“…This neglect of the features of digital environments seems particularly evident in the studies which measure children's understanding of talking books (Donnelly, 2005; Doty, Popplewell & Byers, 2001; Lewin, 2000; Trushell & Maitland, 2005; Trushell, Burrell & Maitland, 2001; Trushell, Maitland & Burrell, 2003). Having measured comprehension through asking questions and prompting recalls of stories, all suggested that elements, such as animation and sound effects, can distract from comprehension of a story unless designed to complement the written text.…”

Division of Education and Humanities Collegiate CrescentSheffield S10 2BP c.burnett@shu.ac.uk 3Research into literacy and technology in primary classrooms: an exploration of the kinds of understandings generated by recent studies AbstractWhilst much has been written about the implications for 'literacy' for practices surrounding digital technologies (Gee, 2000a;Luke and Carrington, 2002;Snyder, 1998), there has been surprisingly little research investigating new literacies in primary classrooms (Andrews, 2003; Reinking, 2003: Lankshear andKnobel, 2003). This review examines the kinds of understandings that have been generated through studies of primary literacy and technology reported during the period 2000-2006. It uses Green's distinction between 'operational', 'cultural' and 'critical' dimensions of primary literacy (Lankshear and Bigum, 1999;Snyder, 2001) to investigate the focus and methodology of 38 empirical studies. It explores ways in which research may be informed by assumptions and practices associated with print literacy, but also highlights the kinds of studies which are beginning to investigate the implications of digital texts for primary education. The paper concludes by arguing for further ethnographic and phenomenological studies of classroom literacy practices in order to explore the complex contexts which surround and are mediated by digital texts.
