 * Roles:** Group Leader, Archivist 1, Archivist 2, Wordle-er,Timekeeper, Idea Contributors

//Preface:// After freewriting facilitated by Dr. Young in seminar 2, each group member should have sent their Individual Literacy Definitions & New Literacy Definitions to the Group Leader for your group. Also, your group should have created a collaborative definition for New Literacies. This too should have been saved by your Group Leader.

With this information in hand, we will proceed as follows with seminar 3 as follows:

1. Group Leader should review directions and make sure everyone has a role (perhaps more than one role depending on numbers). 2. Group Leader should pull up Word doc with definitions and sign into the wiki. To prevent overwriting on the wiki, the group should work from the Group Leader's laptop. 3. Archivist 1should review the individual definitions with the group and then copy and paste them in the appropriate categories below. Make sure names are included with the definitions. Post, click save, and then edit again. 4. Archivist 2 should review the collaborative definition with the group, make any revisions, and then copy and paste it in the appropriate section below. Post and then click save. 5. Next, the Wordle-er should open a new tab on the browser to create a New Literacies Wordle ([|http://wordle.net]) by copying and pasting your group definition into the tool. Include your group # in the title to distinguish your particular New Literacies Wordle (e.g., DV-F10 Group 2 New Lit Definition). 6. Once your Wordle is created, I encourage you to copy the URL and save it on your wiki page. 7. Next, copy the embed code from your Wordle page. Then click on the Widget button from the edit menu on your group's wiki page. From the menu on the left of the Widget options, choose the Other HTML option and paste in the embed code from your Wordle page into the text box. Click save and you will see a box that says Other Widget. Click save to save the wiki page, and you should see the Wordle you created! 8. Should you want to make the Wordle image appear larger, click on the Edit tab for your wiki page, then click on the Other Widget box -- this will give you an alignment editing box where you can increase the size by clicking the + button. Save your changes. [Note: The image can also be saved as a jpg and then inserted as an image file.] 9. At this point, we will begin the next step -- planning a short digital video, so let Dr. Y know when you're ready!
 * Directions:**


 * OUR INDIVIDUAL INITIAL LITERACY DEFINITIONS**
 * Lauren Avery: Literacy to me, means being able to comprehending //something//... Not just necessarily how to read and write. It means that you are familiar with something and understand it --for example, being media literate, being able to look at something and formulate meaning from it
 * Kay Balagtas: Literacy is the ability to read, write, and understand text and having the knowledge to process it. Literacy involves understanding knowledge gained and applying it to other aspects to become familiar with the information.
 * Wes Brown: Literacy means that you're able to understand anything that is given to you. I think it is oftentimes associated with reading and writing but I think it goes beyond that initial scope of thinking and reaches far more into a persons ability to understand a variety of topics.
 * Caroline Tucker: Literacy is the ability to read and comprehend a text and then apply the acquired knowledge in a real lie situation. Literacy means being able to read something and pass your own judgments on the content, without simply accepting what is given to you without question. Literacy is necessary in communication, because reading and writing are necessary elements
 * Hannah Wilson: Literacy is being able to read, write and speak in all thing English, or any other subject.
 * Side Notes: comprehension, content, specific knowledge in a content area


 * OUR INDIVIDUAL DEFINITIONS OF NEW LITERACIES**
 * Lauren Avery: New literacies involve computer literacy, internet literacy, technology literacy. Being computer literate would be knowing how to operate programs and use them most effectively. Internet literacy would be the ability to navigate the web and use it advantageously and have knowledge of what is out there on the web.
 * Kay Balagtas: Since society has become so dependent on technology, new literacy involves processing data from computers, electronics, and other forms of technology. New literacy can also encompass going beyond reading texts, but understanding pictures, graphics, and symbols.
 * Wes Brown: New literacies have definitely evolved into a symbol of technology. With the emergence of a variety of internet sites and computer software, it is vital for any person who wants to be successful in an evolving world to understand and be able to navigate their way through the sites. New literacies also correlate not simply with how to operate a website or any other computer program but to understand how they are useful and to be able to incorporate them into their everyday life so that they can become successful.
 * Caroline Tucker: The scope of literacy grows and evolves with every passing year due to the emergence and prevalence of technology. New literacies demand one to be able to navigate information on the internet and decipher data from different programs. Being critical of knowledge gained from these resources is crucial due to high frequency of incorrect records being submitted.
 * Hannah Wilson: A new literacy in terms of technology, means being tech savvy, understanding how to navigate and use technology to its advantages. I think this has always been a part of the education world, but I think this is new news to me in my recent years in college is to have students ask questions. Question what they are learning, what they are processing, and what they are thinking.

The scope of literacy grows and evolves with every passing year owing to the emergence and prevalence of technology. New literacies demand one to be able to navigate information on the internet and decipher data from different computer programs. Furthermore, being literate of other technologies like newly developed electronics is essential to function in a society that is progress oriented. Being critical of knowledge gained from these resources is crucial due to high frequency of incorrect records being submitted.
