Week Three in EDRD 619

Beginning with the building blocks of word comprehension and language comprehension being foundational for reading comprehension according to studies this week, I learned about multiliteracy concepts in reading to include frameworks of situated practice, overt instruction, critical framing, and transformed practice (Alvermann, 2017). Situated practice considers real life experience of students and immerses them in cultural and linguistic diversity. Overt instruction is somewhat of a building block technique wherein teaches sponsor student growth incrementally. Critical framing takes global diversity into account via global economic integration and may consider mediums such as websites and blogs into addition to common text. Transformed practice re-creates activities for the learner, introducing a life experience scenario.
Shifting gears a bit, I ended this week’s research asking the question how use of artificial intelligence will become a factor in multiliteracy environments.
