Definition

Expressive digitial media are Computational, Information and Communication Technologies designed to produce something. In that sense, this word can almost mean anything ....

In education:

  • expressive digial media refer to "learning with" (such as exploratory software) - as opposed to "learning through".
  • can be described a synonym of cognitive tool or microworld, under the condition that they encourage constructionist learning activities.

Teachers and expressive media

The expressive, communicative and productive potential of interactive digital media is the essence for defining innovative educational practice around new media (Kynigos).

'Expressive digitial media enable the teacher to receive and deliver more curriculum, leaving them completely out of upgrading the quality of their work and empowering them with expressive media which they may appropriate themselves and design contexts for empowering their students in the same ways. (Kynigos)
