Substitution

• Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change.

• Questions to Keep in Mind:

• What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new technology?

In other words…technology is a simple replacement for something you are already using in the classroom. Your coffee for Starbucks.

Augmentation • Technology acts as a direct

tool substitute, with functional improvement.

• Questions to Keep in Mind: • Have I added an

improvement to the task process that could not be accomplished with the older technology at a fundamental level?

• How does this feature contribute to my design?

In other words…the technology adds a little something extra to what you would have done before. A regular cup of coffee for a Starbucks Iced Latte. Same, but a little different.

Modification • Technology allows for

significant task redesign. • Questions to Keep in Mind: • How is the original task being

modified? • Does this modification

fundamentally depend upon the new technology?

• How does this modification contribute to my design?

In other words…technology changes the way the class can complete a project; adds options that could not have been available before. A cup of coffee for an iced Caramel Macchiato.

Redefinition • Technology allows for the

creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

• Questions to Keep in Mind: • What is the new task? • Will any portion of the

original task be retained? • How is the new task

uniquely made possible by the new technology?

• How does it contribute to my design?

In other words…the technology changes the project into something that could not have been created without the use of technology. A regular cup of coffee for a trademarked Pumpkin Spiced Latte by Starbucks, no one else can make it like them.

Final Project

Guiding questions ■ What practical methods help teachers (both pre-service

and serving) provide access and exposure to books with diverse, critical themes?

■ What practical methods help teachers and students talk more about what they are reading?

■ What practical methods help students become avid readers who read and talk about books that disrupt the single story and create windows and mirrors?

Instagram assignment

I Am Malala ■ This book sounds so amazing and

interesting. I am definitely putting it on my summer reading list! I love how it makes you realize the value of education more deeply, because I know I take my education for granted everyday, and I’m going to try to not do that anymore. Malala sounds like an extremely strong willed woman who perseveres through the unimaginable. She sounds very inspiring. I look forward to reading this soon!

The Other Wes Moore ■ This book is definitely on my

list of books to read. I think this book is very relatable, especially for educators, because we have to be aware that every student has different backgrounds and home lives. I firmly believe that every student needs that inspirational role model in their life in order to help them succeed because it’s hard to do it alone without the support or guidance. Every person can succeed in life with the right resources and with their own intrinsic motivation that comes from within

The Hate You Give This book seems so interesting to me and I feel like I can relate. Being a Salvadoran American, sometimes I struggle to fit in both worlds. Just like Starr, I feel different no matter where I am because I worry that I won't live up to expectations. I can feel like I'm not Hispanic enough or I'm not American enough. It can be hard, but at the same time I am happy to get to experience and be a part of both sides.

Created by Kids: 4th, 7th, 11th grades

Transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks.

Radiant child is about the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. This book tells the story of Basquiat’s childhood and how he came to be the famous artist he is now known as. The book is written and illustrated by Javaka Steptoe, who borrowed from Basquiat’s painting style while incorporating his own for the book. That is also what I did for my “art work”. I’m not an artist, but I tried to use the colors and style of both Basquiat and Steptoe while telling another story of "radiant children" along with adding events that happened in “Radiant Child” (him getting hit by a car) and some components he was best known for (the crown, teeth, skulls, cars). I thought this book was interesting because Basquiat came from a multicultural background, half black and half Puerto Rican and actually spoke 3 different languages, but the book didn’t speak at all about the hardships he must have faced growing up in the 1960’s... I guess that’s why I brought some attention to that in my painting with Basquiat at the bottom with the boxing gloves fighting “the man” or society or even his inner demon but it’s up to interpretation, (It actually looked like Voldemort first then looked like Trump before I started drawing all over his face hahaha (unintentional)). Throughout the book, young Basquait keeps saying “I’m going to be a famous artist”. My question to all of you is, how important do you think it is to encourage children to follow their dreams, even if it is being a “famous artist”? Also, do you believe you can speak things like this into existence? 🎨🎨👨👨🏾🏾 🎨🎨🚗🚗 #followyourdreams #BeAnArtist #notasinglestory
