  • The Digital Media and Learning Competition, Now in Its Second Year
    Supported by Administered by The Digital Media and Learning Competition, now in its second year, is an annual effort designed to find — and to inspire — the most novel uses of new media in support of learning. In April 2009, the Competition awarded $2 million to individuals, for-profit companies, universities, and community organizations for projects that employ games, mobile phone applications, virtual worlds, social networks, wikis, and video blogs to explore how digital technologies are changing the way that people learn and participate in daily life. To broaden the search for innovative ideas, this year’s Competition was expanded to include international submissions and proposals from young people aged 18-25. The 19 winning projects are those that best engaged the theme of “participatory learning,” or the ways in which new technologies enable learners to contribute in diverse ways to individual and shared learning experiences. The Competition is supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and administered by the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory (HASTAC). Winners of the Competition were drawn from two categories: Playpower is helping people create educational 8-bit games. Innovation in Participatory Learning ($30,000 to $250,000) Photo credit: Derek Lomas. Artist: Daniel Rehn and Young Innovators ($5,000 to $30,000). Innovation awards support projects that demonstrate new modes of participatory young people aged 18-25 to think boldly about “what comes learning, in which people take part in virtual communities, next” in participatory learning and to contribute to making it share ideas, comment on one another’s projects, and advance happen — will aid recipients in bringing their most visionary goals together.

  • The Block at Orange Orange, California

  • Or, a Prehistory of Interactive Television1
    The society of the Spectacle is dead: Long live the society of the Carnival; or, a Prehistory of Interactive Television1 by Alison McMahan, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Daniel Dayan’s and Elihu Katz’s theory of spectacle, ceremony and festival levels of engagement is here applied to the various types of interactive television, from choice and time-shift types, to hyperserials (as defined by Janet Murray in Hamlet on the Holodeck) to the kind of interactive television where viewer/players can alter the content. The closest we have right now to this festival-approach to interactive television are graphic online MUDs such as Ultima Online and massive multiplayer games. Console boxes, the first of which was the Sega Dreamcast, offer a festival model of interactive televisual engagement along with a low-cost convergence of television, internet and computer. If we accept that multiplayer console games are a model for the interactive television of the future, we can then start defining an aesthetics of interactive television based on computer games. KEY WORDS Interactive television, computer games, videogames, console boxes, hyperserial, spectacle, ceremony, festival. The idea I wish to explore in this paper is that Game Consoles, among which the Sega Dreamcast was the first to include Internet access and on-line games, are the first true form of interactive television. If we accept this hypothesis then we can look at a variety of other phenomena, from web casting to reality TV to computer games, as precursors to interactive television that have been remediated in the form of interactive television we have now.

  • 2010 Music for All National Festival Program Book
    presented by March 4-6, 2010 Indianapolis, Indiana Programs of Music for All Greetings from the President & CEO March 4, 2010 Greetings, Welcome to Indianapolis and the 2010 Music for All National Festival, presented by Yamaha. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this premier event, recognized as the epitome of music festivals, and to congratulate you for being recognized as one of the finest school music programs in America. 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of Music for All’s Bands of America and my 26th L. Scott McCormick year as the executive director of the organization. For the past 34 years, we have been able to provide positively life-changing experiences to over 1.25 million young people and educators. Today, more than ever, I am encouraged by what lies on the horizon and at the same time looking at current challenges that we have not previously experienced. Today, we have greater evidence than we have ever had about the impact that music and the arts have on preparing our young people for the new creative society. And yet we face more and more schools looking at budget cuts that, unfortunately, too often look at the wrong places to cut. It is time to grow the largest community of advocates in our history. With the army of alumni that this organization has, we all need to reach out to engage each of our respective school’s alumni and come together with a single message. If you read this, like so many parents and teachers have in the past, and say, these budget cuts and issues will not affect our program, I know of several nationally recognized music programs’ parents and teachers who were of the same opinion a year ago.
