Abstract
Digital technology is central to the maker movement. However, the current field of education technology maintains an unquestioned dependence on technology [6]. This paper aims at exploring the affordances that different kinds of technologies have on collaborative interactions among students in grades 3-6, within a design based learning environment. We analyzed patterns of interaction among the student groups and conducted microanalysis within a group at different time points as they shifted technologies. We found that different technologies facilitate different kinds of interactions. Pervasive digital technologies led to less personal interactions.
