Digital media and tools provide nearly ubiquitous access to information and communication in ways that are transforming learning and potentially responding to these new demands. This talk will review Seann’s and other’s research identifying learning practices using digital tools, and the work of Games + Learning + Society and GamingMatter to investigate, design, and study digital interactions, simulations, gaming media, augmented reality, and other digital tools for learning.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
