In the Slip of the Tongue, I believe that reproduction skills are being used. Taking poetry and mixing in the delivery style of free speech and rhythm build on the idea of plainly written poetry. New meaning can often come out of free speech that was not recognized before while just in the form of writing. This is an extremely popular new way to deliver a message or students thoughts that holds a lot of emotion and feeling. I think that this is a really cool expression.
I feel that Christopher Farm news displays a variety of digital literacy skills. This newspaper definitely demonstrates socio-emotional skills because it is a form of communication through cyberspace. The authors took into account the communication tactics and 'rules' of cyberspace that applied to reaching an audience with their information. Also, the quality and validity of the information definitely plays a part in the newspaper, so I believe the authors also use information skills to compile the paper!
Facebook in first grade could represent some socio-emotional and some photo-visual skills. The photo-visual skills come in with the posts from teacher or parent that communicate by visual representation. Due to the fact that Facebook can be a great platform for safe, effective communication, using it can hone socio-emotional skills in which parents, teachers and students are all involved. I personally have used Facebook for many 'groups' I am a part of and it is incredible. The availability and convenience of Facebook is hard to beat! This idea can give parents a real peace of mind and a fun way to connect. They will also feel like a part of their children's education and school life involving the teacher and other students in the class.
The claymation video is a great example of taking specific knowledge and developing something new out of it! This is a really fun way to reeeallyy learn a topic by being hands on!
Dear George is interesting. I think this could also be an example of a reproductive skill because the video is a representation of knowledge they have learned but in a different form. I think this kind of media can be awesome.. but I do think it depends on the students and the topic it is presented on!
All of these digital literacy skills in my opinion are mild forms of using technology to learn! Although for some of them, technology was not necessary to complete the project (claymation, newspaper) I think that these uses of technology are responsible, and moderated to a good level.

Slip of the Tongue – This is an example of reproduction skills, because the students took material that was already created to make new, meaningful material. I feel that these students worked and enjoyed acting out the spoken poem and creating their own story through the poem.

Christopher Farm News – I think this was a wonderful way for students to put information together into one source. I feel that this is information skills, because the student compiled different information into one source.

Facebook in First Grade – This is an example of socio emotional skills, because the first graders are learning to “rules” to cyberspace communication. I was skeptical when reading the title, but this is such a wonderful idea!I love that the students can write their own status and it is a way to communicate with parents. This is an awesome idea!

Kids’ Cell Division Claymation - This was one of my favorite examples. This just looked like so much fun, and the children had to work very hard in order to make this, because Claymation takes a long time to create. Therefore, I know that they must have really spent time on each stage of cell division and probably had a great understanding of it afterwards. I feel that Claymation is reproduction, because they are taking the knowledge they have and making it into something knew.

Caldwell Early High School Dear George – This was an amazing way for students to analyze the Declaration of Independence. In order for them to complete this project, they truly had to read it, analyze it, and then find a way to modernize the text. A lot of thought and effort was put into this and the students have a great understanding of what the Declaration of Independence means. I feel that this was reproduction skills, because they took the information, the Declaration of Independence, and made it into something new.

I feel that this connects to both of the articles, because it shows that there are appropriate ways to use technology without it over taking the learning experience. All of these examples involved the children being hands on with the information. They had to learn about the information and use their creativity to show it to others.

The first grade Facebook users read graphical displays when they posted back and forth with their parents.
The Dear George video took the Declaration of Independence and created a new, meaningful material (the video) out of the preexisting one (the original Declaration).  They even used classical music for the soundtrack.
It's a bit tricky to tie one of the examples to "Construct knowledge from non-linear, hypertextual navigation" because we're only seeing the finished product and not their process of gathering information.  I would guess that writing The Christopher Farm News articles required this literacy skill because several of the articles would have needed to be researched online.
In the article, "No Truth in Advertising" in the Christopher Farm News, the author critically evaluated the quality and validity of information presented in a video ad for the stunt bike.
Students using a classroom Facebook account would need to understand the rules that prevail in cyberspace.

The 4-2-2 articles and video speak a lot about the most appropriate ways to use technology in the classroom, and they don't come to a consensus.  The South Korean schools, American public schools, and American Waldorf private schools all had different ideas about using technology in the classroom and different methods.  I'm not sure the question, "What is the best way to use technology in a classroom?" will be answered any time soon.  There are many experiments going on around the world.

Slip of the tongue
-Reproduction Skills
-Utilize digital reproduction to create new, meaningful materials from preexisting ones.
Christopher Farm news
- I believe this maybe information skills. they did recreate a production but not in the same way as Slip of the Tongue.
Facebook in the First Grade
- I love this. My niece kindergarten class has a facebook page. They usually just post pictures of class trips . I think this falls into the category of Socio-emotional skills.
Kids' Cell Division Claymation
-Branching skills

I believe that the work, Slip of the Tongue completed by students demonstrated the use of Reproduction Skills.  The students utilized the use of digital production to create new material of an existing poem. The Facebook in First Grade was an example of social-emotional skills. The children and other members of the Facebook group were made aware of the rules that would be applicable to using this type of communication. The Kids Division Clamation work I believe also used reproduction skills.  The clatmation video was produced using knowledge that was pre-existing.  I also found the video Dear George to be a production that engaged the participants in using Reproduction Skills.  The students took pre-existing knowledge and created material that was meaningful to them. I can see a relation of these topics to our 4:2:2 readings.  It seems that the productions of this work was using the teaching strategies found in both 4:2:2 articles.  The students were engaging in hands on activities to produce many of these works.  The claymation video, the Slip of the Tongue, and the Dear George videos were engaging students in activities that related to their studies.  However, the students were using technology to make record of these activities.

 Ashley Van Hoy's Response  Slip of the Tongue, Kid’s cell division Claymation, and Caldwell Early High School Dear George were all reproduction skills taking something old and making it new.  Christopher Farm News was informational skills because it had a lot of information to share in a different way.  Facebook in First Grade was sociology-emotional skills and information skills because parents and teachers put up things on Facebook that was both emotional and informative of students.  The Topics Relate to 4-2-2 readings because all the videos used video editing, computers, and internet to get their points across.

Slip of the Tongue – I would mark this video as a reproduction skill because it involved making a new video and using clips from different shots. It was very well put together, and I think that it told more about the poem in a clever way.

Christopher Farm Newspaper – I loved reading this paper! It reminded so much of the papers me and my sister used to write when we were being home schooled. I would say that this is socio-emotional skill, because the authors were writing to an audience and they could be communicated to through an email address listed at the end of the newspaper. This involved communication through cyberspace.

First Grade Facebook – I was very impressed with this Prezi, and would categorize this as a photo visual skill since they used photos or screen shots to assist them in telling about how the used Facebook. It could also be under socio-emotional skill, because the children used this presentation to communicate about their Facebook page through an online form.

Kids Cell Division Claymation – This was a cool video and it reminded me of my days in biology class. I think that this video would be under the information skills; because the children have learned about this process and then they showed the correct way, or was giving information to others on how it happens.

Dear George – I liked how so many students from the school were able to contribute to this video. I would classify this as a branching skill, since the students stepped outside of the box and was able to relay the information about the Declaration of Independence as a break-up letter to “George.”

Overall, I can see that while it might seem like posting online might be one sided, there is actually several different categories or skills that it can fall into. Along with the 4-2-2, these videos show how technology can be used by children to relay information to others. I think that the children were all older, and were capable to understand what they were doing on the internet and they knew what they wanted to convey.

Slip of the Tongue uses reproduction skills. The student used a poem that had already been written, and reproduced it as a video so there would be a visual to go with the poem.

Christopher Farm News uses information skills. It is a newsletter that discusses what they have learned, what they have been doing, what is coming up, and has ads. I think this is a great idea for homeschool students because not only does it allow them to keep other up to date with what they have been learning and doing, but also allows them to be more like a regular classroom.

Facebook in First Grade, I think, uses both socio-emotional skills and information skills. It uses socio-emotional skills by allowing children and their parents to in contact with each other during the school day, by allowing teachers and parents to praise and encourage children, and by allowing children to praise and encourage each other. It uses information skills by allowing all parties involved to share information. I think this is the best use of social media I have seen used for a class. I think this is a great way to create a community within the classroom that is extended outside of the classroom.

Kids’ Cell Division Claymation, I would say, uses reproduction skills. It is taking the knowledge the students have learned and reproduced the information into a visual. It used clay to recreate the cell division process and used video to show the process.

Dear George, I think, uses reproduction skills. The students used information previously learned to create something new. I think this video was awesome and very creative.

I think each of these relates to our 4-2-2 because they each show how technology can be used in a very constructive way in schools. They show that, while it is good to keep low-tech forms of teaching and learning in schools, technology can also be a great way for students to learn and show what they have learned, and for teachers to teach. It can also be a great way for families, students, and teachers to all remain involved in students’ learning.

They all used some type of digital literacy skill.  Slip of the Tongue was an amazing use of words. They used reproduction skills in this video and did a really good job of doing so. They made words and evens that we use every day, have a new meaning. Christoper Farm News was a joy to experience. I think they used the informational skills because they had different information to use in different ways. I love how they used different people to show the information to use. Facebook in First Grade was Sociology-emotional skills. This one got to me a lot because I have one in school. I think the was they communicated with the children and parents was a great way for children to learn about media. Kid's Cell Division Claymation was reproduction skills because they are using old information into a new and fun way. They are taking it and putting a new meaning to it. Dear George was fantastic. I think they used reproduction skills because they are taking information they now about and using it in a new and fun way. They make it meaningful to them and what their cause is.
I think that after watching these topic it shows me just how much technology can be used in everyday lifes and in an educational level. They used the digital world to engaged in their educational projects. I think that technology is a fun and new was for children to learn about preexisting events in schools and takes learning to a new level for children.

Each one of these used a digital literacy skills.  The claymation video did a good job of using reproduction skills to show us something that they already knew and made it into a video. Slip of the tounge used photo-visual skills by using the poem and putting a video to it an acting it out.  The everyone deserves a shot video is branching out showed how technology can be used to help people with disabilities and allows us to see thinks through someone else's eyes.  The facebook in first grade I really enjoyed!  I would say this is socio-emotional because they are communicating with parents and other school officials.
I think this relates to the 4-2-2 because it show how much kids (and people) can do with technology. Its not just for gaming and can be used to get some really good points across and keep people communicating like in the facebook video.

1) Slip of the Tongue:
I think this used reproduction skills because it utilized digital reproduction to create new, meaningful materials from preexisting ones.
2) Christopher Farm News:
I think this used information skills because it discussed the validity of information. It had ads, and provided information.
3) Facebook in First Grade:
I think this would use socio-emotional skills because they are using rules that prevail in cyberspace and applying that in online cyberspace communication. It may also use reproduction skills because they are making digital reproductions of things they learned in class.
4) Kids' Cell Division Claymation:
I think this also uses reproduction skills because they are taking information they learned and creating new meaningful materials.
5) Dear George:
I think this uses reproduction skills by making a digital reproduction to create new, meaningful materials from preexisting ones.
*How these topics relate to the 4-2-2 readings:
I think these topics just go to show how technology can be used in to an educational advantage. These children were engaged and involved in their projects that used digital literacy skills. Additionally, there were several other skills taught through these projects. Technology is a great way to incorporate new learning materials in a fun, interactive manner.

"Slip of the tongue" was an example of reproduction skills. They used a pre-existing poem to make a film that was relevant to them.
I am not really sure which category the home school newsletter falls into. It was clearly original content and seemed to be based on things in their life. Some of the poems seemed to be plays on original nursery rhymes so maybe a little of reproduction skills. Honestly I am unsure.
The Facebook page for first graders may have been the best use of Facebook I have witnessed.  It was amazing to see how involved the parents seem to be. I could almost see the excitement in the children's faces while reading their posts. I think they are learning Socio-Emotional skill in a really engaging manner.
I feel like the claymation and the "Dear George" both seem like Reproduction skills. I don't really see them fitting into any of the other categories. They also took something pre-existing and made it there own. I could be completely off base but that was the way I perceived them.
I think the videos were almost a contrast to the articles we read. I feel like the Silicon Valley article was almost anti-technology and the Growing up Wired was a very pro-technology. The different examples seemed to almost be a little of both. I would consider that a little more common than the two article extremes. In the videos technology was used to build on what they already knew (or read) and enhancing it. I felt that the videos also helped the students think out of the box. For example everyone learns about the stages of mitosis but how many people get to build and film it. The building and filming probably committed more of the steps to memory than reading it. I would like to think that most classrooms are a solid mix between the two articles and fully utilized some of the things demonstrated in the videos.

Just going to be really straightforward here and state the digital literacy(ies) that each example appeared to exhibit.
The "Slip of the Tongue" video definitely fits the bill for Reproduction Skills, since it took a pre-existing slam poem and created visuals.
Christopher Farm News -- which I love -- doesn't fit so neatly into any of the categories, as far as I can tell. Not so much reproduction as just production, and since the information is coming from the students' life experiences I wouldn't consider this construction of knowledge to be a demonstration of Branching Skills.
The first grade class that uses Facebook really hit me in the feels! Seeing the kids interacting with their parents during the day was so touching. These kids are practicing their Socio-Emotional Skills as they learn how to conduct themselves online.
The claymation video I am going to say is an example of Reproduction Skills, as the students are taking their knowledge of mitosis and generating new content with it.
Dear George... was great! Still uncertain of how to classify productions like this given the guidelines in the powerpoint. Perhaps Reproduction once more, since again the students are taking preexisting information and presenting it in a new form.
I think most of these uses of technology run a nice middle-ground between the tech heavy approach of Woodside High School and the more "genuine education" focus of the Waldorf schools. I think the FB page for the 1st graders in particular would be in line with some of the Waldorf parents, who recognize there's no need to teach their children how to use the internet; they'll pick it up in an instant later. But safety and online guidelines are important. Personally, this exemplifies how I feel we should use technology with young children. Teach them how to use it safely and respectfully, but have them do pretty much everything else in the classroom. Learning doesn't have to be dependent on tech.
