Transliteracy - The Conversation

I love this graphic, The Art of Listening, Learning, and Sharing for its visual impact, its simplicity and for providing examples of how to integrate a sometimes overwhelming range of platforms into classrooms and school libraries.

The idea of creating a network of colleagues to collaborate (PLN) can make the task of providing our students with the widest range of tools possible less daunting. Stay tuned as the research and testing continues!

Transliteracy

Transliteracy is defined by Sue Thomas of the Transliteracy Research Group as "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".

This concept highlights how quickly the meaning of being literate is changing.

My interest in and focus on this concept was stimulated by one of our Teacher-Librarians whose role has dramatically expanded from focusing on literacy, the ability to read, write and interact to transliteracy, which includes so much more. It is exciting and reassuring to know that in Yukon our Teacher-Librarians are working hard to incorporate new technologies into the daily lives of their students.
