The Web Literacy Map provides a sense- check as well as a global plat-form upon which to build learning pathways. This allows educators to move beyond everyday experi-ence of siloed practice and provides a common lan-guage across time and space. It is an open- source project, meaning that it can be sustained and forked without the permission of the owner.
I think it is so important to teachers to use the web during class. It shows the students just how easy it is to access information.
Sharing is essential to creating the many small pieces of the Web (Alexander, 2006 )
Thats why blogging became so popular.
The core belief uniting the community is that exploring, building, and connecting online can never be taught in isolation.
Each one is intertwined. It is true that each one must be taught in harmony.
The goal is to encourage mentors to align their materials regardless of theory, perspectives, goals, or geography.
I suppose this makes sense. It would be easier to find information.
Many frameworks, such as digital literacy, media literacy, and information literacy have considered the skills required for the Web.
This is very true. All my classes require all these skills
So true. All of my textbooks are electronic.
one reader might have strong prior knowledge related to a text that compensates for relatively poor clarifying and fix-up strategies, whereas another reader might have weak prior knowledge related to a text but make up for it by using a variety of strategies that help build meaning in such circumstances.
All students must be assessed differently due to strengths and weakness
Provide Exposure to a Volume and Range of Texts
Children get bored with the same materials, mix it up
Prior knowledge helps so much in the world of comprehension because you are activating what you already know, and connecting it with something you are just learning.
we use our knowledge along with our perceptions of what we think the text says to literally build, or construct, mental representations of what the text means.
This is how I learned to comprehend texts. Mental representations allows me to picture what is actually taking place. I'm a kinesthetic learning. I rather be hands on, therefore I have to invent some type of image.
I think the release model is most effective in a classroom. It makes students become responsible for their learning if done properly.
Love the twofold word study method. Can't wait to use it.
