The MLLS evaluation team uses a success-based approach to evaluation. We use the research base and the experience of large scale educational technology initiatives to move beyond the question of whether technology can improve student learning to using the idenetified conditions and strategies for using technology which do improve the quality of a school's instructional program as a benchmark for evaluation. Doing so, the MLLS evaluation team can provide critical formative assessment to local project leaders about what they are doing well, what challenges they face, and can make recommendations on how to address the challenges.

media literacies MIT

shared by anonymous on 11 Jun 09 - Cached

I’m the kind of person who’s paranoid about having something stuck in her teeth or toilet paper trailing from her shoe, so I always appreciate friends who are willing to point these things out to me. As a member of Project New Media Literacies, then, I’m grateful for the impetus of blogger and author Liz Losh in pointing out places where our hem appears to be showing.

Keeping the core of instruction to these golden 15 minutes also allows for 20 minutes of student work at the end of class, what I call the "exit price."

Many teachers have been told to teach from bell to bell. Unfortunately, some teachers believe this means they must stand and deliver in front of the board for 50 minutes. Big mistake!

During teach-back, I break objectives into smaller steps and concepts, do 10-second mini-lectures on a "baby" concept in the context of a problem, then immediately put up several problems on that baby concept and fire questions at several different students, asking them to teach the class to apply what I taught by doing the problems

The connection between reading, writing, communication and new literacies is multi-modal, engaging everyone as learners as a result of its constant, transformative nature. Multiple modalities go beyond traditional ways of communicating—such as pen and paper, keyboard and mouse—to combine old literacies with new ones. This results in increased usability, increased experience that engages learners (Source).
