PP 107: Multiliteracies for Collaborative Learning Environments
Prerequisite: PP 100
A multiliterate teacher understands the many ways that technology interacts and intertwines with academic life, and actively learns how to gain control over those aspects impacting teaching and professional development. Multiliterate individuals are aware of the pitfalls inherent in technology while striving for empowerment through effective strategies for first discerning and then taking advantage of those aspects of changing technologies most appropriate to their situations.
These strategies include managing, processing, and interpreting a constant influx of information, filtering what is useful, and then enhancing the learning environment with the most appropriate applications.
