My research is situated in educational practice and focus on 1) how digital technologies co-produce pedagogical and didactical processes and 2) developing technology comprehension and computational thinking as an educational subject and practice. Over the past years, I have been developing designs for learning that explicitly incorporate the body, the senses, materials/technologies, and space to create playful learning environments. I am particularly interested in the potential for digital empowerment and inclusion of all children when working with innovative digital learning environments such as playlab, learning laboratories and maker spaces. Also, my research is grounded in an ambition of producing knowledge to the benefit of school practice.
