The web-based survey was accessed via a password-protected link on the
project
website to ensure that only those young people at the schools surveyed
completed the
questionnaire.
The questionnaire began by identifying the digital technologies located
in students’ homes, establishing where they were situated, how often they were used, what activities they mediated, when they were used, and how their usage was
monitored.
The questionnaire then explored computer usage at school, identifying when
computers were introduced, how often they were used, where they were
located, what
they were used for, and how their usage was regulated. The use of other
personal
digital technologies at school was also explored.
The questionnaire went on to consider activities undertaken in the
community – beyond school and home – to explore the extent to which
digital technologies are influencing social and cultural
practices, and leisure-time activities. The questionnaire concluded with
the collection
of demographic data which might influence the ability to engage in the
use of digital
technologies, in other words, issues of access and equity.
