1. Why do educators need to be careful about terms like "Digital Native"?
It will group a whole generation together. It' not good to generalize.
2. What outcome occurs when young people are encourage to transform their understanding of particular topics by designing a multimodal text?
Positive outcomes. It's been shown that the learning process is enhanced.
3. You may skip the section titled "Context for the Project".
Can do
4. What was the goal of the project in terms of product?
It was to track the development of the participants' multimodal products that they generated.
5. What was the goal of the project in terms of process?
It was to gain a deeper understanding of how multimodal texts were created.
6. How were the participants for the study selected?
They were students who had worked collaboratively in pairs, who fully completed the task, and the video recordings were intact and complete.
7. Describe the task students engage is for the purpose of this study?
In 2004, it required students to evaluate possible solutions in response to the affect of plastic bags on the environment. In 2006, the study was done concerning global warming.
8. Explain how the researchers compared the student created multimodal texts?
They graded on the title slide, the grammar of the slides, and the overall expertise on the subject being presented.
9. What differences in Jenny's PowerPoint presentation do you find the most interesting?
I like the differences of her position on the topic from Year 8 to Year 10.
10. How is working together on a computer unlike working together using a pencil and paper?
It's unpredictable and the wait time from thought to typing is longer than from pencil to paper.
11. What was interesting about student's behavior as they collaborated on a task at the computer?
How students can work collaboratively while on a computer is interesting. The discussion that is done is interesting.
12. What can teacher learn about designing learning activities that involve the creation of multimodal texts from this study?
Students will adapt over time.
Students will adapt over time.
13. According the the conclusion of this study, what do student need to learn in order to successful complete a multimodal text construction?
The need time to be able to do this efficiently.
14. Are you surprised by the conclusions drawn in this study?
Yeah, sort of.
