What Can We Say about 112,000 Taps on a Ndjebbana Touch Screen?
Auld, Glenn
Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, v30 n1 p1-7 2002
In a remote Aboriginal Australian (Kunibidji) community, three touch-screen computers containing 96 Ndjebbana-language talking books were made available to children in informal settings. The computers' popularity is explained by the touch screens' form and the talking books' intertextual and hybrid nature. The Kunibidji are transforming their culture by including new digital technologies that represent their social practice. (Contains 37 references.) (Author/SV)
