Where is Engagement? Where is the Text

Disengagement and Order--A Deadly Combination

What Text is Left When you Throw the Textbook out the Window?

What is the Engaging Text? Maybe a better question is Where is the text?

Think-Pair-Share (Lyman, 1981)

1. As a whole, what do the video clips say about the relation between textbooks and learning in school?

2. What do the video clips say about engagement and disengagement in school?

3. What do the clips say about strategies using non print texts (multimodal texts--music, imagery, performance)

On January 27, 2010, Apple Announces the

1._____ _____ The introduction of the iPad and the eventual influx of multiple tablet devices has changed learning and teaching forever

2._____ _____ The key aspect of “21st Century Literacy” is that what counts as a text and reading has changed dramatically

3._____ _____ There is already evidence that new portable devices and the “apps” and other tools are positively effecting student engagement and learning

4._____ _____ The first indicator of the effect of new digital devices and apps is how ineffective traditional textbooks are

Learning with iPad: It caters to learning modalities, styles, and engages learners because it is interactive and multimodal

Learning with iPads: Access to information you no longer have to remember or master but instead personalize information to your own needs

Textbook Memes

Meme Critique And...

Textbooks are Outdated

Textbooks are designed to support teaching/learning

Where does the content for iPads come from?

Textbooks are Expensive

Tech hardware and license agreements/apps are expensive

Even if you save money, what content should you buy?

Textbooks are Heavy

They have a point there!iPads and other tablets are definitely lighter on

iPad Memes

Meme Critique And...iPads are engaging

Printed curricula can be engaging

Is engagement synonymous with digital, multimodality?

iPads are interactive

People are interactive--readers can interact with print, pictures, and other people

“Interactivity”can be distracting and

iPads are portable

They have a point there! But. . . lots of curricular materials are portable

Portability is not synonymous with learning

iPads include current content

Content is current only if content providers are current

What copyrights and authors will allow what material in digital texts?

iPads are dynamic and magical

Do these dynamic, interactivity, and magic provide strong teaching and learning design?

Who is designing education apps and digital texts?

Affordances and App Affordances

Design

An app might have positive

features built in by designers

An app might have

affordances only apparent in use

Strategic Engagement

1. Selecting app affordances (Beach & O’Brien , 2012. appropriate for a particular lesson, its tasks and literacy support

2. Twinning app affordances with effective strategies for that particular instructional and learning context

A STRATEGY: REAP (READ ENCODE ANNOTATE PONDER)Read to discern the author’s message

Encode the message by translaEng it into your own words

Annotate by cogently wriEng the message in notes for yourself and your group and post for others to read (post in Google Docs, post annotaEon in text in Diigo)

Ponder, or further reflect on what you have read and wriPen, through discussion and by reviewing others responses toe the same reading /and or to your annotaEon

REAP Diigo social bookmarking

AN APP AFFORDANCE: USING DIIGO TO FACILITATE ANNOTATION

Diigo “floating sticky notes” allow posting of text-specific annotations

Readers can read each other’s annotations, and annotate (meta-annotate) annotations with other levels of REAP

REAP ✦ Summary Response: The basic message of article. A

simple statement of the main ideas. After discussing with your group, write out a short paragraph—2-3 sentences that you believe capture the main theme of the piece.

✦Attention-getting or heuristic response: Find a quote in the article that will make someone else want to respond. This should be attention- getting or surprising.

✦Personal View or Transactional Response: How do your views and feelings compare with what you think the author is saying?

A STRATEGY: GIST (GENERATING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SCHEMATA AND

• Select a paragraph (or passage)

• Have students read the paragraph (or passage) for the purpose of retelling

• Students generate summaries (individually or collaboratively) and revise until satisfied

• Students re-read the text to check the accuracy of the summary and post a revised summary

• The digital affordance adaptation (iAnnote PDF app: Students use both written and oral annotation features to generate multimodal summaries
