3 Overview of Innovative Instruction & Technology Grant (IITG)
Collaborative project: University at Albany & Empire State College Adapts Metaliteracy Badging System to produce a customized badge for teacher education programs Includes a suite of resources for higher education faculty and K-12 educators interested in metaliteracy and digital badging Enhances students’ ability to participate successfully and responsibly as digital citizens Foregrounds exciting disciplinary overlaps between literacy studies and metaliteracy Will be available to all interested SUNY institutions IITG Project Page

4 A Three Stage Plan Refine: Create: Share:
Add features to scale the system for customized use by other disciplines and institutions. Create: Create discipline-specific Metaliteracy badges for teacher education programs Share: Create The Educator's Corner and a K-12 conference on digital badging.

5 Refine

6 “Metaliteracy expands the scope of traditional information skills (determine, access, locate, understand, produce, and use information) to include the collaborative production and sharing of information in participatory digital environments (collaborate, participate, produce, and share)” (p. 1). Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners (Mackey and Jacobson, 2014).

7 “Metaliteracy promotes critical thinking and collaboration in a digital age, providing a comprehensive framework to effectively participate in social media and online communities.” Thomas P. Mackey and Trudi E. Jacobson “Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy” College & Research Libraries. January :62.

8 Four Domains of Metaliteracy
Metacognitive: what learners think about their own thinking—a reflective understanding of how and why they learn, what they do and do not know, their preconceptions, and how to continue to learn Cognitive: what students should know upon successful completion of learning activities—comprehension, organization, application, evaluation Behavioral: what students should be able to do upon successful completion of learning activities—skills, competencies Affective: changes in learners’ emotions or attitudes through engagement with learning activities Mackey and Jacobson (2014) Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners

9 Mackey and Jacobson (2014) Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners

10 Metacognition “The use of the term metaliteracy suggests a way of thinking about one’s own literacy. To be metaliterate requires individuals to understand their existing literacy strengths and areas for improvement and make decisions about their learning” (p. 2). Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners (Mackey and Jacobson, 2014).

18 Digital Citizenship Create a discipline-specific Digital Citizen badge for teachers in a graduate education program. Critical area of knowledge, both K- 12 and beyond International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards SUNY Task Force on Social Media Responsibility No one’s responsibility to teach in some depth Teaching graduate students who will then teach at K-12 level a double benefit

19 Digital Citizenship for Educators
Customization Features Rubrics Templates Guides Pilot for future collaborations for Educators

20 Digital Citizenship for Educators
Quest #1: Exploring Children’s Media Literacy and Digital Literacy Practices Quest #2: Creating a Digital Citizenship Curriculum in K- 6 Education Culminating Project: Multi- Media Resources for the Classroom

21 Share

22 Educator’s Corner A suite of open online resources for SUNY faculty who are interested in implementing the metaliteracy badges in their courses and programs.

23 K-12 Summer Conference (August 25th)

26 LEARNING PATHWAYS Image Source: Concentricsky.com

27 Learning Pathway Goals
Integrate mechanisms for customizing and remixing metaliteracy content according to disciplinary themes; ​ Extend and apply metaliteracy concepts to specific disciplines, programs and courses with customized metaliteracy “tokens;” ​ Model potential applications of the Metaliteracy Badging System that will facilitate use by all SUNY faculty members.

28 Pathway Builder

29 Fostering Collaboration
Shared responsibility between librarian and disciplinary instructors​ Informative vs. prescriptive -- conversation starters​ Illustrates the many facets of metaliteracy​ Openness to new content - seeing where collaborations lead​

30 Lessons Learned Collaborations may find you if you promote your project to diverse groups Look for points of congruence—start conversations Flexibility is the key

31 Lessons Learned Money helps More money helps more

32 Lessons Learned Allow for more time: it will take longer than expected
How does that affect collaboration? Have a plan B

33 Lessons Learned About Collaborative Venture
Course integration has to be: Well-planned Valued Integrated into an overall system of content Pilot Classes: ELTL 500: Classroom Literacy Instruction ELA Methods Class
