6. Digital technology and ethnographic research
Abstract
Drawing primarily on the work of Frederick Erickson and Erving Goffman, this article studies the nature of digital ethnography and its implicationsfor educational research. The framework thus used acknowledges that to integrate digital culture into an analogical world while also reducingsocio-educational inequalities, researchers must look at how education is assimilating digital tools. The main goals of this article are to develop a socialand educational sensibility for digital culture and its benefi ts, and to expand the critical-refl exive thinking of researchers, educators, and students. In theprocess, this paper may contribute to both an understanding of knowledge advancement in ethnography and the formulation of new research andteaching pedagogies involving digital technologies.Downloads
