What this episode covers

Welcome back. Iacirc;euro;trade;ll be releasing a couple of shows back to back this week so keep listening. The other day Kathleen King co-host of Podcast for Teachers with whom I did a session at Podcamp New York sent me an e-mail to touch base, which I very much appreciate, and also to congratulate me on the upcoming 50th episode of CLIP. Iacirc;euro;trade;ll have more for you regarding how you might participate in the 50th show in an upcoming episode. For now, hereacirc;euro;trade;s your quotable quote to jump start your day. "Critical literacy, on the other hand, foregrounds the role of language in establishing and maintaining taken-for-granted, business-as-usual. It closely examines the ways in which language practices carve up the world according to certain socially-valued criteria (and not other sets of criteria); draws attention to inequities; and calls for a rethinking of theories considered "natural" or unassailable." This quote is from Critical Cyberliteracies:What Young People can Teach us About Reading and Writing the World by Michele Knobel and Colin Lankshear This was a keynote paper presented at the National Council of English Teachers' Assembly for Research Mid-Winter Conference. New York, February 22-24, 2002. If you have a quote that connects with critical literacy in some way Iacirc;euro;trade;d love to hear from you. You can e-mail your text to [email protected] Or if you are able to call in your quotes that would be even better. Leave a voice mail by calling 206-350-6204 . Produced by: Andy Bilodeau
