PETE&C w/ DEN

...a day of technology at the Pennsylvania Educators Techology Expo & Conference (PETE&C) with Discovery Educators Network (DEN)

Below is a brief outline, or brain dump as I like to call it, of the information I experienced during the preconference event.




Jason Ohler Keynote Speaker - Introduction

Key Learnings:
1. Screasle = screen + easle
2. students need to be able to write what they can read
3. ...

Web 1.0 (few writers, lots of readers)
Web 2.0 (more readers and writers, but too much information)
Web 3.0 (read, write, paint, think)

VDT (visually differentiated text)

Jason's 9 Dig Lit action guidelines
1 - shift from text centricism
2 - value writing more than ever
3 - art the next R...(multimedia, photostory, etc. is the new art)
4 - Follow DAOW of literacy (DAOW of literacy...art, digital, dawo, oral, written)
5 - attitude is the aptitude
6 - practice private and social literacy
7 - develop literacy about digital tools
8 - fluency, not just literacy (don't be the techy..be the guide on the side to help others)
9 - harness both report and story...embrace story!
(you don't need a lot of money to do this..work with what you have b/c this is what you have and you don't need $...it forces you to focus on the story)

Green Screening example: (zoom in to see the girl standing in front of a picture she drew)



-use the talents they have (garage band songs...rock band...guitar hero songs they've made it up on their own....set those songs to credits that role after their stories end)
-again having the kids own their stories (just like writing research supports)


JASON DOES NOT STORYBOARD....a good way to make a boring story flow
-mapping vs. boarding (emotional flow vs flow of emotion)
