Abstract
Presentation Abstract: Today new generations use a variety of mediums to communicate and form communities of interest outside the classroom. There is an obvious disconnect between current educational practices and what the students are exposed to in their daily lives. New technologies provide new ways of connecting to people all around the world with text, photos, audio and video. This interactive and participatory presentation is based on a cluster course which integrated social software (i.e.blogs, wikis, instant messaging) and Personal Response System to foster connectivity among the students, faculty and three different course objectives. The course focused on the role of multiliteracies (i.e. numerical, information, geographical and media literacy) through the lens of multiculturalism; addressed academic excellence and equity by integrating new literacies and interactive technologies; and explored the power of educational media and technologies in improving literacy and research skills. This session provides creative strategies and possibilities for integrating new technologies; describes students' reactions, discoveries, and experiences; and showcases their multilingual and multicultural online projects and digital stories. We outline a wide range of meanings students associated with social interaction technologies; impact of online activities in the curriculum; the ways in which students integrated new media and technologies into their projects; and how they gained alternative points of view on educational media and renewed interest and commitment to new media literacies. ...
