Sociomaterial entanglement in one-to-one computing classrooms: exploring patterns of relations in teaching practices

Although many studies have investigated teaching in one-to-one computing classrooms, not many have considered the material dimension as equally important to the human dimension. Thus, by using a sociomaterial perspective, we aim to broaden the discussion about emergent teaching practices in Nordic c...
