Hi guys,
Is there anyone still using this site for shared info? I haven't been on for a long time but I wanted to share with you a new blog/webpage/wiki site. I'm trying it out this time. The students can work on wiki style work but in a site much more useful than the zoomshare site I showed you. It is Netcipia http://www.netcipia.net/xwiki/bin/view/MyNetcipia/
Take care

My activity is geared toward grade 2 and I am planning to execute it this week with my class. since this is the end of the year and everyone is gearing down the computer lab becomes a busy place. It seems like everyone only wants in there at the end of the year to "kill time". I have planned an activity for my grade 2/3class. We are going to start by using a RAN (Reading and Analyzing Nonfiction Strategy) chart which is similar to a KWL chart. The students will write down one fact they think the…

Overview:
Current teaching practices and learning models stress the importance of using a constructivist approach to ensure that students are learning by making sense of the world with the resources provided through the curriculum. In order to this, students need to learn with others while constructing their own knowledge in an individual process. Here is a lesson plan that explores natural disasters for a Grade 7 Social Studies class that attains curriculum outcomes for both Social Studies and…

Overview:
My new literacy lesson will be an introduction to a new form of technology. All students need to play with their learning tools before they are expected to use them as tools (this I’ve learned from using manipulatives in math!) So this lesson will be short and sweet and guided but will hopefully introduce students to using the Audacity program to record their own cd of stories. This will be a school wide project for our June Literacy Day. This day focuses on students engaging in litera…

Assignment # 2. Curriculum Plan for Teaching New Literacies
I want to thank one of the senior high English teachers for her dedicated work in the area of literacy and this activity.
I have chosen to introduce and use a program similar to iBrary called Aturor. Atutor will allow for a discussion forum and a section for blogging information relevant to the course, especially in the area of reflection and journal responses.
The site contact/computer teacher will need to set up a link on the school w…

I read through everything I posted and I was a little disappointed in my personal blogs, so I think my strongest reflections were all posted to the forum. I have mixed feelings over this part of the course. At first I thought I really had a grasp on "new literacies" even before we delved deep into the readings, then I realized I didn't. Getting knocked down like that is never a positive experience but it mkaeks you want to fight harder and rise to the challenge. I feel like I did that. I was alw…

I think the three most powerful entries for this part of the course are 3 of my blog posts; "Rereflection", "Literacies Sampler"and "Kapitzke". With regards to comprehensiveness, they indicate responsiveness to all parts of this course, because each represents a different set of readings . The first one indicates my revelations as I reread the first article and the processing and deep thinking associated with it . The fact that it followed hard on the heels of the previous reflection, the differ…

I didn’t realize until I was cleaning up my emails that I had to do a reflection for the second Kapitzke article. The thoughts presented in this article seem a little more friendly towards the role of the librarian than she had been. Kapitzke leads us down the path to commitment to learning the new technologies and being involved in hyperliteracy .She indicates that in all consciousness we need to move away from neutrality to position or opinion in the politics of our schools and education syste…

How has literacy changed? What is the function of literacy in the 21st century and how does it compare to the past? These are two questions that popped up in my mind throughout reading. How is different now and why? Change is inevitable that I know for sure. But where do these changes come from and how does this change take place. I was surprised to see that the change we are now in the midst of has been in formation for the past 15 to 20 years. Slowly changing to accommodate society. So why hav…

The Smartboard – A Firestorm at my School
Our school was recently the beneficiary of a SmartBoard from a parent who is in business in the community of Montague and has two children in our school. This is the first time any of us have been exposed to this new technology. Teachers who were interested in staying after school one day a few weeks ago were given a one hour demonstration of the Smartboard from the company that s…

To begin my discussion on A New Literacy Sampler reading, I would like to write down a few points that I found interesting;
* “If there is no ‘text’ there is no literacy.”
*”Literacy= socially organized practices that make use of a symbol system and a technology for producing and disseminating it.”
* “Articulation and interpretation= Writing and Reading”
I read in Chapter one that the information revolution is actually a relationship revolution. I thought that was a neat thought, since literacy…

I think I am finally consolidating my thoughts on the new literacies and am willing to consider them hyperliteracies. I guess you could say I am filtering and interpreting. The value added part I love. Our former Premier used that term a lot and now I understand it in a differnt way than financial and economical... it is the connections made across a variety of media to create a relationship. WOW!! there is that word again 'connections'. It seems that the buzz word for learning is connections wi…

Where will it all end?
This is a cute video I found that seems to reflect some of the questions we all seem to be asking - what effect will the new literacies have on our teaching and what changes will it make in our schools?
