This article addresses the relationship between new technologies, students' multimodal designing, and the social production of classroom spaces. Multimodal semiotics and sociological principles are applied to a series of claymation movie-making lessons in an upper primary school in Australia. The analysis focuses on the social meanings embedded in the multimodal spaces of the classroom-dialogic, bodily, embodied, architectonic, and screen spaces. The findings demonstrate how the uses of new technologies and the students' multimodal learning were tied to important transformations of space.architectonicbodilyclassroomdesigndialogicdigitalembodiedlinguisticmultimodalscreensemioticssocial spacespacetechnologyJournal article2-s2.0-77649193255Published as green open accessControlledOpen
