Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of any postings for week 2. I was away for a wedding and my dads 60th and had no access to the internet.
I have found week 3 really interesting. I found the topics visuality and literacies covered in our core readings very thought provoking. Focusing on the reading I found Kress pretty hard going, I’m usually ok with academic papers but this took a few reads. Thomas on the other hand I enjoyed reading immensely. I found her notions on Transliteracy and lifeworldsinteresting and inspiring (so much so I have chosen these topics for my artefact in week four)
I tried to focus my Lifestream this week around the theme of literacies and transliteracy. I came across www.Transliteracy.com a site devoted to all things transliteracy based. There are a number of readings on there which proved to be very useful in further understanding the topic area. I also posted into my Lifestream a conference paper from Sue Thomas (author of one of the core readings “Transliteracy: Crossing divides”). This paper reports on the Transliteracy conference.
