This case study introduces a two-year process in which a fourth grade teacher working with a library media specialist experienced a successful integration of digital and media literacy practices. During that time the fourth grade teacher adopted a less protectionist approach by having her students explore different multimedia production projects to enhance their learning in social studies. This book chapter introduces the process of both the fourth grade teacher as she explored new instructional strategies to incorporate media production and the Common Core State Standards and the library media specialist as a support team member. The standards index and its media production application can help educators integrate media production into their classrooms. This case study can help promote media production activities as they foster 21st century skills in elementary students.

This chapter describes the experiences of a first grade teacher who was classified as gifted and talented during her school years. Currently, she teaches classes with a diverse group of students (e.g., English language learners, gifted and talented students). Adopting a qualitative case study method, the authors conducted an in-depth interview with the teacher and share her story related to how her giftedness affects and enhances her professional work as an educator. Further, this chapter illustrates the teacher's story related to her personal interactions and relationships. Finally, based on the literature, implications for other educators who are gifted and talented are discussed.

This article explores how critical pedagogy unfolds in the everyday interactions between teachers and students. Specifically, Freirean constructs of critique and dialogue were explored in two key literacy events drawn from an ethnographically informed case study of one fourth-grade classroom. The events were first examined from an ethnographic perspective to understand how sociopolitical issue(s) were being critiqued (or avoided). These events were then analyzed again through microanalytic discourse analysis to explore how teachers and students jointly accomplished dialogue and critique through proposing and taking up of particular stances toward text(s). By juxtaposing these two analytic lenses, the researchers argue for an understanding of critical pedagogy, particularly the tenets of critique and dialogue, as interactionally co-constructed in the continually evolving, everyday talk between teachers and students. This article closes by considering the implications of this work for classroom-based literacy research that examines critical pedagogy.

Dissatisfied with the outcomes of teacher-directed mathematics pedagogy, this fourth-grade teacher learns of—and begins to implement—student-centered, problem-solving mathematics in her classroom.

This study aims to produce sparkol videoscribe-based animated video learning media, to determine the feasibility of sparkol videoscribe-based animated video learning media and to determine the effectiveness of using Sparkol videoscribe-based animated video learning media on Theme 7 Sub-theme 2 Grade IV Students of SD Negeri 030355 Parratusan. This research and development was carried out using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) with the research subjects being fourth grade students of SD Negeri 030355 Parratusan. The results of this development research are appropriate and effective learning media to use. The final result by a material expert is 95% or in the “Very Eligible” category. Furthermore, the final result from the media expert is 100% included in the "Very feasible" category, then the results obtained from the fourth grade teacher are 97% and are included in the "very Eligible" category and at the time of product testing the average score obtained from students is 94 %. Then based on the results of the pretest and posttest obtained an increase in student learning outcomes with the achievement of KKM. Keywords: Development, Learning Media, Video Animation, Sparkol Videoscribe.
