Abstract

The study investigated the use of technology by Myanmar refugee families to support their children. Thirty families participated in a survey, which included demographic information, technology types, and their use. Level 1 analysis was used to organize and index answers, while theming and code weaving were used to understand the technology used and how it was used with children. Results showed that all but one family used technology for educational purposes, with supervision from parents or adults, indicating cultural capital around technology.
