Abstract The use of electronic media plays an important part in the life of youth and especially Internet and mobile phones are important in the social and cultural networks of youth. The first step of this thesis is to examine the ICT-based activities of upper secondary school students through an online survey. The second step is to examine what didactic implications can be derived from the ICT-based activities in the subject of Swedish. Results from this survey and national and international research show that young people spend the majority of their leisure time on the Internet. The result also shows that media activities displace other school related activities such as traditional reading and writing. The findings point out the importance for teachers to adapt to student’s media experiences and to use them in the classroom. They also point out the importance of teachers’ conceptions of the subject Swedish for classroom work and how to make students involved in their studies.
