Mixed play spaces: Augmenting digital storytelling with tactile objects (2018)
Journal Article
Glowacki, B. R. (2018). Mixed play spaces: Augmenting digital storytelling with tactile objects. InterActions, 25(2), 58-63. https://doi.org/10.1145/3178556

Young children tend to use mobile devices for solitary media consumption, yet they develop through social interactions. The presence of tangible objects in Bear Abouts invited imaginative play in a triangulation between device and child, and between...

Bear Abouts: Sharing stories across the physical and digital (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Glowacki, B. R. (2017, June). Bear Abouts: Sharing stories across the physical and digital. Poster presented at IDC 2017, California, USA

We have developed an interactive storytelling platform for mobile devices that encourages children to engage in story creation across both digital and physical spaces. In our pilot study we have found that when using Bear Abouts, children engage in o... Read More about Bear Abouts: Sharing stories across the physical and digital.
