Role of peer scaffolding in developing preschool children’s multiliteracy practices through the use of iPads

Activity: Talk or presentationPresentation

Description

This presentation will explore the findings from a four-month qualitative intrinsic case study that examined preschool children’s multiliteracy and technology practices as they engaged in puppet and dinosaur inquiry projects. In addition to providing examples of teacher scaffolding techniques that supported the children’s use of iPads and creation of multimodal texts, this presentation will focus specifically on instances of peer scaffolding such as cooperation with more capable or equally capable peers on literacy tasks that required knowledge and skills to utilize iPads.
