Abstract

In this research, action-narrative inquiry was utilized to examine the integration of information technology within a primary educational setting. The study focused on the utilization of the Planets of Tomorrow educational platform by a teacher in her instructional practices. It examined the strategies employed to introduce students to the platform and the techniques used to enhance their reading and writing proficiencies. The study was conducted at an elementary school in northern Taiwan, with one teacher and 28 first-grade students. The educational environment was elucidated through four dialogue dimensions: internal dialogues, dialogues with the platform development team, dialogues with parents of students, and dialogues with the research team. Examination of the data revealed a three-phase process of technology integration and provided recommendations for future research efforts on integrating technology into Chinese language learning.
