By fostering students’ interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, digital storytelling holds great promise for realizing positive impacts on student learning in language arts as well as STEM subjects. In parallel, researchers and practitioners increasingly acknowledge the importance of computational thinking in supporting K-12 students’ problem solving across subjects and grade levels, including science and elementary school. Integrating the unique affordances of digital storytelling and computational thinking offers significant potential; however, careful attention must be given to ensure students and teachers are properly supported and not overwhelmed. In this paper, we present our work on a narrative-centered learning environment that engages upper elementary students (ages 9 to 11) in computational thinking and physical science through the creation of interactive science narratives. Leveraging log data from a pilot study with 28 students using the learning environment, we analyze the narrative programs students created across multiple dimensions to better understand the nature of the resulting narratives. Furthermore, we examine automating this analysis using artificial intelligence techniques to support real-time adaptive feedback. Results indicate that the learning environment enabled students to create interactive digital stories demonstrating their understanding of physical science, computational thinking, and narrative concepts, while the automated assessment techniques showed promise for enabling real-time feedback and support.}, author={Gupta, Anisha and Smith, Andy and Vandenberg, Jessica and ElSayed, Rasha and Fox, Kimkinyona and Minogue, James and Cheuoua, Aleata Hubbard and Oliver, Kevin and Ringstaff, Cathy and Mott, Bradford}, year={2023} } @article{monahan_vandenberg_gupta_smith_elsayed_fox_cheuoua_ringstaff_minogue_oliver_et al._2023, title={Multimodal CS Education Using a Scaffolded CSCL Environment}, url={https://doi.org/10.1145/3587103.3594181}, DOI={10.1145/3587103.3594181}, abstractNote={There is a growing need for 21st-century workers to be digitally literate and to possess computational thinking and collaborative problem-solving skills.

It is organized around the following question: in what ways have scholars formed and been formed by the structural configurations of their academic domain? The article uses as a case study the academic domain of education and technology to examine this question. Its authorship approach is innovative, with a worldwide collection of academics (99 authors) collaborating to address the proposed question based on their reflections on daily social and academic practices. This collaboration followed a three-round process of contributions via email. Analysis of these scholars’ reflective accounts was carried out, and a theoretical proposition was established from this analysis. The proposition is of a mutual (yet not necessarily balanced) power (and therefore political) relationship between the human and non-human constituents of an academic realm, with the two shaping one another. One implication of this proposition is that these non-human elements exist as political ‘actors’, just like their human counterparts, having ‘agency’ – which they exercise over humans. This turns academic domains into political (functional or dysfunctional) ‘battlefields’ wherein both humans and non-humans engage in political activities and actions that form the identity of the academic domain.

To help students develop the capacity for writing across these continua, the authors recommend emerging communication tools and networks for accessing and writing to increasingly distant others, as well as emerging Web 2.0, multimedia, and research tools for capturing and writing about experiences or conceptualizing generalizations and theory. The chapter closes by noting future research directions in writing across audience and multiple modes with digital tools.}, booktitle={Handbook of Research on Digital Tools for Writing Instruction in K-12 Settings}, publisher={IGI Global}, author={Oliver, Kevin M. and Pritchard, Ruie J.}, year={2014}, month={Jun}, pages={363–385} } @inproceedings{cook_oliver_pritchard_lee_2014, place={Chesapeake, VA}, title={Using forum-based writing to learn in the English classroom: An investigation of student comprehension and collaboration}, booktitle={Proceedings of Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference 2014}, publisher={AACE}, author={Cook, M. and Oliver, K. and Pritchard, R. and Lee, S.}, editor={Searson, M. and Ochoa, M.Editors}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={1974–1979} } @article{avci_vasu_oliver_keene_fusarelli_2014, title={Utilization of online technologies in mathematical problem solving at high school level: Student and teacher perceptions}, url={http://archives.sproc.org/index.php/wjet/article/view/3164}, author={Avci, Zeynep Yurtseven and Vasu, Ellen S. and Oliver, Kevin and Keene, Karen Allen and Fusarelli, Bonnie}, year={2014} } @article{oliver_townsend_2013, title={Preparing teachers for technology integration: Programs, competencies, and factors from the literature}, volume={6}, number={3}, journal={National Teacher Education Journal}, author={Oliver, K. and Townsend, L.}, year={2013}, pages={41–60} } @article{pritchard_oliver_morrow_2013, title={Promoting Writing through Technology during Study Abroad}, volume={19}, ISSN={2327-0136 2327-266X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.18848/2327-0136/cgp/v19i03/48793}, DOI={10.18848/2327-0136/cgp/v19i03/48793}, number={3}, journal={The International Journal of Literacies}, publisher={Common Ground Research Networks}, author={Pritchard, Ruie J. and Oliver, Kevin M. and Morrow, Donna}, year={2013}, pages={201–214} } @inproceedings{oliver_pritchard_watson_2013, place={Chesapeake, VA}, title={Teachers abroad: Integrating writing and technology}, booktitle={Proceedings of Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference 2013}, publisher={AACE}, author={Oliver, K. and Pritchard, R. and Watson, T.}, editor={McBride, R. and Searson, M.Editors}, year={2013}, month={Mar}, pages={3532–3539} } @article{oliver_mollette_corn_2012, title={Administrative perspectives on the implementation of one-to-one computing}, volume={1}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Information Technology and Application in Education}, author={Oliver, K.M. and Mollette, M. and Corn, J.}, year={2012}, pages={125–142} } @article{oliver_kellogg_patel_2012, title={An Investigation into Reported Differences Between Online Foreign Language Instruction and Other Subject Areas in a Virtual School}, volume={29}, ISSN={0742-7778}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.11139/cj.29.2.269-296}, DOI={10.11139/cj.29.2.269-296}, abstractNote={High school students participating in online courses offered by the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) completed end-of-course surveys in Spring 2009.

After one year with tablets, several differences in students' technology use and skill were documented, including: higher satisfaction with school technology, greater frequency of technology use in specific subjects such as math and science, greater frequency of certain classroom activities such as two‐way communicating, and greater technology skills on competencies such as editing collaborative wikis. New modes of student collaboration were evident after implementing the tablet program, including sharing notes and co‐editing wikis. Differences were inconsistent across grade levels and subjects, suggesting teachers are adopting the tablet innovation differentially. In general, technology use increased most in math, science, and social studies classrooms, with smaller increases in language arts and foreign language classrooms. Différences d'usages et de compétences technologiques rapportées par les élèves après la mise en place de programmes informatiques individualisés La présente étude fondée sur un mélange de méthodes a duré deux années avec des enquêtes, des observations et des entretiens; elle a relevé les usages et les compétences des élèves avant et après la mise en place d'un nouveau programme d'informatique individualisée avec des ordinateurs “tablet” dans une école secondaire privée, aux Etats Unis. Après une année d'usage des “tablets”, on a noté chez les élèves plusieurs différences d'utilisation et de savoir‐faire comme par exemple: un niveau de satisfaction plus élevé par rapport à la technologie de l'établissement, une plus grande fréquence dans l'usage de la technologie pour des matières spécifiques telles que les maths et les sciences, une plus grande fréquence dans certaines activités de classe telles que la communication à double sens, et un plus grand savoir‐faire technologique pour des compétences telles que la mise en forme de wikis collaboratifs. De nouveaux modes de collaboration entre élèves sont apparus clairement après la mise en place du programme “tablet” y compris le partage de notes et la co‐édition de wikis. Il n'y avait pas de cohérence dans les différences d'une classe et d'une matière à l'autre ce qui permet de penser que les enseignants adoptent l'innovation des “tablets” de façon différenciée. En général, l'usage de la technologie a le plus augmenté dans les classes de maths, de sciences et de sciences sociales, l'augmentation étant moins forte dans les classes de lettres et de langues étrangères. Von Schülern berichtete Unterschiede in ihrer Technikanwendung nach Einführung von „One‐to‐One Computing” Diese zwei‐jährige, mit verschiedenen Methoden arbeitende Untersuchung, mit Umfragen, Beobachtungen und Interviews, dokumentiert den Technologieeinsatz und die Kompetenz von Studenten vor und nach dem Einsatz eines neuen One‐to‐One Tablett‐Computer Programms an einer privaten Mittelschule der Vereinigten Staaten. Nach einem Jahr Nutzung der Tablettrechner wurden einige Unterschiede beim Technologiegebrauch und den Fertigkeiten bei den Studenten festgestellt, einschließlich einem höheren Zufriedenheitsgrad mit der Schultechnologie, öfterer Technologieverwendung in besonderen Fächern wie Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften, höherer Nutzung von Unterrichtsaktivitäten wie wechselseitiger Kommunikation und verbesserten Fertigkeiten und Kompetenzen in der Technologienutzung, z.B. bei der gemeinsamen Bearbeitung von Wikies. Neue Formen der studentischen Zusammenarbeit wurden erkennbar, nachdem das Tablett‐Programm eingerichtet worden war. Einige Differenzen blieben – abhängig von der Anspruchshöhe und den Testpersonen – widersprüchlich, was auch auf die unterschiedliche Nutzung der Programme durch die Lehrer zurückzuführen sein kann. Im Allgemeinen wuchs die Technikverwendung am meisten in Mathematik, den Naturwissenschaften und den soziologisch orientierten Fächern, weniger den Sprach‐ und Fremdsprachenbereichen. Diferencias de uso y competencias en tecnologías relatas por los alumnos después de la introducción de la informática individualizada. Este estudio de dos años y de métodos mixtos con encuestas, observaciones y entrevistas ha apuntado el uso y las destrezas de los alumnos en relación con la tecnología antes y después de la introducción de un nuevo programa “Tablet” de informática individualizada en un colegio secundario privado de los Estados Unidos. Después de un año con los “Tablets”, se notó varias diferencias en los usos y destrezas de los alumnos en relación con la tecnología, incluyendo: más sarisfacción con la tecnología de la escuela, un uso más frecuente de la tecnología en asignaturas como matemáticas y ciencias, una frecuencia más alta de ciertas actividades de aula como la comunicación bilateral y más destrezas tecnológicas en competencias como la edición de wikis colaborativos. Nuevas formas de colaboración estudiantil aparecierón claramente después de la introducción, del programa “Tablet”, entre ellas el reparto de apuntes y la co‐edición de wikis. Las diferencias entre niveles y asignaturas resultaron inconsistentes lo que conduce a pensar que los profesores están adoptando la inovación del “Tablet” de varias maneras. En general el incremento del uso de la tecnología fue más fuerte en las aulas de matemáticas, ciencias y ciencias sociales con incrementos más bajos en aulas de Humanidades y lenguas extranjeras.}, number={3}, journal={Educational Media International}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Oliver, Kevin M. and Corn, Jeni O.}, year={2008}, month={Sep}, pages={215–229} } @inproceedings{oliver_osborne_patel_holcomb_kleiman_2008, place={Las Vegas, Nevada}, title={Teacher and student reactions to a new statewide virtual public school}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education 2008}, publisher={Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education}, author={Oliver, K. and Osborne, J. and Patel, R. and Holcomb, L. and Kleiman, G.}, editor={McFerrin, K. and Weber, R. and Carlsen, R. and Willis, D.A.Editors}, year={2008}, month={Mar}, pages={601–608} } @inproceedings{oliver_2007, place={Waynesville, NC}, title={An investigation of student thinking from concept mapping of reading material}, booktitle={Proceedings of ED-MEDIA 2007--World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia & Telecommunications}, publisher={Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education}, author={Oliver, K.}, editor={Montgomerie, C. and Seale, J.Editors}, year={2007}, month={Jun}, pages={2593–2602} } @article{oliver_2007, title={Design and development of a faculty technology practices directory}, volume={30}, number={4}, journal={Educause Quarterly}, author={Oliver, K.}, year={2007}, pages={38–47} } @inbook{oliver_2007, title={Teaching Frameworks for Context-Rich Instruction}, ISBN={9781599043340 9781599043364}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59904-334-0.ch008}, DOI={10.4018/978-1-59904-334-0.ch008}, abstractNote={This chapter proposes a category of tools called design objects that can be used by instructors to integrate existing content sources, including but not limited to learning objects, within teaching frameworks that engage learners with content in meaningful ways.

Students more frequently applied lower order tool functions (e.g., information collection) than higher order tool functions (e.g., reasoning).
