Abstract
Two studies were conducted to facilitate the development of feasible support for the
process of integrating digital video making activities in the primary school language
arts curriculum. The first study explored which teaching supports would be necessary
to enable primary school children to create digital video as a means of fostering
communications skills. A pupil workbook was determined to be the most appropriate
solution, and a draft workbook was piloted. The second study evaluated how well the
learner workbook, when combined with a teacher guide and an introductory
workshop, contributed to supporting the process of digital video making for the
purpose of fostering message design competencies. This article describes motives for
linking video making to the language arts curriculum, as well as how those ideas and
the study data informed the development of the primary means of support - the pupil
workbook.
