“Understand the word, understand the world”
I conjecture that by 2018, a student will routinely be judged not only by her ability to write a 5-paragraph essay but her ability to represent her ideas via a 5 minute podcast, 2 minute movie, and level in an educational game.
“Teenagers (we) learn through relationship (networks)”
“Creeping Disconnection...”

To be literate, we must make meaning from all the information that is
available to us - multi-modal information
audiographical
visualtactile
symbolic/representational
Rationale : LITERACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Literacy, simply put,is about meaning-making
Quote taken from the Québec Education Program
These tools offer
affordancesfor students to making
meaning
The need to include “visual grammar” into our frameworks of literacy
It’s all about AUDIENCE

What did this globally-minded student have to say?
From a Neveh Channah student after receiving peer review from a student
from LCC:"Thank you for taking the time to read my paper. I was touched by your warm words and the gentle criticism. Yes, some of the spelling
should be edited and I didn't want to burden the reader with too many details and information....I would love to host you here in Jerusalem and to
join you personally on a walking tour through the streets of Nachlaot."
These partnerships provide opportunities for students to "be human together" (Siemens)

"From all of the work that we have done with other students, I have learned how to look over other people's work and let them edit my own.”
“From working with other students, I also learned how to be patient and not always want things to happen at the
exact moment I would like them to, but rather wait and spend more time on something to make it even better."
- Matthew, grade 7
(Metacognitive skills built)
Karen Guth - teacher at Neveh Channah School in Etzion Bloc, Israel:"I would say that this
became a project that engaged the minds, skills, and hearts of our students. It turned the English
Bagrut project into an international research, writing, thinking, and teaching opportunity."
