Abstract

One component of cooperative inquiry partners children and adults in the design of new technology. An ethnomethodological perspective will be used to analyze existing ethnographies of children as design partners. This analysis will generate questions about how inventing and prototyping activities are organized and accomplished. These questions can inform future ethnographies of children as design partners, and may also inform future partnered design activities.
