Promoting Multidisciplinary Digital Learning: A Design-Based Approach to Creating Teacher and Student Support Materials

• In Event: TED - Design-Based and Collaborative Approaches to the Development of Digital Resources

Short Description

This session shares our iterative design process for the creation of support materials for a narrative-centered learning environment that integrates science, computational thinking (CT), and digital storytelling. Our design process is feedback-driven and prompted by observations and interviews with elementary teachers and students. Attendees will experience a live demonstration of the environment and discussion on the transition from paper-based support materials to embedded supports that foster multidisciplinary learning through digital storytelling.
