DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the importance of recognising and i
 nterrogating multiplicity when researching interactions through and around
  texts. We present ‘stacking stories’ of children's engagement with a 
 virtual world accessed in a classroom\, taken from different perspectives 
 on what happened as children traversed virtual and physical sites. We expl
 ore how easy assumptions about children's meaning-making are problematised
  as the stories articulate with each other in complex ways\, and how this 
 use of stacking stories has led us to draw on Deleuze’s ideas of the bar
 oque (1992) when investigating classroom literacies\, to suggest a nuanced
  interpretation of on/offline meaning-making that acknowledges fluidity an
 d instability and also ‘a strong phenomenological realness’ (Kwa\, 200
 2:26).\n\n*Pre-session reading:* Deleuze\, G. (1992). _The Fold: Leibniz a
