In September 2007 I was invited by the Arts and Humanities Research Council UK to present my work on Platform Futures at a European conference on the use of technologies in humanities research in Tallinn, Estonia. The conference explored how new technologies are being incorporated into the work of humanities scholars and discussed the impact and implications of this.

I presented at a PhD poster session summarizing the main aims and objectives of my research. I explained that the research deals with learning not just with or through media technologies as a tool, but in terms of critical learning about media as a form of representation particularly in relation to young people. I also emphasized the importance of engaging young people as participants in the research process.
