In an era shaped by generative AI, algorithmic personalization, and pervasive platformization, youth and children’s lives are more digitally mediated than ever.

In this blog, I explore how literacy and learning are evolving as children and youth engage with digital technologies across intersecting local and global networks in a rapidly shifting technological landscape.
