Digital technology and art by Jean Edwards
Digital technologies can and should contribute to and be a part of the art curriculum and teachers need to understand how these technologies have some unique qualities of their own to enhance and transform the art curriculum. This chapter considers how the available digital tools, apps and sites can support the making and viewing of art and, can also be a process and technique of their own, standing alongside drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and textiles.
Digital storytelling by Dr Helen Caldwell and Dr Emma Whewell
This chapter enables teachers to understand and define what digital storytelling means in the primary classroom and to plan for digital storytelling in their classroom drawing on appropriate pedagogy. The chapter explores a range of technologies associated with digital storytelling. Five key themes are introduced through case studies from practice, these are: working with digital media; supporting language development; using shared online spaces; looking at extended reality environments; and drama and game-based learning.
