The first session of the Winter School is lead by @lucipangrazio on young people's literacies in the digital age.

'Technology is not a neutral tool for social practices by young people' - @lucipangrazio on the importance of taking into consideration the social but also the technical context when studying young people's digital literacies.

One key challenge for further research on young people's digital literacies is the polarization of the debate, particularly among adults.

'Finsta' or fake Instagram accounts is one example to understand the experiences of young people within and through social media platforms and technologies in terms of Identity, representation, participation.

'We need participatory #research that supports teachers, parents and other adults to develop young people's digital literacies but also that informs and speaks back to policymakers' - @lucipangrazio

Andres Lombana is talking now about access and opportunities for young people in the digital age.

Andres Lombana (@vVvA) fellow @BKCHarvard @YouthandMedia presenting an ethnographic study in the US that revealed the #DigitalDivide: young people HAVE access to technology but the quality of access is not the same (broken devices, slow connections, etc.).

#EdTechUy #EdTech

Knowledge exchange strategies such as tech labs or meet&greet sessions can help disadvantaged children and young people to expand their capital (social + cultural + economic), close the #DigitalDivide and combat #SocialSegregation.

#EdTechUy #EdTech #DigitalChild #DigitalRights

Question from the audience "Are we asking too much for technology (platforms, tools, resources) to address social problems such as exclusion or inequality?"

@vVvA reply "Technology is not neutral and we must think in terms of digital equity to come up with solutions"
