EDUC 550 July 8, 2013 Digital Media for Education
When we use technology • We integrate multiple modes of communication and expression • This is known as MULTIMODALITY • “The use of multimodal literacies has expanded the ways we acquire information and understand concepts.”
Multimodality is based on the work of Howard Gardner, who theorized that intelligence is not inherited as a have /have-not ability. Rather, there are seven intelligences: 1. Linguistic 2. Logical-Mathematic 3. Musical 4. Bodily/Kinesthetic 5. Spatial 6. Interpersonal 7. Intrapersonal
National Education Technology Plan (2010)http://www.ed.gov/technology/netp-2010 • From USDE: calls for “applying the advanced technologies used in our daily personal and professional lives to our entire education system…” • Five goals, addressing learning, assessment, teaching, infrastructure, and productivity. • RESPECT – April,2013: http://www2.ed.gov/documents/respect/blueprint-for-respect.pdf
