Blog: What is your biggest takeaway from the 703 class? What’s been your favorite part of the class? Where did you struggle and what did you do to push through your struggle? How do your skills in transliteracy relate to the TPACK model?
Transliteracy is "a fluidity of movement across a range of technologies, media and contexts" (Sukovic, 2016). It is an ability to use diverse techniques to collaborate across different social groups. I have really enjoyed our 703 class. We have explored so many new things that have really got me out of my comfort zone. I always say that I am not much of a tech person, but I sure had to be in this class and I’m grateful for that. Everything from creating a logo, to making an infographic and poster, to creating and editing a video has all been very new. I don’t think that I struggled too much with anything in this class other than just finding ways to get things done. Everything was straight forward and achievable even if it was completely new. It just took a little diving into and playing with and most fell into place. When we look at TPACK, we are trying to find ways to not just implement technology in our teaching, but how technology can enhance our teaching and learning. Transliteracy and TPACK go hand in hand. Diversifying the way we teach and the way students receive information is so important. I think what is most enticing about transliteracy and TPACK is the flexibility. It seems as though there are endless possibilities in the classroom and outside where students have access to so many varying modalities of information and content. I know I have been exposed to so many in the last year just in this course. As I have been pulled to sub, I’ve realized that everyone has their own flavor of what is working. Transliteracy and the TPACK model support the 21st century learner.

AuthorMy name is Bailey Tucker. I teach Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education (APE) at Calistoga Elementary School. I have a strong passion for sports, athletics and fitness. I've been involved with sports my entire life and that is what ultimately led me to the path of teaching. I have recently obtained my APE Authorization to teach PE to students with special needs. This has been a growing passion of mine and I have immensely enjoyed working in this new field with my students. I'm looking forward to this next chapter and working towards obtaining my masters degree. Archives
