The logo making process was surprisingly simple. I ended up using the first site I visited, which was, https://logomakr.com/. As soon as I saw the tutorial video I started playing around with it and started creating the logo. I wanted something simple that could get my point across. Since my capstone has to do with bilingual transliteracy I chose to use a brain with two arrows coming out and going in opposite directions. The arrows represent the information processed in English and Spanish. I also used the words bilingual and transliteracy in the logo. The site was very simple to use and it was so easy to pick different colors and resize it, I would definitely recommend this site.

Transliteracy was a concept I had not really heard of before joining this master's program. I came to learn that transliteracy means brining reading, writing, math, science, and technology together and giving all students equal access. I find myself constantly thinking about transliteracy when I plan my lessons, like how can I include a little bit of science and technology with the current reading piece. When I incorporate transliteracy methods in my class I see more student engagement. I am using a lot of GLAD strategies that has transliteracy methods embedded in it. For example I like to start the new reading unit with a pictorial of the main character and the visual of drawing the character in-front of them really gets their attention. As the days go by I go back to the pictorial and start adding student input of specific character traits. The visuals help those visual learners better understand the reading lesson. GLAD strategies really help all students better understand the content. The CCD chart is a graphic organizer that I like to use for my vocabulary and really helps students. It's more than just the word and definition. It includes prediction, picture, actual definition, and oral sentence. I also use chants that include new vocabulary and the chant helps those audio learners. GLAD strategies include a variety of different modalities in which children are exposed to new information in all different subject areas. Thus using strategies such as GLAD strategies is helping all my students across the subject areas. Transliteracy is essential in 21st century teaching because as educators we must try to help all of our students understand and connect to our lessons and we must use various modalities to get them there. |
