Telling Our Story: Using Digital Scrapbooks to Celebrate Cultural Capital
Clarice M. Moran
International Journal of Designs for Learning, v7 n3 p88-94 2016
This design was intended to act as a template for technology integration for preservice teachers in an English language arts class. However, the unintended result was a celebration of cultural heritage and increased classroom community. Through the project, 23 preservice teachers used online tools to design digital scrapbook pages that reflected family ancestry and life histories. Participants from diverse ethnic backgrounds celebrated their unique names and cultural capital.
