Abstract

This short paper presents several important ethical considerations for designers and researchers working with children as technology design partners. Involving children in the design process gives them a voice in the design of technologies intended to be used by them. One important ethical consideration is to ensure there are benefits to the users – in our case that there are benefits to the children as they participate in the design process. Other ethical considerations are discussed.
