Children as Active Agents: Game Players, Curriculum Designers, Actors of Violence, and Digital Curators

Fri, April 8, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Exhibit Hall D Section B

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

These papers highlight possibilities in the complex everyday lives of young children. Offering a glimpse into children’s play, the presenters ask us to consider the impacts of using digital games as a means of facilitating spontaneous play, of offering curriculum children desire, of undermining the needs of children to make sense of violence, and of curating cartoon artworks and (re)appropriating signs to make meaning of digital stories.
