This blog has been created to support the 3rd James F. Ackerman Colloquium on Technology and Citizenship: Citizenship Education 2.0: New Media in a Networked World.
Participants are encourged to read and add to the blog before, during, and after the Colloquim.
The goal of the Ackerman Colloquium is to engage participants in discussions related, but not limited to: (1) the potential role of new media/Web 2.0 technology in the development of knowledge and skills required by citizens in an increasingly digital and global world, (2) the knowledge/research base on new media in K-12 social studies classrooms; (3) defining a research agenda on new media in K-12 social studies; and (4) demonstration of the application and use of new media technologies in the K-12 social studies classrooms.
The colloquium will also provide a unique opportunity to interact with a relatively small circle of scholars and researchers working in this area in order to discuss our common interests and take stock of the current state of this field of study.
The colloquium is sponsored by Purdue University's James F. Ackerman Center for Democratic Citizenship.
