Presentation delivered by Andy Kohl and Ben Grey for the District 30 Inservice Day on March 1, 2010.
There were three videos used in this presentation. They won't play in the SlideShare at this point. They were, in order of appearance:
Help with Bowdrill Set- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuFsDN8dsJU
Can This Be His Home?- http://jonorech.wikispaces.com/file/view/Woodson1.wmv
Lost Generation- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42E2fAWM6rA
Put this on the screen, but I’ll also hand out slips to each person, giving them the directions of one of the two Etherpads. This way we can shuffle the room, in terms of who is contributing to which definition pad.

Debrief about Etherpad experience and classroom application.
Introduce the cooperation vs. collaboration conversation. I’ll put together some quote cards for each table to discuss.
Andy talks about district tools and initiative to engage communication and collaboration
Bow Saw Video.
There’s an invisible link at the bottom of the page, which takes us to the actual YouTube page, so we can view the comments.
Me- Talk about how literacy has remained the same at the core, but changed in its application. Ask how we communicate our ideas, specifically. Then ask which of these forms we tend to focus on the most in school. Show Woodson’s Story and explain my experience with my JHU assignment this week. Then go into 4 resource model.
This slide is actually a text link to an interesting pecha kucha. I don’t know if we want to explain what that is, but it does illustrate how powerpoint can be used in a different way, and it might be a novel way of introducing the next slide. http://www.pecha-kucha.org/presentations/27
Thoughts?

Users must first break the code. Talk about language. Then equate it to text language.
The user then must use meaning making strategies to bring meaning to the code that is broken. Strategies like inferences, connections, questions, synthesizing.
The text user must understand the form. Maps are read very differently than blogs, which are different than expository text, which are different than fantasy novels.
Reader must ask questions of the author. Consider bias, purpose of piece, motive for message, credibility, etc.
The example of reverse writing.
I think that this is not only an interesting example of an alternative writing assignment, but a really great note to end the presentation on.
