Goals

"This study focuses on literacy events in situ where children create digital narratives with images as a starting point. The study is guided by the questions of how the technology, the teacher’s scaffolding and other contextual resources mediate the storymaking activity, and what constitutes the different approximations of a narrative genre the children’s stories exemplify. Phrased differently, we aim to empirically clarify the relation between the unfolding activities and the final digital products." (Authors, 173)
