“…The age range 13-18 was important to us because the purpose of this review is to understand what is known about the social media practices of adolescents ages 13-18, so we might further research to better support students and teachers in secondary education. We had to cut a substantial number of articles from both the education technology and literacy because the research included participants over 18 in their study (see literacy: Saal & Gómez, 2020;Tucker-Raymond et al, 2017;and educational technology: Moekotte et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2021).…”

“…Because of this, social media users and their posts are amplified when others interact with a post (e.g., viral content). To this end, social media is somewhat designed to reward the most sharable content (Sherman et al, 2016), which may not always be entirely truthful. Viral content on social media often elicits an emotional response (Berger, 2011), regardless of the accuracy of information conveyed.…”

The information literacy practices of adolescents on social media outside of school are worth considering, since adolescents use social media near ubiquitously and must grapple with all types of content they encounter incidentally or intentionally. This scoping review followed the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) to examine the extent and nature of scholarship on this topic from the perspective of educational technology and literacy scholarship, as both fields are uniquely poised to collaborate on this interdisciplinary topic. Surprisingly, only four articles fit the scope of our review. The literature found, and not found, revealed several themes. These themes were the imprecise use of keywords across scholarship, use of social media for community support, exposure to incidental information, evidence for different literacy practices on social media, and the need for addressing social media information literacy in school. Opportunities for future work and collaborative research between both fields is also discussed.

“…Moreover, technology has added an element of innovation and creative thinking to extend the library's main purpose from information dissemination to creating library challenges and competitions. This ecological reciprocal network of subject/actor, object/multimodal text and the resulting innovation/creative content (Miettinen, 1999;Saal and G omez, 2020) is the understanding of the modern bio-network library that we hope to define and explore in this study.…”

Purpose This study aimed to understand how parents and librarians describe their lived experiences in a modern children’s library that aims to create a triad bond through the organization of multiliteracy events and activities. Design/methodology/approach The study used a phenomenological case study approach using two semistructured interviews, the first with parents (n = 5) and the second with library staff (n = 5), to record their lived experiences in creating and attending literacy events and activities. Findings The findings indicated multiplicities of transformative and heterotypic spaces that juxtapose different yet compatible and vicarious experiences for librarians, parents and their children. The virtual and interactive features of the library fuel children’s curiosity and creativity and afford them authentic materials through a creative blend of local heritage and technology-mediated multimodal literacies. Moreover, the librarians engage in constant program evaluation and upgrades. The library environment creates a vibrant bio-network for disseminating literacy through creativity and ingenuity and affords an affinity space for community socialization. Research limitations/implications This study has some limitations and delimitations. The data for this study were collected during the pandemic, which affected the sample size. Moreover, the children’s views were not considered, which could broaden our understanding of the phenomena. Furthermore, the study relied on interviews as the sole source of data; other sources, such as archival data and documents, could enrich the data and increase the study’s rigor. Finally, the study is confined to only one site. Practical implications The study found that a “living library” philosophy with an enthusiastic and attentive staff that caters to patrons’ interests draws parents and children to visit. Additionally, unexpected fun activities that occur when sufficient children are present keep them engaged and motivated to stay and learn more. The study suggests that librarians, architects, school leaders, policymakers and educators should consider how to conceptualize, design and experience a modern library space that prioritizes literacy activities and incorporates technology to inspire children’s innovations. The findings can be applied to both public and academic libraries. Originality/value The findings from this study could provide researchers, teachers, administrators, librarians and artificial intelligence with a viable orientation to envision new ways of reconceptualizing public and school libraries to create affinity spaces for the literate community, especially in a non-western context such as the United Arab Emirates.

Photography has been a tool for visual expression for almost two centuries. If owning a camera was a privilege in the past, technological development in the 21st century has made the camera a standard tool used as a means of everyday life interpersonal communication. While the verbal communication (spoken language) can vary among individuals, groups and cultures, the visual language functions as a common denominator among most cultures, allowing the expression of personal world emotionally and cognitively. This form of visual language can be used to bridge students from different cultures that yet did not understand or even tried to get to know each other, and even improve learning skills and wellbeing. This theoretical article presents and discusses photography as a tool used by education systems concerning the Photovoice model, an immersive learning method that promotes active-real-world problem solving, shows unique virtues in the interdisciplinary aspect, and advances student-driven teams and high-impact learning experiences. Also, we argue that by using the Photovoice model, one can influence personal development and change, the experience of success, long-term memory, relationship skills, academic skills, problem-solving, and well-being. All these variables facilitate psycho-emotional changes allowing the participants to speak out, share knowledge and ideas and learn from each other by using pictures. The article aims to emphasize an educational model that uses the photographic tool to take advantage of educational aspects that are currently available to almost everyone and can contribute to meaningful learning and better communication between students, contributing to a positive learning environment.
