Defining #WebLiteracy as we must #teachtheweb
As part of our language arts class we had to choose from a few options for a cumaltive project. I chose to work on the "flipped classroom" videos that have emerged as an instructional genre.
In the flipped model background knowledge and lecture material are delivered out of class so the work with the material can be done inside. I use the term more loosely on the class syllabus.
Basically I refer to any short video or multimodal performance designed to teach a very specific obective. These are often how-to or basic knowledge.
I chose the knowledge approach for this one (been leaning more to gifs for my how-to's). Since some of you have started to hit the Web Literacy and Language module I thought I would do a quick video on Defining "Web Literacy"

How it Was Made
Remix. I took multiple video and image sources from people explaining Web Literacy and from Web Literacy in action.
To make the video I used Mozilla's Popcorn. This is a tool dear to the heart but soon to join a the parade of old #edtech tools that had to make way for the future.
What will remain are the udnerlying skills of authoring content through remixing.
