    Reading Summary Week 2 REMIXED!

    by
    I loved the beginning of this chapter! “‘remixing’ involves taking cultural artifacts and combining and manipulating them into new kinds of creative blends and products”  The first sentence had me thinking right away.

    Missing Lens

    by
    I added my hockey photo to a 1962 photo of a hockey game Blackhawks verses Maple Leafs. During the game a player lost his contact lens and they stopped the game to look for it. I chose this because it is not your typical history picture and I have pictures of me playing hockey. I...

    Technology in the Classroom… Who is the Teacher?

    by
    In reading Lankshear and Knobel’s first chapter several things went through my mind. The article discussed new literacies and different ways they are viewed. One of the first pieces that stood out to me was when @batcheloro responded to this quote from the article, “Understanding literacies from a sociocultural perspective means that reading and writing can...
