The international authors investigate how hands-on experimentation with a variety of materials - from traditional arts and crafts to contemporary digital tools like 3D printers and laser cutters - can aid children in their development of play, creativity and storytelling. From museums to libraries, nursery schools to community centres, this research shows how `making' supports the development of creative skills and introduces concepts to be explored in a variety of environments and contexts.   Drawing on examples from around the globe, described by a range of international academics, Enhancing Digital Literacy and Creativity includes chapters on:  Virtual reality  Museum and library makerspaces  Intergenerational making in families  Making in schools and nursery settings  Assessing learning in makerspaces  Links to previous theories  Social imaginationThis book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of education and digital literacies; early childhood teacher educators and practitioners; librarians; museum educators; and makerspace staff.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56288026427765,"sku":"9780367197889","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780367197889.jpg?v=1762716844","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780367197889","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
