Update

We held a meeting of the UK group a few weeks ago and shared progress on the pilot projects. We have agreed to write up the projects and place them on the Critical Literacies project site in November. Meanwhile, you can find out about some of the exciting work undertaken by one of the teachers here.

Two of the teachers involved in the Australian projects, Helen Grant and Catherine Walsh, took part in a a teacher-researcher project funded by the Spencer Foundation - 'Invesitagating identity and power relations'. Details about this facinating project are located here.

Finally, this story offers a salutory reminder about the need to continue to challenge reductive discourses about children and young people's engagement with new media. Roll on the project!
