’s educational media use. \n\nConducted by the Cooney Center and renowned children’s media researcher Vicky Rideout\, the nationally representative survey of nearly 1\,600 parents of children ages 2-10 will provide a provocative platform for a day of action and discussion. Among the survey’s findings that will be discussed are:\n\n	How much of children’s media time is devoted to educational content;\n	How that varies across platforms\, from television to computers\, video games\, and mobile;\n	Which platforms parents think their children have learned from the most;\n	What obstacles impede children’s educational media use;\n	How much time children spend reading in print and electronic formats\, and why some parents don’t want their children using e-books; and\n	How all of these issues vary based on children’s age\, gender\, and socio-economic status.\n\nThe forum will focus on the practical implications of the national study. Speakers will include FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel; Debra Sanchez\, Senior Vice President for Education and Children’s Content Creation at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; Linda Burch\, Chief Education Officer for Common Sense Media; Dale Kunkel\, Professor of Communication at Arizona University; and David Kleeman\, SVP\, Insights Programs and PlayVangelist\, PlayCollective. Learn more about the Families and Media Project.\n\nView agenda ».\n\nThis event is open by invitation only.

SUMMARY:Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age\, the Cooney Centers Annual Leadership Forum
DESCRIPTION:Forty years after the “War on Poverty” and twenty-five years after “A Nation at Risk\,” a new forum was designed to advance a paradigm for learning that harnesses the largely untapped potential of digital media\n\nBreakthrough Learning in a Digital Age is an ongoing forum that convenes thought leaders in science and technology\, informal and formal education\, entertainment media\, research\, philanthropy\, and policy to create a new strategy for scaling-up effective models of teaching and learning for children. The forum showcases cutting-edge research — proven and promising models that are challenging decision makers in key sectors to help “refresh and reboot” American global leadership in education. Last year’s forum demonstrated two dozen creative projects that have breakthrough potential at a special “technology playground” that was established at the Googleplex. Children from Global Kids\, and BAVC participated in the tech playground.\n\nAt the forum\, the Cooney Center unveiled the Cooney Center Prizes\, a national challenge competition designed to encourage innovation in children’s media through digital media. In addition\, the Cooney Center released a new white paper on literacy and learning in a new media age\, The Digital Promise: Transforming Learning with Innovative Uses of Technology by Michael H. Levine and Jeanne Wellings.\n\nThe forum was hosted by Google\, Inc.\, in cooperation with forum founders: the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, Common Sense Media\, and the MacArthur Foundation.\n\n Check out exclusive video interviews and photos.
