This document discusses digital literacies and multimodality. It includes activities for students to work with partners to define multiliteracies through snowball fights and reading key ideas written by other groups. Students also work in expert groups to create mind maps summarizing sections of assigned readings on whiteboards. An activity involves students taking a Kahoot quiz in groups after reading an article on how to teach multiliteracies. The document also covers logistics for micro teaching sign ups, online resource groups, and setting up online portfolios.
