Overview

As more children are using computers at a younger age, it is necessary to understand how we can support their interactions for optimal experiences and learning. This book examines computer experiences of children living with their parents in the home setting. Robinson adds exceptional insight into how children become literate in a technological society and offers necessary tools for researchers and academics to understand how young children interact with computers both at home and in a school setting.

Reviews

A Choice Outstanding Book of 2009 The book is essential for anyone studying literacy or looking for suggestions on curricular inclusion of computer literacy. Quantitative and qualitative researchers will find this book valuable for the design and execution of the study. Robinson's text is incisive and most immediately complementary to scholarship in education, English, psychology, sociology and information science... Highly recommended. --L.H. Taylor Jr., Choice (2009), Vol. 46, No. 11 Emergent Computer Literacy is an admirably concise study with a number of important implications for future research on children and computer literacy in the information age . The book will enlighten both researchers and parents alike and ask them to reconsider the development of their children and their assimilation into a technologically driven society. I recommend this book to researchers and also parents as an important starting point to consider the role of the new digital literacies affecting children's education around the world. --Jeremy White, International Journal of Emerging Technologies and Society ( 2009), Vol. 7, No. 2
