This document discusses how teachers can better connect with "digital native" students who have grown up surrounded by technology. It recommends that teachers (1) take back control of their classrooms, (2) encourage creativity and curiosity in students, and (3) learn to communicate using the digital tools and languages that students are already fluent in, such as blogs and wikis. As an example, it introduces a wiki site created by the author to model speaking digitally for students.
Building internationally literate communitieskatieday

The document discusses the importance of building internationally literate communities through exposing children to diverse cultural literature. It provides definitions for different types of cultural literature like multi-cultural, inter-cultural, and trans-cultural literature. The best way to build internationally literate communities is to work on becoming more internationally literate ourselves by reading diverse cultural resources, then sharing opportunities to read more widely with students, teachers, and parents.

Amanda and Katie presented a program on the effects of texting and technology on communication skills to students at two Berkeley College campuses. The New York City campus also held a "Human Library" event as part of Information Literacy Month, where eight students and four staff served as "books" to discuss aspects of their identities with audience members.

Rome began as a small agricultural community in central Italy founded in 753 BC. It eventually grew into a powerful Republic that dominated the Mediterranean world. The Republic collapsed in the 1st century BC, leading to the founding of the Roman Empire in 27 BC. At its height, the Empire stretched from Britain to Egypt and Portugal to Iraq. Rome's location placed it within a cultural sphere influenced by Greek and Etruscan civilizations. The Romans developed advanced architecture, infrastructure, and systems of government that still influence Western societies today.
Rome began as a small city-state founded by Romulus and Remus along the Tiber River in Italy. It grew to become a large empire due to its strategic location along major trade routes. Rome conquered neighboring lands and expanded its territory through military campaigns. At its height, the Roman Empire stretched across Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia and had over 50 million inhabitants living under its rule. However, internal conflicts and invasions by external groups like the Visigoths eventually weakened the Western Roman Empire, leading to its collapse in 476 AD. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire continued on from Constantinople and is referred to as the Byzantine Empire.

There is no agreed upon definition of literacy as understandings of it are socially constructed. Literacy involves reading, writing, communicating, and gaining knowledge and can take many forms including cultural, informational, financial, media, scientific, critical, and digital literacies.

Establishing the library in the cultural fabric of the community -Barry Miller NCLA2011
?

The document emphasizes the importance of communication, partnerships, and offering value beyond what is expected.
The document describes a critical collage workshop for teachers focused on social issues. In the workshop, teachers identified a social issue from a book, researched it further by reading supporting and contradictory information, then created a collage representing the issue. One teacher initially chose a book but realized through further research that it appropriated Indigenous culture. Her collage represented this issue of cultural appropriation, using hands to symbolize how it hides Indigenous culture. The conclusions were that the workshop supported critical thinking skills by having teachers view issues differently, question assumptions, and take ownership of their representations through creative works.
This study examined how 30 in-service teachers positioned themselves on issues of critical literacy that were covered in their master's degree program. Teachers responded to three thought pieces on theoretically-based instruction, book censorship, and maintaining a critical stance on literacy. Their responses were coded based on four stances: teacher as conduit, advocate, professional, or teaching for critical literacy. Across the thought pieces, teachers most frequently took a professional stance. While the stance of critical literacy saw little change, fewer teachers took the stances of conduit or advocate over time. Writing longer responses, like 500-word essays, seemed to move teachers more toward a stance of critical literacy. The study suggests engaging teachers with texts on controversial topics and writing reflections can help

ºÝºÝߣ presentation in session "Children's Literature: It's Critical" called "Responses to Risky Texts" by Harste, Vasquez, Albers, & Manning, LRA Conference, San Diego, 2012
This document outlines the table of contents for a book about teaching children's literature, with recommendations to change some of the chapter titles.

The visual shows an African American girl seated rigidly in a chair in the bottom left corner, speaking in a speech bubble that extends to the top right corner symbolizing multiple sign systems.

The document discusses themes of literacy, satire, and Southern culture. It references goats with inscribed techniques, rabbits, bells, and rites. It invites the reader to a Mint Julep Housewives event under a tulip tree, noting one needs optimism to see peeling paint as hopeful. It also references the Panopticon and being watched by Quakers.
This document summarizes a study examining how teachers develop their ability to analyze underlying messages and systems of meaning in children's literature. Over the course of a year, teachers analyzed 4 books, identifying explicit and implicit messages. While they initially struggled, discussions helped them recognize more messages. The study found teachers got better at identifying explicit over implicit messages and collaboration helped. It concluded developing critical analysis skills takes long-term investment but participants became more insightful in unpacking meaning over time.
