Vikki Katz investigates how parents and children in low-income and immigrant families make decisions about adopting technology and how they use digital devices, the Internet, and social media together and independently for formal and informal learning activities. She’s currently completing a Gates Foundation-funded study on this topic that involved in-depth interviews with 170 families in 3 states, and a national survey of 1,200 low-income parents. She’s also developing new proposals for funding that will investigate how local community factors influence immigrant families’ experiences of digital inequality.
