Abstract
This paper reports exploratory work that investigates inter-generational collaboration between students and teachers in a digitized version of the maker movement. The work is supported by the US National Science Foundation, the US State Department’s Fulbright Research Program, and partnering education ministries and NGOs. The core feature of digital media-making entails the use of pen-based tablet computers to create videos for teaching science and mathematics concepts in alignment with state and national curriculum. Results were visible along several dimensions: (1) Learners exhibited a high affective valence and enthusiasm for media-making with their teachers; (2) Important relational shifts occurred and were reported by both teachers and students; and (3) Students and teachers alike engaged in cognitive re-imagining and re-imaging of one another’s roles and of subject matter.
