Session Type: Symposium
This symposium delves into the session theme by asking what are the “historic possibilities of connectivity and collaboration” – considering specifically how new technologies can help connect educators and youth cross-culturally. In bringing together literacy researchers who study how teachers/students digitally connect in deliberative educational enterprises across geographic and cultural differences and distances, this session examines a range of challenges and opportunities afforded by networked technologies for connecting people in purposeful educational inquiry, particularly how these new forms of connection and collaboration can reproduce or exacerbate as easily as challenge and address educational inequities. Presenters examine these online educational collaborations through the lens of multiliteracies (New London Group, 1996) to understand how linguistic diversity and multimodal representations shape these collaborative enterprises.
