Digital Methods for Social Science

Abstract

Marta, an 11-year-old student, watches as Mrs Smith, her experienced language arts teacher, projects an image on the board of the digital poster creation app, Glogster.com. She walks students through the next part of their activity creating posters promoting pet welfare for a local animal shelter contest. As students upright their laptop screens and begin working, Marta dives into her class work with her friend and collaborator, with the app open on her laptop on a project that will eventually win the classroom contest.
