Under the conditions of the spread of the society of information a computer has become not only a tool of work but also a means of free time and communication as well as a part of the home which is changing the way of people’s activities and their traditional life. Children are active participants of this society, integrating not only into its creation but also into its understanding. Children themselves create computer culture in tune to the historic time in which they live. That is why their culture is postmodern, less normative and systemic.Despite quite a large amount of research of children’s computer activities, there is a lack of attention paid to children’s computer culture as a whole as a socio-cultural, educational phenomenon of modern society. In educational research the problem of children’s computer culture is often researched in only one way, attributing the most importance to the question of computer literacy and the provision of computers in schools. Cultural peculiarities are often identified only according to one exceptional feature – children‘s playtime computer activities. The problem of the research – the context of the educational discourse of children’s computer culture as a phenomenon of the modern society of information, which can be theoretically based and empirically investigated by applying qualitative and quantitative research, the design of which has been fine-tuned, and the theory of the construction of social reality.
