Students Needed for Mobile Stories Fall 2011!
Calling all students! Fall is upon us! Why not spend your afternoons learning to become a youth citizen journalist?
MEDIA ARTS Center San Diego, in partnership with the San Diego Public Library, presents Mobile Stories Fall 2011!
SIGN UP by visiting http://www.mobilestories.org! Mobile Stories is a FREE after-school program for students that uses the popularity of mobile phone technology to connect local youth (ages 9-14 years old) with the extensive resources available at their local library in a format that is both current and easily accessible. The library recognizes the ubiquity of cell phone technology, the need for under-represented teens to express their voices regarding news and events in their neighborhoods, and Mobile Stories’ potential to connect youth and their interests and needs with the information and resources of the library.
