Description

This book examines learning and ethnography in the context of technologies. It portrays young people's "thinking attitudes" in computer-based learning environments, and describes how the practice of ethnography is changing in a digital world. The author likens this form of interaction to "the double helix," where learning and ethnography are intertwined to tell an emergent story about partnerships with technology. Two school computer cultures were videotaped for this study. Separated not only geographically—one school on the east coast of New England and the other on Vancouver Island on the west coast of British Columbia—but also by differing ethnic makeups and urban-versus-rural settings, the two schools share a change in their cultures with the advent of intensive computer use by the students. Both communities have watched their young people gain literacy and competence, and their tools have changed from pen to computer, video camera, multimedia, and the Internet. Perhaps most striking is that the way they think of themselves as learners is that they see themselves as active participants—in the pilot's seat or director's chair—as they chart new connections between diverse and often unpredictable worlds of knowledge.
