This comprehensive book delves into the transformative power of technology in fostering interactions between children, their peers, teachers, and other adults. It presents the groundbreaking Co-EnACT framework, which elucidates how technology can empower children to collaborate, thereby enhancing their learning and engagement with the world, both in work and play. While the focus is primarily on children, the principles of supporting interaction apply across all life stages. Chapters on classrooms and autism shed light on utilizing technology to promote rather than hinder social interaction in diverse populations. Collaborative interaction encompasses both verbal and non-verbal behavior, and this book offers evidence derived from meticulous analysis of children's natural behavior. Cutting-edge technology examples serve as illustrations of principles that can be applied to more widely accessible technology.

The book appeals to a wide range of professionals, including psychologists, educators, researchers in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), particularly those focused on designing with children in mind, and practitioners who work with children seeking to deepen their understanding of technology-enabled collaboration. By exploring the multifaceted ways in which technology can foster meaningful interactions, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the role of technology in shaping the future of education and human development.
