Recently, TV producer and educator Kit Laybourne** was lying on his back, head first, on a staircase inside Vassar’s New England Hall, surrounded by a group of grinning middle school students.

It was “selfie” day at Vassar’s Digital Literacy Camp, a two-week experience for Poughkeepsie Middle School students who are learning how to maximize the potential of the smartphones most of them carry with them every day.

Posing for some goofy “selfies” was part of the day’s activities, and Kit Laybourne was an enthusiastic participant.

“Statistics show kids are watching screens for the better part of nine hours every day,” he said, “but they’re only doing creative stuff about 3 percent of the time. We want to show them there’s a better way to use these incredibly powerful devices.”

Thirteen-year-old Jameel Richardson said he was having a lot of fun experimenting with self-portraits. “Definitely, selfies can be art,” he said.

Laybourne, husband of Vassar Trustee Geraldine Laybourne ’69, is part of a team that also includes Vassar students, faculty and alums who hatched the idea for the camp this spring**.

KIT took part in a spring semester class at Vassar on teens’ use of smartphones taught by Sociology Prof. William Hoynes and Psychological Science Prof. Abigail Baird. Vassar alum Mary Ellen Iatropoulos ’05, director of experience at Art Effect,**** a Poughkeepsie-based arts and media organization, also attended the class and worked with Laybourne and the students and faculty from the class to develop a curriculum for the camp. (Anytime I hear the word "camp" ...)
