Phonology: the ability to recognize and reproduce speech sounds. Orthography: the ability to recognize and reproduce spelling patterns. Semantics: the ability to pick out the meaning of words. Morphology: the ability to recognize and reproduce the patterns of word formations.
These four elements for reading and writing say a lot of language development. Language starts with listening and eventually leads up to writing.

During Phase 3, students work both individually and in small groups at using strategies and skills from the previous phases to develop lines of inquiry around curricular topics.
In the last phase, students work in small groups to develop their inquiry
Phase 2 is a collaborative phase during which both teachers and students conduct think-aloud demonstrations and minilessons
In the second phase of internet inquires, students and teachers come together to evaluate the information that students have found online.
questioning, locating, evaluating, synthesizing, and communicating.
the online reading comprehension strategies include questioning, evaluating, syntehsizing, and communicating
The teacher explains these strategies to small groups using a shared text, first modeling their use, and then asking students to lead the groups.
in order for teachers to use the global comprehension stragies, they must introduce them to students and let students branch out into small groups
Reciprocal teaching revolves around four global comprehension strategies: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing.
the four global comprehension strategies are predicitng, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing
In addition, the rise of the Internet means that teachers must shift how they teach reading and writing (
In order for teachers to adapt to the forever changing digital age, they must change how they teach their subjects to better incorporate technology and internet inquiries
These Cs include such skills as creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and comprehension.
The 5 "C's of change" for the 21st century
Students needed a sextant, a tool for navigation, to guide them.
students need a tool for navigation to help guide their inquiry online and promote deeper thinking
Open learning, also known as open education, can be defined as a set of practices, resources, and scholarship that are openly accessible, free to use and access, and to re-purpose.
good definition of open learning
“credibility” and “relevance”…but they do understand words like “truthful” and “useful.”
very important statement for student understanding
Students collaboratively (with the instructor) identify an area of interest and co-construct a driving question to guide inquiry
teachers step in to help students come up with a subject that interests them and create a driving question to help guide their research
student interest driven
This is a very important statement because every project that students do will be easier for them to complete if it geniuenly interests them
The Internet Inquiry Project is an online research project that helps students develop the important digital knowledge and skills needed as they build their web literacies
Good definition of internet inquiry projects, ties into what we have previously learned about web literacy
As students expand beyond the WebQuest, the next step is to engage in an Internet Inquiry Project.
After students develop WebQuests, they should engage in an Internet Inquiry Project
Pedagogical knowledge (PK) is teachers’ deep knowledge about the processes and practices or methods of teaching and learning.
not only should teachers have knowledge on the subject, they should also have knowledge about the process and methods of teaching the content.
t the heart of good teaching with technology are three core components: content, pedagogy, and technology, plus the relationships among and between them.
the three components of teaching with technology are content, pedagogy, and technology
There is no “one best way” to integrate technology into curriculum. Rather, integration efforts should be creatively designed or structured for particular subject matter ideas in specific classroom contexts.
technology in the classroom should be specifically altered to fit the subject matter for that class
this knowledge is unlikely to be used unless teachers can conceive of technology uses that are consistent with their existing pedagogical beliefs
teachers are most likely not going to use new technological advances if it does not correspond to their pedagogical beliefs.
Many teachers earned degrees at a time when educational technology was at a very different stage of development than it is today
Technology is constantly changing and teachers learned how to use different forms of technology in the classroom that have transformed today
Digital technologies—such as computers, handheld devices, and software applications—by contrast, are protean (usable in many different ways; Papert, 1980); unstable (rapidly changing); and opaque (the inner workings are hidden from users;
digital technologies are said to be unstable since they arent part of the basic technologies
specificity (a pencil is for writing, while a microscope is for viewing small objects); stability (pencils, pendulums, and chalkboards have not changed a great deal over time); and transparency of function (the inner workings of the pencil or the pendulum are simple and directly related to their function)
these three are pedagogical technologies
effective teaching depends on flexible access to rich, well-organized and integrated knowledge from different domains
technology is one of the domains required for teaching
The TPACK framework for teacher knowledge is described in detail, as a complex interaction among three bodies of knowledge: Content, pedagogy, and technology. The interaction of these bodies of knowledge, both theoretically and in practice, produces the types of flexible knowledge needed to successfully integrate technology use into teaching.
the knowledge and practice of the three bodies of knowledge is essential for integrating technology into teaching
This model is based on evidence that the most resilient, adaptive, and effective learning involves individual interest as well as social support to overcome adversity and provide recognition.
I thoroughly believe that students need a strong support system in order to really excel in school
Connected learning is realized when a young person is able to pursue a personal interest or passion with the support of friends and caring adults, and is in turn able to link this learning and interest to academic achievement, career success or civic engagement.
great definition of what connected learning is, helps broaden understanding on how a student can develop connected learning skills
Groups that foster connected learning have shared culture and values, are welcoming to newcomers, and encourage sharing, feedback and learning among all participants.
This statement implies that students who are introduced to connected learning are more welcoming and more open to sharing and communicating with peers
Feeling emotionally and physically safe and a sense of belonging
This is a HUGE statement. I believe that good mental health is a key aspect to having the best education possible so this statement really shows that YOUmedia students are really getting the best results.
A survey of 30,000 college graduates found that a strong connection to a faculty member doubled the positive life outcomes of graduates.
This is such an important concept because college is incredibly stressful when going through it by yourself. But when you have a good support system encouraging you to get through the tough classes, it is easier to get through them
Learning is irresistible and life-changing when it connects personal interests to meaningful relationships and real-world opportunity.
the diagram below this comment demonstrated how aspects of life are connected through connected learning
Based on her experiences writing online, Abigail decides she wants to become a professional writer.
It is a good example that because she was exposed to fan finction, she develops a want to become a professional writer
Connected learning combines personal interests, supportive relationships, and opportunities. It is learning in an age of abundant access to information and social connection that embraces the diverse backgrounds and interests of all young people.
This is a good definition of what connected learning is
It is important for students to recognize that although technology gives us a lot of power, it also restricts us in many ways, and we need to question how the affordances of technology modify our communication and our behavior.
This is a very important statement. Technology has changed how people have acted towards one another and being behind a screen might make it easier to do some thing that you would not do in person
Doug Belshaw’s eight elements of digital literacies, I have just mentioned the civic, critical, creative, and communicative. The other four are cultural, cognitive, constructive, and confidence.
the eight elements of digital literacies is another important distinction between digital literacy and digital skills
For example, teaching digital skills would include showing students how to download images from the Internet and insert them into PowerPoint slides or webpages. Digital literacy would focus on helping students choose appropriate images, recognize copyright licensing, and cite or get permissions, in addition to reminding students to use alternative text for images to support those with visual disabilities.
This is an important distinction between digital skills and digital literacy. i.e. this explains that digital literacy is a deeper focus on web uses
Digital skills focus on what and how. Digital literacy focuses on why, when, who, and for whom
This is an important note on the difference between digital skills and digital literacy
Knowing how to read, write, and participate in the digital world has become the 4th basic foundational skill next to the three Rs—reading, writing, and arithmetic
participating in the digital world is a fundamental skill
1) develop more educators, advocates, and community leaders who can leverage and advance the web as an open and public resource, and 2) impact policies and practices to ensure the web remains a healthy open and public resource for all. In order to accomplish this, we need to provide people with open access to the skills and know-how needed to use the web to improve their lives, careers, and organizations.
The focus on educators is an important note here, some people only have access to the internet at school
Mozilla continues to refine its strategies to support and champion the web as an open and public resource
I believe this is an important statement because the internet is open to everyone with access to a computer and a server. There should be more opportunities for people to have access to these two things.
diverse audiences using the web.
This is an important note because there is such a vast number of people using the web and from all over the world
