I have an article in the most recent issue of The Educational Forum. Like this post, it is titled “Trust and Mobile Media Use in Schools.” The article is a part of a special issue focused on New Literacies. The article can be found here.

Abstract:

This article shares findings from a year-long study about social practices of high school youth with mobile devices during school time. In particular, this study found that students see their school time as fluidly social and academic. Educators and policy-makers need to carefully consider these social practices when preparing 21st century youth for engaging with technology in responsible and meaningful ways beyond their time in school.
