YS 606 - Youth Identity and Digital Environments (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: YS 600   and YS 610  
This course explores the numerous considerations for youth practitioners about the practical affordances and drawbacks of “virtual” life. As the lines between what is virtual and what is real blur, digital life must inform youth practitioners’ decision-making. Topics covered will include: What is the digital ecosystem that youth traverse and how might that ecosystem change the reality of their experience? How does the digital world influence the cultivation of identity? How do learning and youth development organizations respond to virtual environments through relevant programming?
