This book is about how children, young people, and new digital media interact. It is divided into four sections: Play and Gaming, The Internet, Identities and Communities Online, and Learning and Education. Each section has a variety of different researchers who have written about the topic.
Computer games, the Internet, and other new communications media are often seen to pose threats and dangers to young people, but they also provide new opportunities for creativity and self-determination. As we start to look beyond the immediate hopes and fears that new technologies often provoke, there is a growing need for in-depth empirical research.

The book is organizedaround four key themes: Play and Gaming, The Internet, Identities and Communities Online, and Learning and Education. The book brings together researchers from a range of academic disciplines - including media and cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology and education - and will be of interest to a wide readership of researchers, students, practitioners in digital media, and educators.
