ISBN-13: 9789811587269 Publisher: Springer Nature Singapore Publication date: 11/28/2020 Series: Studies in Singapore Education: Research, Innovation & Practice , #1 Edition description: 1st ed. 2020 Pages: 226 Product dimensions: 6.10(w) x 9.25(h) x (d) This book is an exposition of a curriculum innovation within the complex yet fertile ground of school-based education in Singapore. Beyond straightforward descriptions and prools, this book purposefully connects classroom practices with theories in a clear, uncomplicated way. The result provides a series of rationales for action, reflection and understanding that other publications in digital storytelling sometimes fail to cover or explain in sufficient detail. Broadly, these include digital multimodal authorship; teachers’ and students’ storytelling task design and assessment; the use of digital storytelling as a reflective and reflexive expression of teachers’ professionalism; and dialogism in classroom practice.
