Digital Literacies in the Primary Classrooms

Designed for pre-service and in-service teacher education students across the College who are interested in multimodal literacy and technology. Aims to strengthen teachers’ understandings of children’s multiple ways of meaning making and tap their digital literacy toolkits in everyday teaching. Through both theoretical exploration and rich hands-on experience (e.g., digital storytelling), this course will orient teachers to a variety of digital literacy tools and the pedagogical implications of using those tools in their own classrooms. This will involve: (1) exploring and re-imagining literacy-and-technology teaching practices; (2) expanding teachers’ literacy repertoires by learning to implement digital resources in their classrooms; and (3) continuing to construct teachers’ professional beliefs and identities as literacy educators. Requires a minimum of fifteen (15) fieldwork hours.
