NLS scholars regard literacy as a set of social practices that are observable in events mediated by written texts and have informed numerous studies that explore issues of affordance and agency in relation to digital and multimodal practices. The study lies at the intersection of social semiotic multimodal theory (SSMT) and new literacy studies (NLS). In relation to these themes, this paper discusses how iPads and apps offer possibilities for writers, as well as presenting challenges and limitations for them. This paper presents how affordances of iPads and apps facilitate the writing process, enhance co-creation and sharing of texts, and help shape multimodal representations in studentsʼ writing. The analyses of 42 student essays and questionnaires yielded three categories that contribute inherently to the description of writing with iPads: functionality, interaction, and multimodality. A written assignment was designed to inquire into studentsʼ perceptions of creating texts using iPads. This paper examines the reported capabilities of iPads and writing-specific apps used in writing activities in a Norwegian elementary classroom. Digital technologies have the potential to shift literacy practices, as the act of writing involves great semiotic and technological complexity. ![]()
