@BeBurks13 I think at the youngest age. Children are the most natural facilitators of collaboration ever.

@JeniferBen6 Most people who bash fanfiction are not willing to look past the fact that it's based on something else to see that it could be worth reading IF you like the subject. If they don't like the subject, then obviously they are going to automatically dismiss the fanfiction.

@SManacek hmm. "Reading not only improves your brain's connectivity, it also increases attention spans, focus and concentration. If you struggle to focus, reading can improve your attention span." #strugglingtofocusisablondeproblem

@JeniferBen6 @elaroom101 That is why learners MUST be taught to look at information through a critical lens.

@JeniferBen6 And it's really amazing how adults use emojis in a totally different way that young adults do .... almost like we don't speak the same language. Here's are some perfect examples:

@BeBurks13 @stinaspeech It's a shame that some instructors have to resort to "teaching for the test" methods. As we all know, the "test" is not a proof of knowledge.

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

@SManacek It's hard to imagine. Are we even capable of showing emotion these days without emojis? That is the questions......

@BeBurks13 @JeniferBen6 Living overseas seems to bring out the American in me. My students love the insights that I provide them of American culture and past -times

#edu800spring20 critical literacy does not necessarily involve taking a negative stance, ..looking at an issue or topic in different ways, analyzing it and hopefully being able to suggest possibilities for change(Vasquez). Students need to learn to use their "critical lenses."

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 In the modern world, language is not the only important communication system. Today, images, artifacts, and many other visual symbols have gained in significance. (Vasquez) Children have adjusted their lenses and now we need to as well.

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 just-in-time approach to learning contrasts with schools and their tendency to “push” a broad range of content at students for abstract, “just-in-case” purposes (Hagel & Brown, 2005). We need to move away from "just-in-case" learning and focus on a NOW approach.

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 "skills are understood as “co-ordinated sets of actions,” practices as “socially developed and patterned ways of using technology and knowledge to accomplish tasks" (Scribner & Cole, 1981). Think about this and ponder the possibilities for student autonomy.

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 It's important to "maximize the lenses we use and the technologies and contexts we study." (Leu and Forzani, 2012) This will allow us to achieve a more balanced and global viewpoint

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 The Internet is this generation’s defining technology for literacy and learning within our global community. (Leu and Forzani 2012) We need to learn to adapt and advance WITH the times and not against them

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 Creative production of digital media. In new literacies there is a cultural shift from consumption of new media to creative production of the same (Buckingham, 2007). Allowing students to become the "creaters" is an unmeasureable advantage for our future.

#edu800spring20 Chandler-Olcott + Mahar (2003)an adolescent engaged in self-directed learning in the process of constructing Web pages filled with fanfictions, applying and deepening her sophisticated technical knowledge. This is how new technologies "engage" today's learners.

[sara carlesimo @sacarles]

#edu800spring20 some argue that new Internet technologies have produced a dizzying array of possibilities for intertextual and multimodal connections (Caney, 1999) #importanceofselfregulation
