[Air-l] Mediappro project: young people's uses of the internet and mobile technologies

[Sue Cranmer]

Hi 

Some AoIR members may be interested in the following study: 

Between January 2005 and June 2006, universities, government ministries,
associations and foundations from 9 European countries - Belgium, Denmark,
Estonia, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal and United Kingdom –
collaborated on an applied research project for media education called
Mediappro (“media appropriation”). A similar survey was also carried out
during the same period in Quebec, Canada. 

These various institutions, specializing in media education, designed a
study
to explore how young people between the ages of 12-18, appropriate digital
media, including networks and portable media, such as the Internet, mobile
phones and video games. 

See http://www.mediappro.org/ for the final report. 

You may have seen the BBC's coverage of the Mediappro project last week. 

** School internet 'over-regulated' **
Pupils in the UK do not get enough access to the internet at school, an
Institute of Education study says.
