Welcome to the world of critical literacy

Welcome to 4P05. May this be a real learning journey together. If you are like me you will make many mistakes and/or feel frustrated, but you will learn too. In the 21st Century we need to be teaching each other. Sometimes that means undoing previous learning and relearning. It means struggling to see new meanings. It may feel hard at times - the readings may seem difficult. The point is to see in new ways...

Hopefully the Twitter project will work for you. To join, go to Twitter.  Begin by following me. You can follow each other. And you can look up and follow anyone of professional interest. Try Henry Giroux, bell hooks or critical literacy, for example. Check the links in the blogs you read. If something is good,  post it for all to read. Use the hashtag #4P05 on your posting. You can also go to #4P05 and see what we find. Each week we will have a Twitter conversation in class to determine good readings for next classes.

You will also need a Gmail account in order to do our collaborative group reflections.

Good luck. May it be a fruitful journey for all of us.

Susan
