′This Handbook provides a much-needed appraisal of the current state-of-play in social science approaches to the study of digital technologiesIts scope is impressive and it offers informed, comprehensive and critical coverage of the important debates in this key field of study′ -- Bella Dicks
This handbook is a big, brave synthesis of current research in digital technologies. [...]The book is aimed at social scientists with an existing interest in digital technology research, and goes beyond the usual ‘digital/virtual/online methods’ books by engaging with the technologies themselves and not just the ways in which social scientists use them. For social scientists who are less familiar with this field, the book provides a fascinating insight into the design and workings of the digital technologies that surround us. -- Jen Tarr
This extensive, well-organized work...is not for the faint of heart. The discipline-specific content, highly sophisticated research, and germane terminology will put general readers at a disadvantage and may challenge interested professionals outside the field.... Throughout the text, scholars make projections on the future of digital technology and identify areas of weakness, and challenges and tensions that must be addressed in order to realize digital technology′s full potential.... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals. -- B.G. Turner * CHOICE *

My research interests centre around three areas of specialization: 1) Research theory and methodologies: Visual and Multimodal research and and Video-based research 2) Technology mediated teaching and learning: notably its affect on classroom practices, and subject knowledge 3) Multimodal school based research: with a focus on urban schooling, identities, policy and curriculum Recent research project areas include: the development of multimodal methods for researching digital data and environments, the effects of government technology initiatives on learning in the secondary school and the home, and the changing practices of teaching and learning in the classroom.
