Why Separate School and the Outside World?
I intuitively believe that each and every student should be granted the opportunity to acquire 21st century readiness. I will strive to integrate ISTE skills, such as, "critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, creativity, information fluency, and digital citizenship into my classroom. Being literate is a multi-dimensional, multifaceted process.
I hope to fostering an environment where every student can learn what they are truly interested in, and learning by doing provides students with the authentic, and engaging atmosphere they need. Incorporative multiple literacies into classrooms allows students to bring their own stories from home. As educators, it is our job to find out what these literacies are, and to give them an academic persona.
It is imperative to support multiple discourses, such as blogging, tweeting, and creating persuasive images. With the implementation of such technology, multimodal literacy requirements can now be met. We are giving our students the opportunities to communicate, and express across several different modes. As a result, students are given the opportunities to grapple with various tools, and in effect display multiple intelligences.
Why separate school and the outside world? My goal is to combine the two, creating a multidimensional classroom, where writers are now producers, readers are now viewers, and listeners are now composers. If we want our students to acquire life long digital citizenships: we must teach them the tools of the 21st century.
