Presented by: Laura Sloyan
The session would comprise of a presentation and Q&A on the PhD research I am conducting in DCU (under the supervision of Dr. Yvonne Crotty). Using an Educational Entrepreneurial Approach (EEA) to Action research I am creating a curriculum and accompanying online CPD course for post-primary English teachers based on my own experience of using online animation software (PowToon) to tell stories digitally. The research explores how the use of such digital technologies can help redress inequalities for both students and teachers.
