[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Martin Bazley Sent: 06 September 2010 08:08 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Engaging young people with social media I am doing a session at the GEM (Group for Education in Museums) conference this Thursday on 'Digital technology and young people' and thought I should get an update on current and recent projects. If you know of one, or are involved in a project involving digital technology that focuses at least partly on young people I would love to hear about it. I will post a summary of responses.
