Abstract

This article addresses how ELA teacher education can integrate an emergent technology like Digital Video (DV) into existing curriculum, in particular, focusing on the compositional aspects of DV. It addresses how DV can be contextualised within its ELA tradition and briefly speaks to why DV works in the classroom. Two examples of integrating DV in ELA teacher education - pre-service and professional development - are provided. The article concludes with issues teachers need to consider in order to be able to successfully navigate the transition between print and DV literacies: access to training, time, and curricular and technical support.
