Thoughts & Confusions: Self-Fashioning and Shape-Shifting
http://thoughtsandconfusions.blogspot.com/2007/11/self-fashioning-and-shape-shifting.html
Monday, November 12, 2007. Bell hooks speaks of these differences as well in her own experiences as a teacher at both Yale with upper-middle-class students and a Harlem school with working class students. She describes the difference being that upper-middle-class students possess a sense of agency and entitlement while working class students seem to be missing this agency.

Thoughts & Confusions: First Impressions of Fecho
http://thoughtsandconfusions.blogspot.com/2007/11/first-impressions-of-fecho.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. First Impressions of Fecho. How do we encourage and support both preservice and inservice teachers to find agency through inquiry? He reminds me, too of "the value of the classroom" - and especially of the small successes. i really like how he touches the mistyness and elusiveness of those classroom moments. December 1, 2007 at 9:51 PM. What Fecho adds for me is that "critical" perspective, which makes inquiry even more attractive (and I already liked it! I like the idea, but I...

Thoughts & Confusions: Multimediating and more...
http://thoughtsandconfusions.blogspot.com/2007/11/multimediating-and-more.html
Monday, November 5, 2007. How can we improve accessbility to technology for ALL students? It seems that if we don't, we are placing these students at even more of a disadvantage later in life. I always say I'm going to write a grant, but never seem to find the time. Does it solely rest on the shoulders of teachers? I ran out of time, but I will post more later. I especially would like to discuss Chapters 6 and 8. November 10, 2007 at 4:55 PM. I notice that the teachers on my campus over the years who suc...

http://rojoag.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. I have commented on several occasions about the influence genre studies have on student composition practices. This week's articles on multimodality and student composition highlight once again the value of purposeful, authentic literacy practices in school. Monday, April 21, 2008. I have no comment. . .the link speaks for itself. Sunday, April 20, 2008. I love the above quotation. Now the question is how do we get others to buy into this way of thinking? I Am My Language (.

whatchutalkinaboutwillis?: "Is This English"
http://rojoag.blogspot.com/2007/12/is-this-english.html
Monday, December 3, 2007. Taking an inquiry stance in the classroom provides students the opportunity to become active seekers of knowledge. I liked Fecho's extension of Rosenblatt's transactional theory from reading books to "reading" people. We transact with one another, shaping and being shaped by the experience. In classrooms where teachers are willing to take risks and ask challenging questions where no absolute answer exists students become meaning makers and identity shapers. Randy's Del.icio&...

Monday, April 14, 2008. Kamler, Blackburn, Martino. In the Blackburn article, I find it ironic that a group who combated prejudice reproduced marginalization within their organization. I think this article highlights how in any social group power is distributed unequally between its participants. Social capital is an limited resource and frankly, I posit that it may be impossible to avoid this unequal distribution (especially in the American culture). Through Blankburn's.
