ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on explaining the identified shared practices across the four Investigation areas of Relationships, Health and Wellbeing, Citizenship, and Play and Pedagogy as a mode of meaning-making for people responding to the emergence of new technologies in society over time. Nineteen shared practices are described, and how these practices form a field of “action intelligibility” (Schatzki, 1996, p. 118) that support meaning-making is considered. Technological determinism as a perspective informing decision-making about young children and digital technologies is revisited, and the cultural study of technologies as an alternative perspective providing insight for decision-making regarding young children in digital society is highlighted.
