iPads are interactive
People are interactive--readers can interact with print, pictures, and other people
“Interactivity”can be distracting and
iPads are portable

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

Affordances and App Affordances
Design
An app might have positive
features built in by designers
Use
An app might have
affordances only apparent in use
Tuesday, June 18, 13
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
Tuesday, June 18, 13
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
Tuesday, June 18, 13
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
TEXT)
• 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
