For this task we were asked to change the semiotic mode of the first task, \u201cWhat\u2019s in your bag.\u201d The objective of Task 1 was to take a picture of an array of items from a bag we commonly carry and explain why we choose to transport such items. This was an ice breaker activity and an opportunity for us to introduce ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Task 7, I decided to resign this activity to make it more auditory rather than visual. If I were to use this, I would ask participants to create a sound clip using effects that describe parts of their day. Their peers would have to decipher the activity each sound represents and try to piece together a typical day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sounds in my day: I wake up, go for a run, drive to work, enjoy a cup of coffee, teach, drive home, eat dinner, watch some television, get sleepy, head to bed.<\/p>\n

For me this redesign reflects the New London Group\u2019s ideology of trying to use a more holistic approach to meaning making (NLG, 1996). Meaning is becoming increasingly multimodal in the real world and I think that it is important that other literacies, such as oral, visual, audio, gestural, tactile, and spatial are represented in education. As educators, we need to feel comfortable and confident in engaging in non dominant literacies. \u201cAs designers of meaning, we are designers of social futures, workplace futures, public futures, and community futures\u201d (p.65). If different literacies are incorporated regularly in education, then we are empowering diversity and reaching all learners.<\/span><\/p>\n
