Lyn Cronin is a researcher and teacher in early childhood in the School of Education. Lyn’s area of expertise is in literacy and in transition to school. This began with her PhD, which examined young children’s experiences with literacy as they transition from prior to school educational settings into the first year of formal schooling. Lyn's research career focuses on investigating early learning, particularly on exploring pedagogies of play in supporting young children’s language and literacy development.\r\nLyn's research has expanded to other areas and encompasses the exploration of technology practices as young people make major transitions between life phases, school and post school contexts. Lyn's most recent research project, funded by an Early Career Research Grant is undertaken with colleagues and aims to capture the complexity of young people's technology practice as they transition from secondary school to further study, work or other everyday life contexts and encompasses individual and contextual factors that shape technology practices across this period and; practices that that support students' transition to their new contexts.
