The current technological context suggests the possibility of a connection between home and school, increasing parents' involvement in their children's development while expanding the possibilities of ubiquitous, connected, and participatory learning.

My Phd project in Digital Media - Meaningful Technology - Towards a participatory and ecological framework for the design of educational technology- conducted under the supervision of Bruno Giesteira and Luciano Moreira will support the study of how technology can engage teachers, family, and friends to improve students’ digital literacy. Research will focus on the use of pervasive technologies in education and their relationship with the student’s multidimensional social context, supported by the theory of human development.

For the next years, with the support a FCT scholarship, I expected that the work carried out will contribute with a framework to the design of pervasive technologies that supports students’ learning and development through multidimensional context of use.
