Keynote Presentation Learning with Social Media: The Positive Potential of Peer Pressure and Messing Around Online Thursday, June 10 9:00–10:15 am Center Ballroom Today’s social media enables learners to connect with expert peers, learning resources, and online audiences. Whether it is gaming, sports, or fan fiction, kids are turning to the networked world for sources of knowledge and to engage with communities of interest. In our research, we found that social media can be a powerful driver of interest-driven, peer-based learning, but very few kids or educators were taking full advantage of this potential, particularly for academic learning. This talk will describe the key dynamics of informal and peer-based learning that are supported by today’s online environments, and how they can be applied to diverse learning goals.
Mimi Ito is a cultural anthropologist who studies new media use, particularly among young people in Japan and the US. Her research group at Keio University studies mobile technology use and recently completed a study with Peter Lyman and Michael Carter on a multi-year project on digital kids and informal learning, with support from the MacArthur Foundation. As part of this, she is doing case studies of anime fandoms in Japan and the English-speaking online world. She also edited a book for MIT Press with Daisuke Okabe and Misa Matsuda entitled Personal, Portable, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life, and her book on children’s software, Engineering Play: A Cultural History of Children’s Software was published by MIT Press and released in fall of 2009, together with the book reporting on the digital youth project, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning with New Media.
Mimi holds a doctorate in Anthropology and a doctorate in Education, both from Stanford. She has worked at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Center, the Institute for Research on Learning, Xerox PARC, Tokyo University, the National Institute for Educational Research in Japan and Apple Computer. She is an Associate Researcher for the University of California Humanities Research Institute and a Visiting Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Media and Governance, Keio University, Japan.

A Conversation on Excellence With reflections by JoanG etman, Commission Chair, NMC Commission on Standards and Excellence Facilitated by Larry Johnson and Rachel Smith, NMC Friday, June 11 9:00–10:15 am Center Ballroom
This session brings to the collective NMC membership a series of discussions that began with the NMC Board of Directors, continued with the NMC’s Campus Leaders Advisory Board (C-LAB), and then started to become something very fresh and exciting with the inaugural meeting of the NMC Commission on Standards and Excellence that was held April 2010 in San Antonio, Texas.
In that intensive, three-day series of dialogs, key campus leaders drawn from a variety of institutions and interests explored the essence of new media, teased out essential qualities of its practice and teaching, and imagined a future for the field that would place a shared understanding of what excellence means and why it matters at the center of this fleet-footed family of disciplines.
That work, which capped nearly nine months of background research and preparation on the part of the NMC Board and staff, will be the focus of our collective conversation — a conversation that we hope will eventually engage the field at large as we come together to understand what it means to think of new media as a field, what values are inherent in the practice of new media, and what excellence means in this arena.
Join us as we start that journey here, with the NMC community, and help us to break new ground, establish common points of view, discover where we may diverge, and chart some of the next steps in defining excellence in our growing field.

Keynote Presentation A New Culture of Learning Saturday, June 12 10:30–11:45 am Center Ballroom
Might new media enable us to re-imagine Dewey for the 21st Century? Might there be a new epistemology at stake in so doing? We argue yes in both cases. The Dewey part is the easy part; the epistemological stance will turn on recognizing how new media enable us to shape context, not just content.
John Seely Brown is a visiting scholar and advisor to the Provost at University of Southern California and the Independent Co-Chairman of the Deloitte’s Center for the Edge. Prior to that he was the Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and the director of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) — a position he held for nearly two decades. While head of PARC, Brown expanded the role of corporate research to include such topics as the management of radical innovation, organizational learning, complex adaptive systems, and nano/mems technologies. He was a cofounder of the Institute for Research on Learning (IRL). His personal research interests include digital media/culture, cloud computing and new forms of communication and learning.
John — or as he is often called, JSB — is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Education, a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and of AAAS and a Trustee of the MacArthur Foundation. He serves on numerous public boards (Amazon, Corning, and Varian Medical Systems) and private boards of directors. He has published over 100 papers in scientific journals and was awarded the Harvard Business Review’s 1991 McKinsey Award for his article, “Research that Reinvents the Corporation” and again in 2002 for his article “Your Next IT Strategy.” In 2004 he was inducted in the Industry Hall of Fame. With Paul Duguid he co-authored the acclaimed book The Social Life of Information (HBS Press, 2000) that has been translated into nine languages with a second edition in April 2002, and with John Hagel he co-authored the book The Only Sustainable Edge which is about new forms of collaborative innovation. He is currently working on two new books — The New Culture of Learning with Professor Doug Thomas at USC and The Power of Pull: How Small Moves, Smartly Made Can Set Big Things in Motion with John Hagel.

Rembrandt, Heist, Cold Case and Hot Web Site
Susan Walker Boston University Room J 10:30–11:45 am In 1990, two men masquerading as police officers infiltrated Boston’s Isabella Stewart gardner Museum. They absconded with renowned works by Rembrandt and Vermeer. Arrests were never made, the art never recovered. This spring, Boston University journalism students collaborated with the Boston Herald newspaper to produce a multimedia, interactive, archival website about the theft.
