Assignment #10

The key terms that I noted on my assignment #9 were D2L (Desire to Learn), thought process, critical interpretation, research applications, and technology.

The sources that I looked up from Lewis and Fabos were:

Beach R. & Lundell D. (1998) Early Adolescents' use of computer-mediated communication in writing and reading.
Online Google search/found source
Instant messaging, Literacies , and Social Identities
I was able to "see" the source, but could not get farther than the list of articles.

Bigum C. (2002) Design Sensibilities, Schools, and The New Computing and Communication Technologies.
Online Google search
Clicked on Deakin University Research Services Division
Clicked on "Publications Collection"
Still could not click on or read the article.

Lankshear C., and Knobel M. (2003) New Literacies: Changing knowledge and classroom learning.
Online Google search
Took me to Amazon.com
I was able to click on book "New Literacies" and view the pages.

Kelner,D (2002) New Media and New Literacies: Reconstructing Education for the New Mellinium
Google took me to Entrepreneur. com
Unsuccessful. I once again took me to page with several articles, but couldn't click on any of them.

I had great success however, locating my "external sources" from my own paper.

I found the D2L website. D2l.com
Great resource, lots of information re: this type of technology for learning.

I then Googled: Computer Technology and Learning
The website took me to "Technology Impact on Learning"
This website was also very helpful. It took me to several links about different aspects of computer technology"s impact on learning.
One link I found helpful was, "How does technology enhance student's achievements"
This website would have tied in with Lewis and Fabos' research very well.

Googled : Computer technology and critical thinking
I went to "The role computer technology in teaching critical reading"
Again I was given several links in which to choose.
A couple that I found to be very interesting were:
Critical Reading Process that Computer Aided Technology Can Support
An Example of Computer Mediated Instruction. Sally Rings PhD
This would have been helpful in Carr's piece.
