Text Messaging Programs to Support Family Literacy Practices
Using bulk digital text messaging has been shown to be effective in many different fields such as health program interventions and supporting parents/carers. Evaluations of these interventions indicate positive changes in practice; however, it appears the potential of digital messaging through short message services (SMS) have not been fully taken advantage of in early childhood education. This scoping review using Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) ap…

“No, they’re not digital natives and they’re not addicted”
Internet Addiction
Internet addiction refers to what is considered to be abnormal, problematic, or overuse of the Internet. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was first published in 1998, and much quantitative research validating the test continues to be published that reinforces the belief that heavy Internet use is abnormal and that dependence on the Internet constitutes a negative addiction. Since 1998, the increase in digital consumption, including online gaming…
An Initial Investigation into Parental Perceptions Surrounding the Impact of Mobile Media Use on Child Behavior and Executive Functioning
Children demonstrate increasing early engagement with mobile media facilitated by its portability and interactivity. Parents are known to employ a range of mediation strategies for mobile media use but continue to have limited awareness about the impact of mobile media on their child’s executive functioning. Mobile media use has previously been shown to be negatively correlated with the executive functioning development of a child; however, littl…
Positive family relationships in a digital age
This study focused on young people's perspectives about family relationships and how they can be strengthened or weakened through digital media practices. Located in Melbourne, Australia, 20 participants aged between 13 and 17 years were interviewed about how digital devices and practices shaped the way they interacted with family. The thematic analysis points to the young people's commitment to family cohesion. This was demonstrated through resp…
Temporal digital control
Screen time once referred to television. Nowadays, it includes various screen sizes that are internet-enabled devices, and the pervasive smartphone. Regardless of what kind of screen is used, screen time comprises much of life itself. Being online and offline is now fairly blurred because of the ubiquitousness of technologies, Wi-Fi and screens. This paper puts forth the notion of 'temporal digital control' to explain the choice of when and why s…
Internet Addiction
Internet addiction refers to what is considered to be abnormal, problematic, heavy, or overuse of the Internet. The significant increase in digital consumption, including online gaming and gambling has been widely researched since the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was published in 1998. Despite increased digital consumption, including online gaming and gambling, the IAT continues to be utilized with few modifications. There has been much quantita…
High-tech, hard work
This paper explores the ways in which digital technologies are now implicated in the work – and specifically the labour – of school teachers. Drawing upon qualitative studies in two Australian high schools, the paper examines the variety of ways in which teachers’ work is now enacted and experienced along digital lines. In particular, the paper highlights the association of digital technologies with the standardization, evidencing, intensificatio…
Everyday Schooling in the Digital Age
Today's high schools are increasingly based around the use of digital technologies. Students and teachers are encouraged to 'Bring Your Own Device', teaching takes place through 'learning management systems' and educators are rushing to implement innovations such as flipped classrooms, personalized learning, analytics and 'maker' technologies. Yet despite these developments, the core processes of school appear to have altered little over the past…
Internet addiction? Temporality and life online in the networked society
Recent literature has explored the processes of global change associated with the social relations, technologies, and economies of time, as well as the move from clock time to event time and network time. Others have focused on the 'presence bleed' evident in technologically-mediated work. A harried pace of life is exacerbated in what Judy Wajcman calls an 'acceleration society'. She points to how technologies can change the nature of current pra…
Symbolic instruments and the Internet mediation of knowledge and expertise
In this article, I demonstrate how Bourdieu's notion of symbolic instruments, that is structured and structuring structures (Bourdieu 1991 Bourdieu, P. 1991. G. Raymond and M. Adamson, Language and Symbolic Power. Cambridge: Polity Press. [Google Scholar]), can be applied to the Internet to demonstrate the mediation and construction of knowledge and validation of expertise. This qualitative, pilot study explored the online language and interrelat…
The Teenage Expertise Network (TEN)
The take-up of digital technology by young people is a well-known phenomenon and has been subject to socio-cultural analysis in areas such as youth studies and cultural studies. The Teenage Expertise Network (TEN) research project investigates how teenagers develop technological expertise in techno-cultural contexts via the use of a purposefully designed, youth-friendly, online environment – significant in this current age of Internet-mediated le…
Contesting Binaries
Historically, the positioning of technology and expertise has been an antithesis to girls and women. Much literature has focused on understanding and responding to the perceived differences between boys' and girls' access to, use of, and understanding of various forms of technology. In a recent qualitative study I conducted, eight teenaged technological experts (three of whom were girls) were observed and interviewed about their use of home compu…

The Multiplicities of Internet Addiction
The Multiplicities of Internet Addiction contests the claim that computers - specifically Internet use - are addictive, arguing that the use of the Internet is now a form of everyday leisure engaged in by many people in Western society and one which is reflective of the benefits and employment of computers within society. Offering an analysis of the nature of addiction alongside the evaluation of the current day usage of computers, this volume ex…
