Learning Activities that I think enrich and broaden a students understanding of both Old and New Literacies

I think that all of the activites have been very beneficial to the understanding of New Literacies and incorporating the Old literacies as well.  The one that I particulary liked was the magazine cover we designed, as an art education major I liked including all of the visuals and having creative license to create.  The NETS that this follows I believe would be the Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.  Just as the title says 'design and develop' is exactly what we did when making the digital magazine covers.  This activity goes well with students being taught how to analyze pictures and what they are trying to convey to the audiance.  These particular images used, were suppose to convey ideas of teachers who had won teacher of the year; by placing an appropriate picture of ourselves and using words and images to convey what we thought about teaching and how one might go about using their experiance in a classroom.  I believe that this assignment would help teach both literacies by teaching students how to use tools in technology and use thier perceptive skills of the everyday world to deciefer the images.
