Abstract:

"Young people's use of digital media may result in various innovations and unexpected outcomes, from the use of video game technologies to create films to the effect of home digital media on family life. This volume examines the core issues that arise when digital media use results in unintended learning experiences and unanticipated social encounters. The contributors examine the complex mix of emergent practices and developments online and elsewhere that empower young users to function as drivers of technological change, recognizing that these new technologies are embedded in larger social systems - school, family, friends."--BOOK JACKET.
