Final Post 6816
The work of the forester in Indonesia is a perfect example of a type of research done in the workplace. The team of scientists located a problem and researched the problems it was and could cause and solutions to fix the problem. What is impressive about this forester is how he incorporated the research of students from around the world to solve the crisis of deforestation around the world. The students were able collect data from their area and share it with real scientists! A perfect example of how new literacies can be used in the classroom. The research of the students is authentic and relevant and of course aligns with content standards. Students can get a real connection to the content they are learning.

With this posting you demonstrate a strong understanding of new literacies and how they support meaningful learning in classrooms. By meaningful I mean memorable and useful in contexts outside of school! Nice work this semester Amy! I hope you will be able to use some of the ideas and concepts discussed in this course in your classroom! Please contact me if you ever need any help implementing a new literacies project!
