Digital Youth Network

The Digital Youth Network (DYN) is a hybrid digital literacy program that creates opportunities for youth to engage in learning environments that span both in-school and out-of-school contexts. The DYN model combines into one learning environment the affordances of the various contexts where youth spend their time. This environment not only develops youth's new media literacies but also creates meaningful opportunities for them to use these new media literacies. It is a model for the construction of a new youth-serving institution that is bounded neither by walls nor time of day.
