As digital technologies play a key role across all aspects of our
societies and in everyday life, teaching students about data is
becoming increasingly important in schools and universities around
the world. Bringing together international case studies of
innovative responses to datafication, this book sets an agenda for
how teachers, students and policy makers can best understand what
kind of educational intervention works and why. Learning to Live
with Datafication is unique in its focus on educational responses
to datafication as well as critical analysis. Through case studies
grounded in empirical research and practice, the book explores the
dimensions of datafication from diverse perspectives that bring in
a range of cultural aspects. It examines how educators
conceptualise the social implications of datafication and what is
at stake for learners and citizens as educational institutions try
to define what datafication will mean for the next generation.
Written by international leaders in this emerging field, this book
will be of interest to teacher educators, researchers and post
graduate students in education who have an interest in datafication
and data literacies.

What do young people really do with digital media? Young People's
Literacies in the Digital Age aims to debunk the common myths and
assumptions that are associated with young people's relationship
with digital media. In contrast to widespread notions of the
empowered and enabled 'digital native', the book presents a more
complex picture of young people's digital lives. Focusing on the
notion of 'critical digital literacies' this book tackles a number
of pressing questions that are often ignored in media hype and
political panics over young people's digital media use, including:
In what ways can digital media enhance, shape or constrain identity
representation and communication? How do digital experiences map
onto young people's everyday lives? What are young people's
critical understandings of digital media and how did they develop
these? What are the dominant understandings young people have of
digital media and in whose interests do they work? These questions
are addressed through the findings of a year of fieldwork with
groups of young people aged 14 to 19 years. Over the course of
eight chapters, the experiences and views of these young people are
explored with reference to various academic literatures, such as
digital literacies, media and communication studies, critical
theory and youth studies. Starting with their early socialisation
into the digital context, the book traces the continuities,
contradictions and conflicts they encounter as part of their
practices. Written in a detailed but accessible manner, this book
develops a unique perspective on young people's digital lives.
