2/7 Online Module #1: Word Wall

In place of our class next week on 2/7, there are two things I'd like you to do in place of our class meeting so that we can move forward. This is #1.

Please read the two articles listed in the syllabus together first before you complete either of these assignments. By Friday, 2/8, at midnight, please comment to this blog one key vocabulary word or phrase from the readings that you want to add to our word wall. Your comment needn't be long but don't quote - put things in your own words as much as possible and, if possible, illustrate your definition with an example from your experience as a teacher or student. I've posted a few sites under literacy links that you may want to check out to inform your thinking especially about the multiliteracies concept.

If you find, at the time of your post, that you don't have a new word or phrase to add, then you should really comment on someone's definition and use it to build, elaborate, or expand our understanding of the word / phrase. You could also offer up some interesting links to sites that could be further illustrative for people.
