It is interesting to look at the many ways that multi-modal literacy can be used in education. Ironically enough a question from last weeks assignment has me seriously thinking about the entire multi-modal concept. What are the challenges of integration? TIME! It takes time, energy, and creative to plan, develop, and create multi-modal pieces.
I have a library science background so I was intrigued with this presentation developed by the Alberta Library Association. The piece dates to 2005 and much of what it address is still relevant, but it also expresses the importance of timeliness.
With multi-modal interaction, the days of a teacher creating a lesson and pulling it out of the filing cabinet year after year is gone. It is not possible to retain the same lesson in exactly the same format for many years, technology changes will not allow an educator to relax and rely on past projects.
