Abstract

ABSTRACT Developing digital literacy skills is essential for 21st century learning, working and living. Emerging mobile technologies provide affordances that can be leveraged to advance these skills in a school educational setting. Digital literacy in the context of this paper encompasses media literacy, visual literacy, technology tools literacy and traditional literacy. This paper reports on a project designed to evaluate the development of digital literacy skills through digital storytelling with mobile technology tools (iPads and relevant apps). This approach involves primary school students conducting research, collecting and analysing data, and presenting their findings in the format of a digital story. The participating students planned, developed and presented their digital stories in a way that showcased their research skills, designs thinking and digital literacy skills. Results suggested that digital storytelling with mobile technologies contributes to the development of students’ digital literacy skills by enabling them to (a) access information at anytime and anywhere, (b) test their assumptions and reflect on their thinking, (c) represent and share their ideas and solutions to problems, and (d) receive feedback from peers and teachers.

通过移动设备讲故事，培养学生的数字素养

培养数字素养技能对于21世纪的学习、工作和生活至关重要。新兴的移动技术提供了可用于在学校教育环境中提高这些技能的支持。本文所讨论的数字素养包括媒介素养、视觉素养、技术工具素养和传统素养。本文报告了一个项目，该项目旨在通过使用移动技术工具(ipad和相关应用程序)进行数字叙事来评估数字扫盲技能的发展。这种方法涉及小学生进行研究，收集和分析数据，并以数字故事的形式展示他们的发现。参与活动的学生计划、发展并展示了他们的数字故事，展示了他们的研究技能、设计思维和数字素养。结果表明，利用移动技术进行数字叙事有助于学生数字素养技能的发展，使他们能够(a)随时随地获取信息，(b)测试他们的假设并反思他们的思维，(c)表达和分享他们的想法和问题的解决方案，以及(d)从同龄人和老师那里获得反馈。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
