This report, part  of the GoodPlay Project, undertaken by researchers at  Harvard Graduate School of Education's Project Zero,  investigates the ethical fault lines of such digital  pursuits. The authors argue that five key issues are at  stake in the new media: identity, privacy, ownership and  authorship, credibility, and participation. Drawing on  evidence from informant interviews, emerging scholarship on  new media, and theoretical insights from psychology,  sociology, political science, and cultural studies, the  report explores the ways in which youth may be redefining  these concepts as they engage with new digital media. The  authors propose a model of "good play" that involves the  unique affordances of the new digital media; related  technical and new media literacies; cognitive and moral  development and values; online and offline peer culture;  and ethical supports, including the absence or presence of  adult mentors and relevant educational curricula. This  proposed model for ethical play sets the stage for the next  part of the GoodPlay project, an empirical study that will  invite young people to share their stories of engagement  with the new digital media.The John D. and Catherine T.
