Articles 1 and 2 are of interest to me because it highlights the importance of digital literacy skills and knowledge, and the role and effect it has on an individual’s level of political participation. Both are fairly recent publications and would be useful resources.
 
Articles 3 and 4 both would be useful resources as it offers a couple of ways to implement digital literacy, through storytelling and e-portfolio.  As I am planning to create an e-portfolio with my class as my final project, article 4 is especially relevant to my research. Both articles are also fairly recent publications, in 2011 and 2017 respectively.

The 5th and last article grabbed my attention, naturally as a Special Ed. Teacher, it made me wonder about these student and how much digital literacy education they actually receive, if any. Or do they even have the opportunity to access technology?  What is their level of media/digital literacy upon high school graduation? 

I think google scholar is a good starting point and that is where I started my research before heading over to the UBC library and databases. As my research progress, and the more I read on the various websites and databases, my search terms expanded and was augmented. I stared out with ‘digital literacy education, ’then  ‘digital literacy practices,’ ‘digital learning in high school,’ ‘digital learning using e-portfolio,’ and finally ‘digital learning in special education.’ Reflecting on my list, I think I will need to do more research to find resources from a variety of other sources such as a video or blog. I have only focused on journal articles but will expand to look at other sources as I continue to work toward the final assignment.

Fostering Cultural Change in Schools with ICT

What am I doing to develop my own ICT and pedagogy? I will continue to learn about the various educational Apps and Web Tools and whichever ones I think will benefit my students’ learning, I will introduce it to the class and have students 'play' with it. Such as Wordle and Wordsift, and much more on the following website: http://www.readingrockets.org/article/10-ways-use-technology-build-vocabulary . Wordle is a word cloud generator and Wordsift works in similar ways and both are great for vocabulary development.  Wordsift also is good for students that tend to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of words in a text.  Wordsift help sifts through a piece of text and identifies important words in the text by making the word bolder, bigger and most prominent. I think these tools would be useful for my English Language Learner (ELL) students, as well as my struggling learners in helping develop vocabulary, foster and encourage reading. I see my students every day so I th...

Future Vision Blog #2:Learner Consideration

The process of creating an E-portfolio template for my class is off to a slow start. As mentioned in my previous blog post, I have chosen to use Google Sites for this task since all the students at my current school are already set up to use GAFE. This project is created mainly for my students because I had wanted to have something whereby my students could collect, showcase, and reflect on their learning and explore multiple literacy formats. (Retrieved from google Images) It will also give me insight into how they are learning and how they perceive themselves as learners, thus giving me a fuller and richer picture of who students are as learners.  From my research and readings about E-Portfolios, it helps improve and support learning and self- assessment. It also helps foster reflection, and self- motivation.  For those reasons, I would like to try to implement it in my own classes. I have created the basic frame or layout.  I am being very mindful of how t...

Fostering a Reading Culture in Schools

How Do I Foster a Reading Culture at My Current School? Hmm...well, I think I need to look at what I have experienced in the past and what other schools have done to achieve encourage and foster a reading culture.  At previous high schools I've worked at, the Teacher-Librarian (TL) implemented DEAR time ( D rop  E verything  A nd  R ead)  two to three times per week  for twenty minutes  .   At the elementary level,  DEAR  time was implemented daily for twenty minutes.  At both levels, this was a school-wide event where both students and staff participated.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGH9x4phuVs   Some other ways to foster a reading culture that I had experience at the high school level include the implementation of book clubs and book critics.  The book clubs were created for both teachers and students.  In high schools, book critics would review a book they had just finished...
