It can also be multimodal, that is expressed in a variety of modes including oral, gestural, visual and somatic. Digital ‘stuff’(Miller, 2010) is particularly interesting as a mode in which to make meaning, and also, as discussed here, as a particular mode for research. The digital offers a research approach that is congruent with young people’s existing everyday practices, and therefore can be seen as opening up the process of research in line with the modal choices of young people (Rowsell, 2013). Digital technology is increasingly being utilised to facilitate the research process to the extent that a ‘computational turn’has been identified (Berry, 2011). Its potential as a research method complements a contemporary culture within which technology is both familiar, and widely available, to children and young people (Buchwald et al., 2009; Noyes 2004) and a research landscape which places emphasis on childcentred approaches (Punch, 2002).
