    © Copyright 2019 Alison Cardinal i How Literacy Flows and Comes to Matter: A Participatory Video Study Alison Cardinal A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Anis Bawarshi, Chair Emma Rose Juan Guerra Nancy Bou Ayash ii Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English University of Washington Abstract How Literacy Flows and Comes to Matter: A Participatory Video Study Alison Cardinal Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Anis Bawarshi Department of English Using participatory video methods, an intersectional feminist methodology, this dissertation offers a visual portrait of how university students’ literate activity matters and moves. Drawing on the video and audio data 18 university students created over the course of four years, this study investigates how students’ literacies flow as they physically move across the shifting contexts of school, home, community, and work. Through video production, student collaborators showed how they create meaning and connection between and within unstable literate landscapes through their emergent material/discursive practices of writing, reading, communicating, and translating. This study also explores how these literacy flows are regulated iii and valued as they move and how the persons who use them come to matter. In this study, three key findings emerge: 1) Feminist and anti-oppressive research methods, such as participatory video, open up space for participants to negotiate their racial and gendered representations, giving them control over how they matter and what they create matters to the discipline 2) Through the process of filming, literacies emerge as mattering, both in how they materialize and hold personal significance.

  • ICT in the Early Years (Learning and Teaching with Information
    ITC IN THE EARLY YEARS Mary Hayes and David Whitebread ● How can computers and other ICT applications be most effectively used to support learning in early years settings? ● Why is it important that young children use ICT in ways which are O playful, creative and explorative? ● What research has been carried out about young children using computers and ICT, and what does this tell us? PEN ICT in the Early Years carefully considers the potential of ICT to provide opportunities for young children to learn through playful and creative activities, examining research and practice in relation to the educational uses of ICT with young children. The book raises important issues about teaching in the early years using ICT, such as giving pupils control, co-operative working, access and assessment. U In addition, it: McGraw - HillMcGraw Education ● Recounts recent research evidence ● NIVERSITY Provides practical ideas for early years teachers ● Provokes debate about the future of ICT in early years education The book’s focus is on research outcomes, viewed through discussion of practical classroom approaches, with the pupil viewed as a competent learner and assessor. Emphasis is placed on creative and playful aspects of ICT, with the child as an active agent authoring, experimenting, and creating, rather than passively receiving. ICT in the Early Years is essential reading for teachers and teachers in training, and is also of use to other associated professionals, such as classroom assistants, home educators and nursery teachers. Parents with an interest in the use of technology in education will also find the book of genuine interest.

  • What Do Computer Games Have to Do with Libraries and Learning?
    What do computer games have to do with Libraries and learning? How to engage and connect learners of different age groups and with different interests using computer games as the vehicle for learning. Marie O’Brien Manager Library Services ELTHAM College of Education Australia Two teachers have undertaken a project in which year five and six students design computer games and year ten to twelve students build them. The younger students are taught basic flow diagram techniques and thus patterns of logic. They then select a topic of personal interest for their game design. The game is in the form of a quest for the player and must contain material that has been researched using Library resources. The complete, fully documented game designs are passed to the senior Information Technology students who produce them. All students are fully and formally accredited for their work. Introduction Games have been played for as long as human kind has existed and have been used in educational settings for many years as a means of engaging students with learning. In the latter half of the 20th century computer games began to appear in the public arena at a time when advances in technology saw the advent of the microchip, and the subsequent emergence of the personal computer onto the world market. Since then computer programmers have progressed from being generic programmers to working in specialized areas of programming, one of which is gaming. “Since the invention of computers, computer games have been a popular form of entertainment. Children and adults have enjoyed playing computer games and do so now on a massive scale” (Denny).

  • A Case Study of First Grade Meaning Making In
    A CASE STUDY OF FIRST GRADE MEANING MAKING IN A TECHNOLOGY RICH ENVIRONMENT A Dissertation Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Jaclyn Prizant Gordon May, 2009 A CASE STUDY OF FIRST GRADE MEANING MAKING IN A TECHNOLOGY RICH ENVIRONMENT Jaclyn Prizant Gordon Dissertation Approved: Accepted: ______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Department Chair Dr. Evangeline Newton Dr. Bridgie A. Ford ______________________________ ______________________________ Co-Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Ruth Oswald Dr. Cynthia Flynn Capers ______________________________ ______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Sandra Spickard-Prettyman Dr. George R. Newkome ______________________________ ______________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. Harold M. Foster ______________________________ Committee Member Dr. Jacqueline Peck ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe first grade meaning making in a technologically rich classroom environment and to explore the ramifications of technology on early literacy learners. Currently, few in depth research studies have examined meaning making in a technologically rich classroom setting, especially with first grade students in an urban setting. Over the past 50 years, the literacy community has investigated issues central to the meaning making process, including whether meaning resides solely in the text or in a transactional relationship between the text, reader, and the context. Today this sociopsycholinguistic view of meaning making supported through a constructivist theoretical framework has been further impacted by technology and the new literacies. In response to the growing force of technology in the lives of young students, this study wanted to describe literacy behaviors of these students by documenting student behaviors as they engaged and interacted with a range of literacy activities.

  • Post-Literacy: Designing Writing Curricula Around Emerging Literate Activities
    POST-LITERACY: DESIGNING WRITING CURRICULA AROUND EMERGING LITERATE ACTIVITIES George Bret Bowers A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2013 Committee: Dr. Kristine L. Blair, Advisor Dr. Lan Li Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Lee Nickoson Dr. Sue Carter Wood ii ABSTRACT Dr. Kristine L. Blair, Advisor This dissertation, titled “Post-Literacy: Designing Writing Curricula around Emerging Literate Activities,” focuses on the integration of digital and multimodal literacies in first-year writing curricula. This dissertation situates itself among other scholarship in new literacies, such as the work of Gee, Selfe and Hawisher. Using an Actor-network theory (ANT) methodology, this project focuses on indentifying and describing how digital and multimodal literacies are being used throughout one first-year writing curriculum Additionally, it identifies who is using these literacies, and where these digital/multimodal literacies are being incorporated into the writing curriculum. The primary research methods used in this study were largely ethnographic, specifically site conversations, observations, and artifact collection. Based on the work of Bruno Latour and other ANT scholars, I articulated and translated the actors most apparent in the emergence of digital and multimodal composition within the first-year writing curricula at the site studied. Based on my findings, I trace literacy as network and give specific recommendations on how to best use and incorporate digital and multimodal literacies in college writing curricula. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout this process the members of my dissertation committee—Dr. Kris Blair, Dr. Lee Nickoson, Dr.

To be successful in a changing economy, students must learn to think algorithmically and computationally, to solve problems with varying levels of abstraction. These computational thinking skills have become so integrated into social function as to represent fundamental literacies. However, computer science has not been widely taught in K-12 schools. Efforts to create computer science standards and frameworks have yet to make their way into mandated course requirements. Despite a plethora of research on digital literacies, research on the role of computational thinking in the literature is sparse. This conceptual paper proposes a three dimensional framework for exploring the relationship between computational thinking and literacy through: 1) situating computational thinking in the literature as a literacy; 2) outlining mechanisms by which students’ existing literacy skills can be leveraged to foster computational thinking; and 3) elaborating ways in which computational thinking skills facilitate literacy development.

    Taking Flight: Assembling, becoming, queering 10th International Deleuze Studies Conference Individual Abstracts and Biographies in Alphabetical Order Panels Roundtables Keynotes Name: Larissa Drigo Agostinho Affiliation: University of São Paulo-Brazil Title: The wolf-man: sex and sexuality Abstract: We present a comparison between distinct readings (Freud, Lacan and Deleuze & Guattari) of the wolf man case in order to explain the deleuzo-guattarian's critiques of psychoanalysis and, consequently, the technical and theoretical limits of it. The following questions will be addressed: the centrality of the Oedipus complex in psychoanalysis, the castration in Freud and its meanings and limitations, and finally the qualitative character of the libido. The purpose of this paper is to present some of the main theses of schizoanalysis and to expose the relevance of a renewed concept of the unconscious to the understanding the relation between desire, politics and social life. Bio: Larissa Drigo Agostinho holds a doctorate in French literature from the Université de Paris IV- Sorbonne (2015) and a masters history of philosophy from the Université de Paris-I Panthéon- Sorbonne (2011). She has taught philosophy at ESPM, São Paulo-Brésil (2016) and is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of São Paulo, working on Deleuze & Guattari, financed by FAPESP. Name: Ovidiu Anemtoaicei Affiliation: HECATE Publishing House Title: Masculinities, Male Bodies and Sexual Difference: a Sketch for an Impossible “Becoming-man” Abstract: In this paper, I offer an answer to the question of what is means to think about men and masculinities through the philosophy of sexual difference as developed by Luce Irigaray, employing Gilles Deleuze’s own understanding of critique and making the case for a concept of becoming-man as an expression of this answer.

  • Post-Script Competing Literacies and the Politics of Video Game Trailers
    Post-Script Competing Literacies and the Politics of Video Game Trailers A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Michael R. Moore, B.S. Washington, D.C. May 2008 Abstract Video game trailers are simultaneously scrutinized and overlooked. Both game fans and the gaming industry invest huge amounts of time and money into video game trailers, yet few outside the community pay notice. Media critics, film critics, and game studies scholars have little to say about video game trailers. This critical oversight has political consequences. To paraphrase Langdon Winner, our understanding of new media and new technology affects our lived experience of that media and technology. And as modern technology continues to outpace itself, society struggles to navigate an ever larger pool of new cultural forms. Looking specifically at video game trailers, I argue that audiences approach new media through both formal history and social literacy. Using Lisa Kernan’s work on film trailers as a guide, I trace a history of the trailer from pre-cinematic appeals, to motion picture previews, and finally to video game trailers. Comparing film trailers to game trailers, I argue that game trailers often offer audiences greater interpretive flexibility. Following Gee’s work on video games and semiotic domains, I argue that audiences read game trailers through particular affinity groups. Moreover, as Gee emphasizes, these readings are inherently political. Building on Jenkins’ work with fan communities, I look at the political implications of competing literacies.

  • The Affective Factors That Influence a Child's
    1 THE AFFECTIVE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE A CHILD’S EMERGENT LITERACY SKILLS AND BEHAVIORS by Taylor Gawron A Thesis/Project Capstone Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Education Literacy Birth to Grade 12 Department of Language, Learning and Leadership At the State University of New York at Fredonia Fredonia, New York August 2018 EMERGENT LITERACY SKILLS 3 ABSTRACT Emergent literacy is a child’s knowledge of reading and writing skills before they learn how to read and write words. This skill should be continued to be monitored through the transition from kindergarten to first grade. There are affective factors that affect a child’s emergent literacy skill, self-efficacy, motivation, attitude and family factors. It is important for parents and guardians to be educated on what emergent literacy is and what they can do to support and enhance their child’s skills and behaviors. As a result, a curriculum project was developed to present to a wide variety of school districts for parents to develop a better understanding of what emergent literacy is and what factors can influence their child’s skill and behaviors. Also, this website will provide ideas and activities for parents to help to enhance their child’s skill and support their learning.
