  • Digital media supplies information, but it also shapes the process of thought. 
  • My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles.
  • Literary figures are openly admitting that they cannot engage in sustained critical reading, in a sense, they can no longer read for a purpose
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • we should be moving towards, “a carefully employed pedagogy aimed at furthering students digital literacy, just as earlier, process-based composition emerged as a dominant pedagogical model”
  • being wary of public writing in the classroom.  He suggests that if not implemented properly, this public writing can have far reaching consequences.
  • “Before students can engage in the new participatory culture, they must be able to read and write
  • this intentional move towards brevity and away from sustained critical reading/writing is sure to negatively impact the future of our students, thereby impacting the future of our country.

  • Every day at BCLUW is Digital Learning Day. Technology is not viewed as a separate entity needing a specific time to be etched into the classroom for use, in fact it reminds me a lot of the dichotomy between reading and writing; technology infused curriculum is the norm here, a natural part of pedagogy and student learning.

      Yes, yes and yes.  I think that is why students really buy into the portfolio process.  They get to choose!!

      We hope this is the case that the portfolio is owned by the students w/sharing w/ others
    • dawn pendergrass

      This idea -- the students need to take ownership, sift through their learning and make sense of their triumphs and challenges.  We feel that this is a VERY meaningful learning experience.

      One of the most important aspects for us about portfolios is that reflection happens - putting portfolio together is not just making a checklist - it is thinking about your learning - the metacognition.

      The audience should be defined ahead of time so students can develop the portfolio w/this audience in mind

      Pre teach HOW TO curate and organize, maybe develop a template for this - but then it is up to the student to take this on - it is their work

      Holy Cow!  Now I think that I need to create my own digital portfolio!  Yikes.  This may cause some marital strife ;)  I tend to dive into these things and then not come up for air until I am done and it is perfect.

      Creating a personal portfolio as an exemplar to model for students would be a way to guide students' learning
    • dawn pendergrass
      dawn pendergrass on 07 Aug 12
       
      That is great!  I kept my portfolio from ETEP and have often shown them my own portfolio.  But perhaps creating my own writing portfolio would be helpful and show that this is something that writers do -- not just students.
  • in other words, a place for gathering all of one’s academic, artistic, athletic, or other achievements from kindergarten to twelfth grade.

      As a content area teacher, I use e-portfolios in place of lab notebooks.  All the students lab reports are housed in a digital setting.  So my goals and vision for e-portfolios are much more singular.

      Some students will take the bull by the horns and make the most of the features of the portfolio process and program. Of course others will just go through the motions to get it done. Either way, the process of creating is what's important - the generation of a body of work that the student will consider and the process of accomplishing the task as well.

      This is my concern with moving in the direction of an ePortfolio. I've seen this happen with "paper" portfolios time and time again. Lots of work is put into it and when it's finished parents see it as a "keepsake" and still want a "grade". How do we change this culture? How do we assist parent and administrators.
