Scratch: education and engagement at MIT
An experiment in youth engagement from JD Lasica on Vimeo.
At the MIT Media Lab recently I interviewed Karen A. Brennan of the wonderfully named Lifelong Kindergarten program (description of programs here) about an MIT project called Scratch.
In this 3-minute video she tells how youth personal engagement translates into adult civic engagement, bringing the parents, students and teachers together to see how the students were able to construct their own storytelling narratives rather than engage in what the researchers had expected at the outset: acts of citizen journalism.
Alas, the video is underlit, since I was using a Samsung SC-HMX10 HD camcorder that doesn't allow for lighting attachments.
Watch the video in MPEG-4 on Ourmedia (or download it)
