SUMMARY:Games and Learning Society Conference 10
DESCRIPTION:The GLS Conference is the premier event in the field of video games and learning. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary\, this grassroots “indie” event continues to be one of the few destinations where the people who create high-quality digital learning media can gather for serious discussion about what is happening in the field and how the field can serve the public interest.  The pre-conference Playful Learning Summit promotes professional development opportunities to celebrate and deepen educators’ use of games in various educational settings\, and fosters collaboration among teachers\, designers\, researchers and others throughout the elementary to higher education continuum.\n\nThe Cooney Center’s Lori Takeuchi will join a panel entitled “The State of the Surveys: Framing and Informing Research on Games and Learning” which will include Michelle Riconscente of New York University and Seeta Pai of Common Sense Media. Barry Fishman of the University of Michigan will moderate.\n\nFor more information\, please visit the GLS Conference website.

SUMMARY:Anytime\, Anywhere Summer Learning
DESCRIPTION:The so called “summer slide” in educational achievement hits young children from low-income families the hardest. Without opportunities to read together with adults\, to practice new skills and to gain exposure to new words and ideas\, far too many young children lose two to three months of reading skills each summer. Scholars have documented that two-thirds of the ninth-grade reading achievement gap can be attributed to this loss in the elementary school years alone.\n\nHow can schools and communities address this troubling and costly phenomenon?  Could well-deployed technology help close the summer learning gap?  Several national organizations and educators are exploring how digital connections may bring new resources to families and help parents tap into affordable and motivating opportunities for their children to experience the joy of reading and learning\, offline and on.\n\nJoin us for a discussion on the impact of summer learning loss and the possibilities for anytime\, anywhere summer learning. This event is co-hosted by New America and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop in partnership with the National Summer Learning Association and the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading.\n\nLearn more and view the event live on the day of the event on the New America website.\n\nJoin the conversation online using # and following @NewAmericaEd.

SUMMARY:EdWeb Webinar: What We Know About Families’ Use of Educational Media
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, April 16 at 4pm ET\, join us for a free EdWeb webinar featuring Michael Levine\, executive director of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and Vicky Rideout of VJR Consulting and author of Learning at Home: Families’ Use of Educational Media Use in America.\n\nWebinar Room: http://www.instantpresenter.com/edwebnet16\nRegistration Link: http://www.instantpresenter.com/PIID=EC59DF81814F \n\nAsk any parent about their children’s media use\, and most will tell you they’re interested in media that help their kids learn.

Please join us for a webinar\, in which we will share results from Learning at Home: Families’ Educational Media Use in America\, a report from a national survey of over 1500 parents of children ages 2-10.  You’ll hear how children and parents use media together\, overall and by platform\, and also how parents’ media use with their children changes as they get older. We will discuss the report’s findings around these questions:\n\n-Which subjects do parents feel their children are learning the most about from media?\n-Which platforms do they perceive as being most effective?\n-What are some of the obstacles to greater use of educational media?\n-What are childrens’ reading behaviors online and with electronic reading devices?\n\nJoin us on April 16th to learn how you can help support parents in their use of educational media with children\, harnessing the potential of media as digital citizens.\n\nThe webinar will be recorded and archived in the community after the event.\n\nThis webinar is co-hosted by www.edweb.net and Common Sense Media.

SUMMARY:DML 2014
DESCRIPTION:The DML2014 conference calls on all of us to build shared agendas and goals\, to reach across the boundaries that separate our disciplines\, fields\, institutions\, and sectors to re-imagine the where\, when\, and how of educational practice.\n\nOn March 7 at 4pm\, join the Cooney Center for “Creating Youth Builders – Promoting a New Game Design Ecosystem to Engage Hard-to-Reach Youth in Learning.” Game-based learning has emerged as a promising area of innovation in making STEM content\, critical skills\, and systems thinking more engaging for America’s youth (e.g.\, Klopfer et al\, 2009). Furthermore\, a growing body of research suggests that creating video games can be a highly engaging way for youth to learn STEM skills (e.g.\, Robertson & Howells\, 2008). Though the research shows that game design can be used to learn\, the process of engaging non-dominant youth in game design is a challenging one. To begin to understand these issues\, this session will assemble some of the promising and scalable practices that have already engaged thousands of youth globally and in the U.S.  JGCC Industry Fellow Anna Ly will lead a panel of representatives from non-profits\, educational media\, researchers\, and participants of game design.\n\nSee the DML2014 website for more information.

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.
