Literacies

My field study is about using Wikis as a place to display our work - whatever that work is, have students provide feedback on that work with the hopes that students will be able to take that feedback and become better communicators through it. Wikis are a place to collaborate together; provide feedback on each others work. Work doesn't have to be just writing - it could be video, photos, etc. Multi-literacies. Being able to communicate what one has learned is important - in what ever format that looks like. Literacy is more than just being able to read and write, it goes beyond that in the 21st century. Being able to understand, communicate, interpret, create, identify and compute more than just printed materials.
