Goals
The significance of social interaction and players' own aesthetic valuations for children's gaming activities, with a particular focus on informal learning in both school and after-school contexts and as concerns both educational games and those intended for mere entertainment. This enables a discussion and broadening of the concept of digital literacy from a critical perspective.
