At the age of eight to nine when social awareness and self-evaluation increase, a child sees a precipitous drop in creative activity. This phenomenon known as the 'Fourth-Grade Slump' has been shown across cultures. We posit that it is ultimately a motivational problem. This dissertation research explores the potential that technology-based media may have to motivate a child to engage in creative activity throughout the Slump. It investigates affordances of technology for creation in the domain of storytelling, and proposes an approach based on the concept of micro-enactments.
