ABSTRACT

This article utilizes the term “digital authoring” in order to explore the ways in which children create multi-modal, digital media texts. Drawing on the notion of “emergent literacy” we share vignettes from different pedagogical and research contexts where children use media to tell stories in different forms with different technologies. These accounts demonstrate the value to children of opportunities to make volitional choices about the mode, media, and form of their own texts. We reflect on moments of authoring in our vignettes which provide insights into the intrinsic pedagogic affordances of cultural practices such as vlogging and video diaries situated as they are, in wider socio-cultural practices. In doing so, we draw on the notion of “playful tinkering” as a key pedagogical approach which recognizes the value of children’s volitional engagements with digital media, to their emerging skills and dispositions as authors of digital media texts.

摘要

本文使用“数字创作”一词来探讨儿童创建多模式数字媒体文本的方式。借鉴“紧急扫盲”的概念，我们分享了来自不同教学和研究环境的短篇小说，在这些环境中，儿童使用媒体以不同的技术讲故事。这些说明向孩子们展示了自愿选择自己的文本的方式，媒体和形式的机会对孩子的价值。我们在小插曲中反思创作的时刻，这些小插曲提供了对文化实践的内在教学能力的见解，例如在更广泛的社会文化实践中，视频博客和视频日记本就这样存在。在这样做，
