New Literacies: Class Reflection

My Multi-Modal class is coming to an end, but the experiences I have gained through this course is definitely something that I will use when I become an educator. I have done things that I always thought would be fun (like create and write on a blog), and I have done things that I have never heard of (ning). This class really showed the multitude of possibilities in using technology in the English classroom. It allowed me to reevaluate my perceptions and expectations of an English classroom...and to become more excited about teaching!
This is also one of the first classes where I have really wanted to keep my books (except for my literature classes, of course!). Dr. Kist's book was really helpful in laying out classroom and school dynamics in regards to integrating technology in classrooms. How to Teach Great Films is an excellent resource, and the articles that we have read have been really interesting.
Multi-Modal is one of those courses where you work very hard to accomplish a lot of stuff in a relatively short amount of time, and it ultimately ends up very rewarding!
