windows into their own reading processes that can be shared with others; you cannot see someone else’s reading, but you can see their art” (Nash, 2018) Considering a variety of modes working together, allowed for interpretation of content on a deeper level. Poetry can be challenging at times to comprehend and an interpretation helps to better understand meaning when broken apart and thought about.

As we transition from “writing to learn” to “multimodal composing-to-learn” (Smith, 2019), these modes can allow personal connections and relay a bigger message  (Leland et al., 2015). This project encouraged creativity and collaboration and can be used in elementary classrooms. ]]> 2023-07-07 01:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cloenm/puj3pzq62pafb1xy/wish/2640025393 Digital Narrative Project cloenm https://padlet.com/cloenm/puj3pzq62pafb1xy/wish/2640026278 This was my favorite project! I was able to express the meaning of my story through text, speech, visuals, images, transitions, and sound, into my digital storytelling project (Vu et al., 2019). I had the capability to explore and try different modes in order for my audience to make connections and understand on a more personal level. “Students need opportunities to develop agency and ownership in learning, and we believe that this is one way that all students can highlight their particular talents, abilities, and interests (O’Byrne, & Pytash, 2017).”]]> 2023-07-07 01:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cloenm/puj3pzq62pafb1xy/wish/2640026278 A Domain of One's Own cloenm https://padlet.com/cloenm/puj3pzq62pafb1xy/wish/2640026675 Looking back on the work I have completed this semester, I have gained a lot of knowledge for myself as a teacher in order to benefit my future students. It has encouraged me to do my own learning, try new resources, collaborate with others, interpret and share stories. I am able to self reflect on the things I have done well, feedback I have received, and my new understandings. I will forever be a life long learner. “The purpose of education is to prepare students for their future” (Youtube, 2018).]]> 2023-07-07 01:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cloenm/puj3pzq62pafb1xy/wish/2640026675
