3 Things Learned
1. In the 21st century literacy has taken on another meaning, and that is technological literacy. Being versed in the ways of an increasingly technological society. Incorporating this has brought new meanings and ways to teach to the language arts field.
2. With the expansion of communications through new technologies, the classroom is no longer the only place where learning takes place. This expansion has added a social aspect that teachers and students can capitalize on, whether it is in communicating with schools across the world or in helping fellow students after school has ended.
3. Video projects can motivate students to do well and to write. Students can have an avenue outside of writing only, and see their projects produced and made into a video that they can work on and be proud about.
2 Connections
1. Digital storytelling can expand upon the multi-genre paper, where students use genres outside of the writing process to make a project and be creative in relaying what they know.
2. Concept mapping software can be extremely helpful when attempting to start a new writing project, and can help students in the pre-writing part of the writing process.
1 Question
1. With constant advances in technology, how do I make a decision on what the best technologies are to use in integrating them into the language arts classroom?
