I am very very very pleased to announce that the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning is now out in the world and ready for your affection. The purpose of the series is to “examine the effect of digital media tools on how people learn, network, communicate, and play, and how growing up with these tools may affect a person’s sense of self, how they express themselves, and their ability to learn, exercise judgment, and think systematically.”
This is great on many levels, but I’m most excited that all of the books are available for free download. Simply browse to the series’ page at the MIT Press website, and you can download the chapters. Kudos to the authors and the MacArthur Foundation for freeing this great content.
