1) How does transliteracy change your current thoughts on the content you deliver?
2) How do you see the incorporation of transliteracy teaching methods increasing student inclusion and engagement? Transliteracy is ‘the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks’ (Thomas et al, 2007). In order for our students to succeed in today’s world, it’s important that students are taught to move beyond writing or reading text but instead use multiple literacies. Their ability to be able to move across a range of different types of tools or media is called transliteracy. The digital world has provided our students with many opportunities to learn. Teachers today must choose to use this world of technology to help our students become transliterate and be able to communicate in multiple ways. Teaching content should not only be about the content being delivered but the different ways in which it is being delivered by the teacher and different ways it is being received by the students. Incorporating transliteracy teaching methods will help provide inclusion for every type of learner who can show what they know in the way that works best for them. It can also challenge students to take what they know and demonstrate that knowledge across a different platform. 3) How does sketchnoting fall into the transliteracy category and how was it for you to process information in this way? How might you use this in the classroom? Sketchnoting was actually pretty fun, although I am not the best artist. I liked the idea of pen and paper and collecting my thoughts in that way. It made me process my ideas differently than I normally would. After this section I have included a few of my sketchnoting ideas and the rest of them can be found at this link. There are many ways to use the idea of sketchnoting in the classroom. You can have students start off final projects with this first to collect their ideas and then transform that into a final project. You can have students spend time sketching their thoughts about a new topic or take away from a lesson. Overall, sketchnoting can be a valuable tool for teachers and students.

I agree with you, the need for students to learn transliteracy is incredibly important in this time of transformation in our society with the popularity of social media and how technology has so deeply embedded itself into our lives. The future will demand that our students are able to move between medias and be able to communicate beyond just the written word.
