Introduction to our blog

Welcome

Welcome to our blog for ELN302 Assessment One. Within this blog you will find information about new literacies in the world and in the classroom. The purpose of this blog is to complete an assessment, so we thought as part of educating ourselves in digital literacy, we could do a blog then that way others could learn from us. Multimodality is a major focus of our blog and we aim to represent our ideas in a multimodal way. We hope you enjoy what we have to say and hope you also learn something along the way. We welcome any feedback or questions you may have.


Let's begin.......

Our responses to the following phrase:

"Shifting paradigms: Learning in new times is about interactivity, creativity and critical literacy with the context of multimodality. It changes learning spaces, texts and pedagogies." (Langat, K., 2013)
Initially, we were going to come up with a group meaning for this phrase however, we decided that we each needed to make meaning of it on our own to fully understand what it meant. Following is our own individual responses to the phrase.
