Shared Spaces:
Informal Learning and Digital Cultures

As schools and families increasingly equip themselves with digital technology, the ways children play, learn and are taught are bound to change. In contrast with the formal space of schools, many children’s experiences of the digital world take place in informal settings such as libraries, homes, or community centres. This project looks at a range of learning situations involving digital technology and asks how educators can engage with children’s informal knowledge and learning of digital cultures.
