Multimodal_Writing

=CEE Colloquim - Multimodal Writing= 11:00 - 12:15 Troy Hicks >> Capturing our Words and Thoughts:
 * What do we mean by "multimodal?"
 * NCTE's Multimodal Literacy Policy Statement
 * "Because of the complexity of multimodal projects and the different levels of skill and sensitivity each individual brings to their execution, such projects often demand high levels of collaboration and teamwork."
 * "The use of multi-modal literacies has expanded the ways we acquire information and understand concepts. Ever since the days of illustrated books and maps texts have included visual elements for the purpose of imparting information. The contemporary difference is the ease with which we can combine words, images, sound, color, animation, video, and styles of print in projects so that they are part of our everyday lives and, at least by our youngest generation, often taken for granted."
