Today I'm thankful for this conversation with @greggbehr and @RyanRydzewski on their wonderful @remakelearning podcast: remakelearning.org/remaking-…
We discuss the question, "How might media makers, researchers, and youth co-design media experiences that matter?"
#kids #technology
How do we flip the script on media and technology, and use it to create shared experiences instead of individual ones?
@reallymdp from @CooneyCenter joins us on this week's episode of the Remaking Tomorrow podcast! Listen wherever you pod, or here: bit.ly/4feGxpL

We recently hosted some co-design sessions with @aerdf w/ tweens who don't love reading. We learned about barriers to reading and design features they would like to see (and avoid) in literacy apps for reluctant readers. bit.ly/3wPiah8

If kids could design a social networking app for themselves & their peers, what would it look like? @azadehjamalian shares highlights from some co-design sessions conducted for the #CooneyCenterSandbox with @MrsWOfficial and @TheGIANTRoom. bit.ly/3QIyyHG

.@reg_inee says we need to consider how VR/AR tools, which rely heavily on visual processing, might work with assistive technology and might be designed to allow for multiple physical modalities

What system would I need to enable classroom full of kids to be able to use and share the headsets?
