RE: [Spam:***** ] Re: [xmca] Call for Proposals and Reviewers

Monica, I would love to talk with you about your work.
I'm glad to hear others taking this direction. Some of my students have included collaborative engagements as part of their multimodal work... where the larger texts included teaching how to pitch in professional baseball and engaging in swimming competitions.
I think one of my favorite texts was recorded history of a student's 10 or so years doing accapella singing and arranging as part of a multimodal 'Zine.
I also have a colleague who has had students engage in critical media responses by applying Kress and theatre of the oppressed (Boal) to create new engagements to booking banning and banned books in high schools... these were preservice students and they created the digital stories...

>Hello from Colorado,
Sounds like a wonderful project! Monica, I really like your description
of multimodality. Given the fact that we humans mediate in multiple
means, it only seems correct to collect and analyze data from a
multiplicity of sources in our quest to understand the mind.
Best wishes,
Cathrene
