ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how the spatial aspects of classroom activities reveal hybrid patterns and relations between heterogeneous actors. It also shows the importance of understanding to what extent contemporary classroom spatialities are tied to digital devices, sociomaterial networks and the infrastructure that make mobile technologies work. Sociomaterial approaches allow for disentangling the construction of various classrooms in a symmetrical vein, thereby focusing on different spatialities that are enacted in and through the various relations being established between human and nonhuman actors. A prime characteristic of sociomaterial approaches is that actors are not considered in isolation, but rather in view of the relations they establish with one another. The sociomaterial and sociotopological studies of space have found new grounds of exploration with the introduction of information and communication technologies to educational settings. The cyberspaces can spatially reconfigure the forms of knowing, sociality and subjectivity enacted through educational encounters.
