ProjectClick on my videos to see my Deep Play Group video journals introducing and elaborating on my learning about multimodal composition. Group goal: To use multimodal composition such as podcasts, blogs, collages, video, audio essays, comic strips, storyboards and animation for teaching and learning to increase student engagement. Individual goal: To use multimodal composition in 6th grade earth science curriculum as performances of understanding. |
