@cherylraegonza The shift to creatively expressing ideas visually is fun and engaging. It goes back to the idea of "if you cannot explain it, you don't know it." I have never made a digital zine, but I can imagine it is entertaining. #edu800fall22
@AdamsCmu I agree! Representation helps students relate and feel seen, valued. Sounds like one of the better professional development programs out there. #edu800fall22
@Jenn_Mosley2022 Agreed. It is more enjoyable to have conversations with students during class to check for comprehension, it also creates better relationships. #edu800fall22
Teachers need to engage with new literacies too. The best teachers always are involved and familiar with what their students like. #Knobel#edu800fall22
Exploratory experimentation breeds creativity. How can teachers incorporate more exploration into the classroom, especially at the secondary level? #Knobel#edu800fall22
Online interactions confirm that school should not be one-size-fits-all; different perspectives and skills create a richer experience. #Knobel#edu800fall22
@PersingNicole I think there are generational shifts due to music, global pop culture phenomenons, etc. Regionally, even concepts such as pop vs. soda. Perhaps this is a conversation about New Literacies vs. new literacies! #LeuandForzani#edu800fall22
"English is becoming a world language." The subcultural differences and mashing of two languages, such as Konglish or Spanglish, is a new spoken literacy in the 21st century. #Mills#edu800fall22
The pandemic really dismissed the question regarding"when and how are new literacies most appropriately integrated into classroom life?" Might be something to revisit in a decade? #Leuandforzani#edu800fall22
#Mills#edu800fall22 Teachers are generally not the tech experts in a classroom. How can we bridge the gap in tech literacy between teachers of different generations? #digitalnative
#Coiro#edu800fall22 Inferential reasoning in middle school students relies on looking for title clues before looking in-depth at online text. Is this a shift in literacy for printed text too?
Comprehension of hypertext requires different skills than print. Building on Coiro, navigating literacies defines how we encounter, perceive & respond to texts, images,songs, etc. #Coiro#Campbellandparr2013#edu800fall22
