A research-based conceptual framework for inclusive K-12 online, distance, and digital education
K-12 students who were identified or at risk of being identified as having disabilities had been entering learning environments that were fully or partially online. The increase in participation of this population and the emergency circumstances during COVID-19 pandemic-related school building closures brought a need for research into what supports students in the full range of digital environments. The purpose of this article is to propose a res…

Decolonizing digital accessibility within land/water realities using minimal computing
The purpose of this essay is to conceptualize accessibility in digital education for school children through a minimal computing perspective. This perspective prioritizes the contextual, social, and relational as part of the ethic of minimal computing mantra to consider What. We. Need. To achieve our goals, we begin with a story from a classroom in rural New Mexico, then we problematize definitions of accessibility for computing in educational se…

Parents of children with special educational needs’ shared work in fully online learning
When parents enroll their children who qualify for special education services in fully online schools, that decision was an exercise of agency. Less is known about how parents understand and negotiate their agencies after enrolling. Researchers interviewed 18 parents of children with special educational needs in fully online schools in the United States. Parents described using their agencies to blur the boundaries between their bodies and their …
Making meaning with memes through a multilayered approach to visual literacies
As digital technologies increase in their capacity to generate, display, and disseminate visual materials via spaces like social media, there is a need for pedagogical practices that support meaning making with visual texts. The purpose of this paper is to present a pedagogical framework for teaching visual literacies with social media memes using a multilayered approach. The proposed layers of the framework are (1) technical construction, (2) fo…
The mothering/scholaring self: Entangled digital representations in pandemic times
The COVID-19 pandemic brought new tensions in determining how to enact representations of the professional and personal selves alongside digital technologies. In this paper, we explore those tensions as entangled enactments of agencies and identities related to simultaneous mothering and scholaring. Drawing on Barad’s agential realist framework, our work acknowledges the inseparability of being and doing in its account for how our teaching, resea…
Special Education Teachers’ Use of Technologies During the Covid-19 Era (Spring 2020—Fall 2021)
How do beginning teachers achieve their professional agency and resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic? A social-ecological approach
This study, emerging from a larger, longitudinal research project, reports about a cohort (n = 13) of beginning teachers' professional agency and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. From the social-ecological perspective, the participants perceived their professional agency as both temporal and relational phenomena by interacting within their current circumstances. The participants' professional agency focused on facilitating students' onlin…
Personalising digital learning for young children: Leveraging psychosocial identities and Techne for literacy development
Children learn literacies as social practices in context. Increasingly, these contexts include technological tools. Moreover, children engage with psychosocial identity tasks that involve more than cognitive growth. With the rapid rise in digital personalisation, there is a need to consider ways to ensure that digital technologies attend to literacies using understandings about psychosocial development. In this paper, we share ideas from Erik Eri…
Understanding Literacy and Policy from a Classroom Teacher's Perspective
We are so proud to be incoming co‐editors of the literacy policy column for JAAL. We desire to open a forum that illuminates how policy functions in contemporary settings, especially in relation to literacy teaching and learning. Our experiences as teachers, teacher educators, and literacy scholars has taught us that knowledge about policy is powerful. Such knowledge can make one feel less like a victim of politicians and policy‐makers and inspir…

‘I did not feel any passion for my teaching’: A narrative inquiry of beginning teacher attrition in China
This study conceptualises teacher attrition as a dynamic process of identity construction and interpretation in shifting professional knowledge landscapes, which attunes to both individual and contextual milieus. From this perspective, this narrative inquiry describes the attrition experiences of two Chinese beginning teachers after two years of employment in two middle schools after being prepared in the Free Teacher Education (FTE) Program. Spe…
Orienting Toward Teacher Education for Online Environments for All Students
The online environment is an expansive educational context distinct from the traditional one. We problematize the current online teacher education landscape and make recommendations for practices that prepare and support teachers as online teachers, rather than teachers who periodically use Internet resources and digital devices for instruction. Recommendations focus on personalization, collaboration, administrative support, program (re)designs, …
EFL Student Teachers’ Professional Identity Construction: A Study of Student-Generated Metaphors Before and After Student Teaching
Metaphors are powerful windows to gain insight into EFL teachers’ professional identity constructions. This study examined 33 Chinese EFL student teachers’ (STs) self-generated metaphors about teaching before and after their student teaching. Before their teaching practicum experience, they were: (a) optimistic, but had naïve perceptions about their roles, (b) worried about their inadequacy to teach professionally, and (c) anxious about their rel…

Conceptualising teachers’ advocacy as comedic trickster behaviour: Implications for teacher education
The conception of a comedic hero as a trickster functions as a useful trope for evaluating the attempts teachers make as advocates in schools. The specific elements of the trope that the authors find useful are (a) comedy as a space where the absurd mingles with the tragic; (b) resurrection or bringing forward from the dead as major plot device; and (c) the goal of societal integration. These elements of the comedic trickster trope are used to in…

Staff perceptions of the role of technology in experiential learning: A case study from an Australian university
This paper reports on a cross-disciplinary comparative study that examines the interplay between information and communications technologies (ICT) and experiential learning, in the context of seven fields of professional practice in undergraduate education. Our central claim is that academic teachers' framing of the meaning and nature of experiential learning shapes the actual and possible uses of ICT, in supporting the development of professiona…
The emergence of an online learning community in first year tertiary studies in psychology
The introduction of an online supported, resource based learning environment into a large, multi-modal first year psychology unit led to the spontaneous development of a small, but active, learning community. While off campus students were more active online contributors, many other students “observed” these interactions, not actively contributing but finding the discussion postings valuable to their learning. Overall, use and perceived value of …

Integration of students with disabilities into regular schools: Policy in use
In the state of Victoria, Australia, the right of all children to be educated in a regular school has been Ministerial policy since 1984. However, the issue of integration of students with disabilities into mainstream schools is problematical because of the ways that practitioners interpret this policy. This paper summarises research on the attitudes of 194 primary and secondary school teachers to integration and discusses how these are impacting…

V-Lab: A virtual laboratory for teaching introductory concepts and methods of physical fitness and function
The delivery of higher education courses is changing significantly with the rapid growth of new technologies which offer possibilities for learners that have previously not been available. In particular, the potential benefits of interactive multimedia (IMM) in educational environments have been well documented (see for example, Latchem et al, 1993; Laurillard, 1993; Halal and Liebowitz, 1994; Bates, 1995; Brookes, 1997; Reeves and Reeves, 1997).…
