Presentation on tools for accessibility and universal design to help improve literacy, focusing on learning disabilities (at least in the two examples). All the tools noted are free.

Summary of a book by a professor of linguistics that examines and debunks the complaints about text messaging reducing literacy. Good collection of misconceptions about txtng with counterarguments and research.

literacy writing technology

  • Annoyingly, just as complaints about literacy multiply, along comes a technology that has promoted a renaissance in reading and writing, yet it is treated with contempt by the ‘pen and paper’ brigade. Children don’t keep diaries any more – oh yeah! Haven’t you see MySpace, facebook and blogs. They’re obsessed by diary keeping.

Looking at skills current graduates are lacking: critical thinking, problem solving, communication.

Research showing that, at least in some cases, doing two tasks at the same time is actually more efficient than doing each separately.

lifelonglearning literacy multitasking neurolearning research

  • Maybe basic skill sets for schooling should not be thought of as the 3 R's (reading, writing, and 'rithmetic), but rather beyond the memorization of facts and procedures, the efficient working of working memory and long term memory, the strategic use of brain resources for dynamic problem solving and multi-tasking, and the organization of ideas and perceptions for all types of output: verbal as well as non-verbal.

  • to teach, you have to approach an issue from all directions, and then push it up against all pressure points — text, sound, images, video.  Knowledge is a key, and the tumblers of the learners mind are nuanced.  It takes many grooves that are precisely machined, to align ideas into knowledge.
  • Quote from David Warlick, paraphrasing David Jakes
