Part of what I love about Layla is how Tiffany refutes temptation to call it a program. From what I've learned so far, it's not just a program, it's not just a technology, it's what emerges when the right people organize around a challenge that's existed for too long. It's not about the tech, it is about where we reach out in life when a little knowledge can change our entire life's course. It's about how we can help each other, and how technology can enhance a community's ecosystem as it lifts itself into what wisdom it feels necessary to achieve all it sees possible for new generations.

🎙 NYC Partners Codify Pathway To Video Game Professions 🎙 **Stakeholders from institutions across NYC share the details and celebrate a new youth-forward exhibit at Harlem Gallery of Science on
A nascent program in NYC aims to build formal pathways from high school programs to careers in the growing video game economy. Marc joins the gathering to celebrate one of partners' latest achievements in Harlem, a youth-driven exhibition that celebrates the role of video games in the lives of young people, challenging negative tropes about being an enemy to positive growth and development. Special thanks to Harlem Gallery of Science, without whose support the exhibit would not be possible and host, Harlem School of the Arts (HSA).
Video Games: The Great Connector, explores how young people leverage video games, emphasizing less what games do to youth than what youth do with games.

Gaming Pathways is guided by an Educational Advisory Board, which includes many of NYC's leading AAA and indie games companies.

What's with the ice cream truck in the logo? In the 80's, Richard E. Clark at University of Southern California set off a pretty epic debate based on his statement that "media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in nutrition." * So, the ice cream truck, it's a nod to Richard Clark, who frequently rings in my ear when I'm tempted to take things at face value. "Is it the method, or the medium?" I wonder.
The title, No Such Thing, has a few meanings. Mostly, it emphasizes the importance of hard questions as we develop and document the narrative of "education" in the US. For Richard E. Clark, the question is whether there's such a thing as learning from new technologies. For others, it might be whether there's a panacea for the challenges we face in this field. Whatever your question, I hope that it reminds you to keep asking--yourself, your learners, others--what's working and how so.
* Clark, R. E. (1983) Reconsidering Research on Learning From Media. Review of Educational Resarch 53(4) 445-459.
