Barb's Post

I think it is pretty clear to all of us at this point that the definition of "texts" are changing rapidly. I thought the article that Barb posted was very useful and something that I will need to keep in mind constantly when I enter a classroom.

I especially liked the quick writing activity because it will bring awareness to the students of what texts are, how many different types of texts are available, and that they are most likely using valuable texts already.

I am still trying to get used to the fact that the definition of literacy is changing and that there are so many different texts that can be used in the classroom now.

Awhile ago we had a class discussion that the job of what an English teacher is, is changing and we might be a little disappointed at this point. Well, this article is proof that the curriculum and resources in the classroom are changing more and more as the days pass.
