Research on (young) children's conceptions of computers, coding, and the internet?
Dear all,
I'm looking for research literature about young children's conceptions of coding, computers, and the internet. Via searches to various databases I have found some interesting reading (see the list below), but any additional reading (especially about children's conceptions of the internet) is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pekka

I am actually just writing an article on children's experiences in Käsityökoulu Robotti.
I am happy to announce that the paper I sought this information for has been accepted for publication in International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction. Pre-print version of the article can be found via the link below:
