As part of the workshop we collected research interests, topic and other interesting content into a bunch of post it notes. After grouping them in topics, it was given as a task to collect them in one presentation and analyze them further.
The presentation is now attached here, further work still continues to understand them deeper.

We are happy to announce that Gitte Stald, an associate professor in Digital cultures and mobile communication research group at the IT University of Copenhagen, has accepted our invitation to be a keynote speaker in the MobileCHI 2011 workshop.
Her background is extensively in adolescents’ digital media culture and mobile media. She has also participated in the EU Kids Online-research project. I’m extremely interested to hear Gitte’s thoughts on this topic and also comments to workshop papers.

Our workshop proposal “Mobile Family Interaction: How to use mobile technology to bring trust, safety and wellbeing into families” was accepted to MobileCHI 2011, a conference specializing in human-computer interfaces with mobile devices and services.
In this workshop, we welcome multiple approaches to start to explore this domain. We particularly welcome the following approaches:
* Empirical studies of preteen use of mobile technology, including use for communication among friends and family. Empirical analysis of themes, opportunities, coping strategies and mediation is also welcomed.
* Case studies of campaigns and other efforts to improve media literacy skills, and child-child and child-adult mediation, with particular emphasis on the development of best practices, as well as theoretical work on topics such as child-child or child-adult mediation.
* Presentations of innovative solutions and concepts that improve family life and child empowerment. The solutions will likely include mobile aspects, but may include also other media sources, such as the Web.
This is a cross-disciplinary workshop, and as such we explicitly invite contributions from a range of disciplines, including anthropology and ethnography, sociology, education, design studies, social sciences, science and technology studies and computer science. We also welcome contributions from non-academic organizations, such as corporations and both governmental and non-governmental organizations
The call for papers is out there, and more information is going to follow later on.
On behalf of the organizers,
Matti & Jofish
