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
