Abstract
The power to influence others in ever- expanding social networks in the new knowledge economy is tied to capabilities with digital media production. This chapter draws on research in elementary classrooms to examine the repertoires of crossdisciplinary knowledge that literacy learners need to produce innovative digital media via the “social web.” It focuses on the knowledge processes that occur when elementary students engage in multimodal text production with new digital media. It draws on Kalantzis and Cope’s (2008) heuristic for theorizing “Knowledge Processes” in the Learning by Design approach to pedagogy.
