Being Participatory Through the Use of App-Based Research Tools

In this chapter we focus on the use of technological, app-based, digital tools in supporting social scientific, participatory research with children and young people. Over the last few years, particularly with the global experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, this has further prompted the use of creative digital tools to facilitate data collection with children and young people. In this chapter we look at their advantages, pitfalls, ethical issues and practical implementation.
