Event details
This talk is about an ESRC-funded research project called ‘Shape’ (Shaping the future of educational technologies today: from prototypes to practice). We adopted a methodology for the co-creation of evidence-based practices for innovative technology enhanced learning in special and mainstream schools. We worked with teachers, and students with autism, to create digital stories that developed and revealed important pedagogical practices.
Digital stories can be a powerful method for developing and evidencing technology-enhanced learning in the classroom. However, there is a ‘continuum of readiness’ for knowledge co-construction amongst different schools and teachers.
The use of digital stories as a method is feasible and potentially powerful but requires substantial commitment (from schools and researchers) to be most effective.
