The article presents four recurring themes which children used to understand and describe their engagement with computers in school, broadly grouped into: the speed and ease of work-processes when using computers; the extending or curtailing of learners' abilities when use computers; freedoms and restrictions of the finished product when using computer and, finally, concerns over originality and authenticity whenUsing computers.
