"Basically, transliteracy is concerned with what it means to be literate in the 21st century. It analyzes the relationship between people and technology, most specifically social networking, but is fluid enough to not be tied to any particular technology. It focuses more on the social uses of technology, whatever that technology may be" (https://librariesandtransliteracy.wordpress.com/beginners-guide-to-transliteracy/).
1) Prezi introduction to Transliteracy for classroom share 6/14/17: https://prezi.com/view/UV3X1LTIyQoQPIyGvmYK/ 2) Google forms: My experience: I'm grateful to have a class set of chromebooks that allows me to assess my students formatively (weekly quiz) and cumulatively (final exam). My process: create a google doc quiz. Share the link to my website wcw.schoolloop.com/colbyhawkins, publish it to my app, 'Mr. Hawkins,' and assign the assessment via Google Classroom. Once students complete the assessment I use the add-on, "Flubaroo" to have the data graded against my answer key. I've used google forms to organize parent volunteers, maintain financial records, collaborate with colleagues, for students to collaborate with peers/complete activities, and to embed links in my emails to my site's administration and staff members to allow them to comment, edit, or view requested work materials. Do google forms come naturally to users? For most working-class professionals, there may be a small learning curve. The ability to customize google forms to complete custom/tailored objectives for work, as an example, will be learned within a couple of hours. Finding add-ons, and customizing google forms with more powerful tools may be a never ending learning and searching process. One add-on I found helped me send individualized-bulk emails out to hundreds of student recipients at once using google sheets! 3) Logos I enjoy elegant simplicity. A logo that is 'too busy,' or cluttered, or doesn't relate in ANY way to the brand, the product, or the idea of a company aren't as beneficial as logos that have simple, compatible color choices, a correct amount of visual complexity, and is unique.
