Notas del editor
Video is another session. But there will be one video example.
New literacies+ever changing, disposition (teach how we were taught, good, bad) Constructivist – we learn best when we learn with others (immediate proximity) Expression and production
Continuum (telling not bad but often overused), note-taking per Hector Sanchez). How do we use the 27/26 letters, and punctuation to create new ideas. How to use transforming as a way of working with ideas but also becoming better speakers and writers. Rhetorical effect, fluency, prosodic features, etc.
Disposition: Don’t be afraid to let students know more than you do about the technology. Don’t think that just because students may be younger that they actually do know more than you do.
Facebook comments, example. Comments on hosts and in course management systems.
Storyboards (paper, spreadsheet, table in Word), Script Storyboard work well for narrative structures or concepts that can be broken down into constituent sections (which is almost anything).
