- W343402308 abstract "Being a young person today means having to live in multiple worlds. As they move between home, school, and peer group, adolescents have to recalibrate their sense of what actions are appropriate, what is valued, and what is known. The conflicting forces represented in the mass media, on the street corner, and in one's immediate realm of rapid physical and social development create familiar difficulties for many young people. George Gerbner, founder of the Cultural Environment Movement http:www.cemnet.org, along with other social critics, has argued that mass media exacerbate these problems. They see the global marketing strategy of television as creating an especially damaging and alienating environment. Others have pointed to video games or online chat rooms as new dangers for young people. At the same time, many educators have seen the learning potential of the Web, multimedia, and simulations. The contrasting evaluations of new media remind us how little we actually know about what these different environments mean to adolescents, or to any of us, for that matter. What does it mean to develop and to explore social relationships with others in online environments? Can what one learns in a virtual environment apply to the real world? Can we draw a sharp line between real and virtual worlds? This month, Michelle Hinn, Kevin Leander, and I explore a unique virtual world, which was created to help educators learn more about teaching adolescents using new technologies. As the project progressed, the simple question Is this a good way to help students learn? began to expand into a host of questions about what a simulation is, how to evaluate the use of new media, and how people learn. The virtual world in question was initially only an object of study for a course for teachers called Evaluation of Information Technologies, which was designed by Michelle, Kevin, and me. But as students began to enter that virtual world and interact with it and within it, they changed it. Soon, it began to take on a life of its own, which we describe here and which we are still attempting to understand." @default.
