Module 5
This module has demonstrated so many ideas for covering the modes of Literacy in talking, listening and writing using technology/mobile devices. The ebooks are fantastic for teachers to use in their reading groups and it is a different way to expose students to reading in a different format. They can underline words they don't understand and use the different functions on the iPad to improve their understanding of what they are reading. The audio books assist in students developing their listening skills and extending their comprehension. Then having the voice recording is such a great assessment tool for teachers and students as they can hear how they are reading. This can lead to positive discussion and feedback between student and teacher. The ebooks that have activities and games really are valuable as they are encouraging comprehension which is vital for students reading skills. Meegenius app provides students with books that they can read and they can follow the story as it highlights the words
The digital story creator apps give students a fun and interactive method of writing. Last term in my class we were looking at the narrative text type and the students published their stories on the computer. This term I would love to introduce the students to these apps and get them to extend their story telling skills digitally. The puppet pals and sock puppet apps would be excellent for story creating activities and discussing character profiles. The flipboard app is a great resource for providing students with a variety of texts. This app gives them access to magazines which can be used for research or letting them read informative texts.
There are so many ways to incorporate the multimodal Literacy practices in the classroom and it is now a vital part of programming for teachers.
