Educating for Democracy in the Digital Age Grades: 6-12: Social media is transforming the ways that democracy is practiced – especially for youth. Drawing on a national study of youth civic and political engagement, this presentation examines the opportunities and risks these changes create. It also highlights ways that educators can respond – highlighting findings and insights from a district-wide initiative in Oakland that is now in its third year. Ellen Middaugh, Ph.D. Senior Researcher Civic Engagement Research Group, Mills College __________ For more information on the ongoing works of President Reagan's Foundation, please visit http://www.reaganfoundation.org
