Abstract | Creating multimodal and digital texts is an essential part of the national English curriculum. In this article, a literacy educator presents five practical and engaging ways to adapt conventional writing tasks for a digital world. Literacy skills and resources that students bring to school differ markedly from the past, as they participate in screen-based digital cultures that are distant from the classroom in time and space. How can teachers integrate essential writing tasks with the digital spaces that many students today inhabit? This is particularly important for teachers in Australia because the national English curriculum requires that students from the foundation years to the end of secondary schooling 'Use a range of software ... to create, edit and publish written and multimodal texts'. This article provides five teaching tips to guide innovative and research-based digital practices in the writing classroom, which are aligned with the 'Literacy' strand of the national English curriculum (and the subcategory 'Creating texts'). A useful pedagogical sequence for teaching digital text creation is discussed to enable teachers to embed multimodal textual practices within the English curriculum. |
