how are we helping students create conversationsabout multiple ways of reading and writing today’sworld?

Transliteracy is the ability to read,write and interact across a range ofplatforms, tools and media fromsigning and orality throughhandwriting, print, TV, radio and film,to digital social networks.Source: http://nlabnetworks.typepad.com/transliteracy/

but what does that really mean?

Transliteracy is an umbrella term encompassingdifferent literacies and multiple communicationchannels that require active participationwith and across a range of platforms, andembracing both linear and non-linear messagesDr. Susie AndrettaLondon Metropolitan University Source: http://nlabnetworks.typepad.com/transliteracy/Andretta_Transliteracy.pdf

Transliteracy is a “a convergence of literacies”(Lippincott, 2007: 17) as the boundariesbetween medial literacy, digital literacy,technology literacy and information literacybecome blurred when individuals evolve fromconsumers of information to producers ofcontent.Dr. Susie AndrettaLondon Metropolitan University Source: http://nlabnetworks.typepad.com/transliteracy/Andretta_Transliteracy.pdf and http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ERM07610.pdf

“The most fundamental notion oftransliteracy is the ability to adapt.It’s creating a literacy and fluiditybetween mediums that’s not tiedto space or modality.”Ryan Nadelfounder of 8 Leaf Digital Productions and an instructor at the Vancouver Film SchoolSource: http://spotlight.macfound.org/featured-stories/entry/what-is-this-buzz-word-transliteracy-a-qa-with-ryan-nadel/

Transliteracy is concerned with mappingmeaning across different media and not withdeveloping particular literacies about variousmedia. It is not about learning text literacy andvisual literacy and digital literacy in isolationfrom one another but about the interactionamong all these literacies.Tom IpriLiaison Librarian to the College of Media Arts and Design at W. W. Hagerty Library at DrexelUniversitySource: http://crln.acrl.org/content/71/10/532.full

“…transliteracy is a shape-shifting eco-systemof behaviours and it is probably neither possible nordesirable for anyone to understand enough to knowthe whole elephant. The vital thing is to remember itis always there and in constant motion. This meansrecognising the limits of your own knowledge andaccepting a degree of messiness and uncertainty.”Professor Sue ThomasDe Montfort University, Leicester, UK Source: http://nlabnetworks.typepad.com/transliteracy/2010/12/argue.html

…thinking linearly about literacy is seldoma good idea. Literacy should be thought ofas a holistic ecology, not a linear seriesof events and changes…Professor Sue ThomasDe Montfort University, Leicester, UK Source: http://bit.ly/p4g9YJ

“the process of being transliterate does not have an end point. Instead, I like to think of the transliteracy process as being like a nautilus that is constantly growing and adding chambers to its shell.” Jamie Hollier Project Coordinator for Public Computing Centers atce: http://www.jamiehollier.com/2011/07/supporting-transliteracy-part-1/ Colorado State Librarymage via http://www.flickr.com/photos/donlonphoto/2721385316/

“embrace the potentials andchallenges of this [participatory]emerging culture not as areplacement for existing printpractices but as an expansion ofthem”~henry jenkins~

many lack access or resources to connect and create

“this means that our democratic institutions (schools and libraries particularly) have to work hard and thoughtfully to mitigate these forces.” Deborah Brandt

Express Shared Learning Authenticity/ Digital Rigor Creativity

“Looking at this across thedisciplines you start to seehow important theknowledge-creationactivity plays into thesense of identity. Theoverriding theme is thatone does not become a“scholar” until they havecreated something new. Intheir eyes, it is the act ofcreation thatdistinguishing the studentfrom the scholar.”Brian Mathews, Assistant University Librarianat UC Santa Barbara

Reflect: Assessment and Evaluation Formative Self Summative

formativeassessment: the measurement of knowledge and skills during the process of learningSource: Stripling, 2007/2009, pp. 167-68

Formative Assessment • Formative assessments engage the school library media specialist, classroom teacher, and student in thinking about the learning process while it is happening so that adjustments can be made if needed • Ongoing and reflective in nature • Frames teachers and students as partners in learningSource: Stripling, 2009

Examples of Student Led Formative Assessments • Reflecting (learning • Questions logs or blogs, • Sharing, Reciprocal notetaking) Teaching • Video recorded • Peer Review reflections/narratives • Graphic organizers (KWL charts, concept maps/mind mapping, idea webs)Source: Stripling, 2009

summativeassessment is themeasurement of knowledgeand skills at the end of aprocess of learning inorder todetermine the amount and quality of learning Source: Stripling, 2007/2009, pp. 167-68

Summative Assessments • Presentations • Multimedia creations (Voice Thread, Video, • Portfolios Glogster) • Text based papers • Tests/Exams • Reflective narratives • Performance based tasksSource: Stripling, 2009
