New Literacies in Action

I enjoyed reading Chapter 2 of New Literacies in Action beause Parma is where I am from. It was interesting to read about the Arts Seminar and how it developed. I really like the idea of it, especially the coteaching. I think that three teachers' minds are better than just one. I thought it was so awesome that the students used alternative texts and communications to learn in this course. I would have loved to be a part of something like this! I was disappointed to read that it is no longer offered at Parma High.

I also really liked the project that Clarence Fisher did with his students, mentioned in Chapter 3. I thought it was a really cool idea to have his students work and collaborate with other students in the Netherlands. Last semester, those of us in Dr. Gershon's class were able to do something similar to this with Education students in Greece. I thought it was really interesting to be able to communicate and talk about ideas with others from another part of the world. I would love to be able to do something like this with my students some day.
