  Youth Media Exchange Final Project Report
Submitted By:   DeepEndZen
Author Name:  TakingITGlobal
Published:  2008-12-19
Website:  http://www.tigweb.org/files/about/Youth-Media-Exchange-Final-Report.pdf
  Description:   Youth Media Exchange (ymex.org) is a social network that enables youth to exchange and discuss digital media on global issues that they create, or that exists elsewhere on the web. The ymex.org web site was created by TakingITGlobal and Global Kids, in collaboration with Asia Society, to educate and empower young people around the world to become creative producers and critical consumers of digital media about global issues through a social networking environment that provides directed learning activities. The project aims were based on five research questions: 1. How are young people currently using and thinking about social networking and digital media? 2. How can social networks be designed for learning across social and cultural boundaries? 3. How do young people develop media literacy in the process of learning? 4. How can youth-produced media best educate and engage a broad audience of global citizens? 5. How can partner organizations develop best practices for social networks? Over the course of this project, these research questions have evolved based on what we have learned. This final report will focus on the adapted research questions and is designed to share our findings and unique contribution to the field of digital media and learning. It is imperative to keep in mind this report is written from the perspectives of practitioners, not academics, and is not intended for publication or considered an academic exercise, but rather an insight into our learning process.
