> Impact of Digital Media, a special 2-day, live online event to be
> held October 24-25, 2006 entirely via the Internet, are being
> solicited through Wednesday, October 4, 2006.

> Join keynoters Howard Rheingold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
> Howard_Rheingold), author of SmartMobs (http://www.smartmobs.com/
> book/index.html), among many other books and articles, and danah
> boyd, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danah_Boyd), noted researcher
> and speaker on social networking, for this 2-day examination of the
> impact of digital media on all aspects of our daily lives.
>
> Digital media, for this event, is interpreted broadly as anything
> from the traditional uses of the medium for creating and sharing
> rich content to the explosion of blogs for self expression, and
> increasingly, real time interpretation of news and breaking
> events. Also included is the notion of shared content via sites
> like Flickr, YouTube, and blip.tv, social sites like FaceBook and
> MySpace, and more powerful content and media search tools.
>
> This online conference is informed by the MacArthur Foundation
> Series on Digital Media and Learning, a two-year project in which
> the NMC is helping to explore the impact of digital media on our
> lives in a variety of ways, and encouraging dialog among experts,
> visionaries, and thought leaders from around the globe. This
> unique event will expand that dialog beyond the project and reach
> out to an international audience.
>
> The singular focus of the Online Conference on the Impact of
> Digital Media, part of the NMC's Series of Online Conferences, is
> to consider how these applications are changing our lives, and how
> they have impacted they ways we work, learn, collaborate, and even
> socialize.
>
> The conference is designed to extend the examination of this
> phenomenon now underway among leading writers and researchers in
> the MacArthur-sponsored project to a broader audience, and further
> explore both the positive and negative aspects of technology on
> learning, social interaction, self-expression, and more.
>
> The conference will be conducted entirely online. Sessions, which
> will be conducted live, can incorporate a variety of visuals and
> rich media, and are generally about 45 minutes in length, with
> about half that time devoted to dialog with participants using
> voice over IP. See http://www.nmc.org/events/2006fall_online_conf/
> for full details.
>
> Proposals are encouraged on the impact of digital media in any of
> the following areas, but this list is not exhaustive and selections
> will not be limited to these categories:
> Identity and self-image
> Credibility and the reliability of Information
> Civic and social involvement
> The arts, creativity, and design
> Social networking
> Pedagogical potentials and implications
> Proposals may be submitted online at http://www.nmc.org/events/
> 2006fall_online_conf/proposals.shtml
>
> This event is the eighth in the ongoing series of specially focused
> online gatherings that explore new ideas and issues related to
> technology and learning. The NMC Series of Online Conferences is
> itself an exploration of emerging forms of collaboration and tools,
> and this particular conference will focus on ways in which the
> conference sessions can each be highly interactive, in real time.
>
> Additional information about the conference can be found at http://

> Please circulate this announcement to anyone that may be interested
> in participating. A second and final post will be made here when
