Sharing experiences and seeking alternatives
Kist (2001) lists the features of classrooms where new literacies are embraced in an endeavour to trace teachers who are effectively including new literacies as ‘part of the curriculum and daily life.’ New literacy classrooms feature:
• Ongoing, continuous use of multiple forms of representation
• Explicit discussion of symbol usage, past and present
• Students in ongoing meta-dialogues in an atmosphere of cognitive pluralism
• A balance of individual and collaborative activities
• Evidence of student engagement
• A balance of choice and collaborative activities
• Work centered around projects
• Evidence of a breakdown of traditional teacher and student roles
