Teaching Digital Natives
In the Intermediate English Classroom
Overview
I tried a new app called Sparkol and iMovie to make the below clip. Sorry for the couple of errors.
The Digitalk article made me go back to some resources I have checked before as well as discover some new ones (e.g. NCTE Framework for 21st Century Curriculum and Assessment). It was interesting to see many pointed to the current tension between old, aka print and classics and new, aka gaming manuals and tweets, literacies. The insights from the various classroom and student experiences was reassuring.
I hope you enjoy.
