The Participation Gap — the unequal access to the opportunities, experiences, skills, and knowledge that will prepare youth for full participation in the world of tomorrow.
The Transparency Problem — The challenges young people face in learning to see clearly the ways that media shape perceptions of the world.
The Ethics Challenge — The breakdown of traditional forms of professional training and socialization that might prepare young people for their increasingly public roles as media makers and community participants.

Game Changer, Joan Ganz Cooney Center“Digital games offer a promising and untapped opportunity to leverage children’s enthusiasm and to help transform learning in America.”
“On an average day, children as young as eight spend as many hours engaged in media activity as they spend in school; three-quarters of American children play computer and video games.”
“Despite their reputation as promoters of violence and mayhem, digital games have in fact been shown to help children gain content and vital foundational and 21st-century skills.”
• Content (from rich vocabulary to science to history)
• Skills (from literacy to math to complex problem-
solving)
• Creation of artifacts(from videos to software code)
• Systems thinking(how changing one element affects relationships
as a whole)
