Creativity and digitization of poems for learning to read and write: design and analysis in the initial training of teachers

Abstract

This article shows the results of a work experience with teachers in initial training whose objectives are the following: the creation of digitization of children's poems to facilitate the learning of literacy in the educational stage of Early Childhood Education and work on its implementation in a classroom of this educational stage. The digitizations created stand out for having diverse multimedia resources, hypertexts and means of interaction through a digital whiteboard. Regarding the implementation of digitalizations with Early Childhood Education learners, which have been discussed based on three categories of analysis (activities carried out in the classroom; the role adopted by the teacher in initial training, as well as the Early Childhood Education student; and the materials to carry out the digitization), the active role of the teacher in the development of classroom activities is observed, as well as of the students, who interact with the digitized text from, fundamentally, the possibilities that offers the digital whiteboard. All this allows us to affirm that the teacher in initial training must work on creative and critical thinking in order to create strategies, such as those analyzed in this research, that help their future students to acquire each of the components of literacy. The digitization of poems and their subsequent work in the classroom are, without a doubt, means that help to achieve this objective of teaching and learning.
