The document discusses research on the interactive media practices of youth. It identifies four categories of users - traditionalists, gamers, networkers, and producers - which represent diversity in how youth engage with interactive media. The research found that intensive interactive media use does not necessarily equal skilled use. The document concludes that education should focus less on what technology to use and more on connecting to students' diverse experiences, skills, and preferences when addressing specific learning problems.
