[Air-L] High school students' use of ICT for communication about schoolwork

[Van Cleemput Katrien]

Dear AIR members, 

 

A small part of my Phd research will be about high school students'
'spontaneous'* use of ICT to talk to other students about school (e.g.
compare assignments through e-mail, work on group tasks through IM, send
text messages to provide emotional

support etc..). I am however experiencing some difficulties with finding
literature on this specific topic. It seems like quite some research has
been done on teacher-teacher use of ICT and teacher-student use of ICT,
but less on student-student use of

ICT? 

 

It would be very helpful if someone could suggest some interesting
articles/books to get me started.    

 

Thank you
