ABSTRACT

Fruitful research into children’s digital literacy needs to reveal new knowledge about the push and pull between pedagogy and digital cultures in children’s and young people’s lives. This chapter references recent research projects that have employed digital media production and engaged with young people’s popular media cultures with a view to exploring children’s digital literacy. It addresses aspects of learning in formal and informal settings and interrogates contemporary thinking about the ways in which the digital age impacts upon the definition of literacy itself.
