First Blog - Woop! Because transliteracy is the ability to read, write, and basically communicate and even interact through multiple mediums, this whole sketch noting thang is a very interesting option! I have honestly only begun to understand transliteracy and how to incorporate it into my daily teaching methods. In the many years I have taught, it has been thoughtful and full of love, but perhaps not the finest delivery. OK, surely, not the best 21st century 4 C's kind of stuff. I LUV what I do but I have been stuck in just trying to get all the content out, keep kids engaged, and not drown in masses of paperwork (Hello, special ed).
Student engagement is of course essential and transliteracy can be a large key in unlocking the drudgery of everyday common core content. When lessons are delivered in various mediums, such as through the internet, showing videos - having students CREATE videos to show their knowledge, blogs, art, television, chapter books, the list goes on. The lesson I want to learn is how to better incorporate something like having my students collaborate through a particular medium such as Google Slides, or Padlet. Sketchnoting is a whole new idea and uh, it's been around for EVER, like since caveman times, but it now seems to have a whole new, bright sensibility. I really enjoyed expressing my journey with action research via sketchnoting. It is a new way to show what you know!!
