Literature on narrative study reveals that this kind of writing is an appropriate method to make connections that transform our knowledge as teachers. It is by examining the stories of individual teachers in the context of their environments, digital or otherwise, that we can gain insight into the professional expertise of teachers. Connelly and Clandinin (1990) state that “the central value of narrative inquiry is its quality as subject matter. Narrative and life go together and so the principal attraction of narrative as a method is its capacity to render life experiences, both personal and social, in relevant and meaningful ways” (p. 10). Bullough & Pinnegar (2001) state that “writing about teacher education practice may be best expressed in story form, where linearity gives way to a different sense of time, where emotion drives action” (p. 18). As such, the teaching strategy of digital moments allows the emotion to drive the learning and puts the students squarely at the centre of the process. Ultimately, the critical question of how pedagogy is transformed to an online learning environment is an evolving story which can be brought forward into a public discourse through sharing of digital moments.
