ABSTRACT

The author of this commentary approaches this book and the space it creates as a newcomer, learning from the chapters about children’s digital worlds across the Nordic countries. From this perspective, the chapters illuminate different facets of the impact of technology and the changing relationships between children and their material worlds. The framing of this commentary draws on the nexus theory of Ron Scollon and Suzanne Wong Scollon (2004), particularly the concept of nexus of practice, which explains how the histories and expectations for people and materials in a place make up cultural ways of belonging.
