Welcome to the Salty Chip!
-
This 'Multiliteracies' Collaborative has been developed in response to working with teachers and students as co-researchers over a number of years, at a time when our understanding of literacy has broadened to include 'texts' that go beyond the dominant print literacy to viewing literacies as plural, complex social and cultural practices. In this multiliteracies collaborative, we are interested in collectively sharing and better understanding how teachers and students create meaning in the context of using multiliteracies' activities in pursuit of learning. In many ways it is a learning ecosystem; its growth is dependent upon the community that engage with its pages. I look forward to what we can build together.
In particular, this network seeks to develop materials and resources that are uniquely Canadian. As we complete the pilot phase, we will be moving into the development of resources and lessons that feature Canadian authors, artists, scientists, historians, geographers etc. There are many exciting projects going on across the country and we want to make sure that current and future educators and students can access them easily and continue to build on the wonderful work that has been done. If you have a project that you want to share, please contribute to the Salty Chip! If you are associated with a National organization and are interested in collaborating on this effort, please contact me at khibbert@uwo.ca To check out the Salty Chip and add your contributions, go to http://saltychip.com/
