N2 - 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. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).
