Mimi Ito – Research Director of the Digital Media and Learning Hub, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Chair in Digital Media and Learning – chats with us about the research origins of Connected Learning, and the need for a focus on equity. “At a certain point in my research, I realized that it was only a particular minority of kids who were technologically privileged or highly resourceful & motivated who were taking to these opportunities. That was what led me from a model of interest-driven learning to saying ‘We have to do more to bring more kids into this opportunity space’.”
