Maryland's iSchool students, faculty and the Human Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL) are featured on the Digital Generation Project page with a video on "Kids and Adults Design New Tech Tools" on the Edutopia website.

Edutopia, A George Lucas Foundation, was created to address the issues that kids and our education system face today. According to their mission statement "No previous generation has experienced anything like the current pace of transformational societal change. Yet, in light of extraordinary advancements in how we interact with each other and the world, our system of education has been frustratingly slow to adapt."
According to the George Lucas Foundation, “The vision is of a new world of learning. A place where kids and parents, teachers and administrators, policy makers and the people they serve, all are empowered to change education for the better.”
