It’s amazing how simple it is to design a logo online for free, with so many options to choose from and many sites to explore. I started using freelogodesign.org to play and try to create my logo and I was happy with the variety of logo templates already available for use. I then tried logomakr.com and decided to change to this site because of how simple it was to modify within the interface. I felt like logomakr was a bit easier to use and allowed me to be more creative with my ideas. Although both sites provide a great deal of options, logomakr felt more user friendly. I liked how easy it was to resize, move objects, change color, and overall let me create a more unique logo instead of using a premade one. I spent most of my time on logomakr and decided to use this site for creating my logo. I still don’t have my final product but I like that I am able to easily recreate logos using this site. When I was exploring I simply saved the logos I created so I am not sure if I am able to save within the site and come back to them later, but I will continue to explore as I modify my current rough draft.

I’d like to think that I deliver content to my student in many different ways in order to help with their learning, but as I think of transliteracy I ask myself if I am actually transliterate in some of the forms that my students might need content delivered. I know that not all my students are transliterate in all the ways that I deliver content. When using images, videos, or text, some students will respond better to one form or another. This makes me think that as I am including more technology tools in the classroom, I need to keep in mind that not all students have the same access to learning or are able to understand and engage with content using the type of media I may be utilizing.
If I understand transliteracy correctly, incorporating transliteracy teaching methods in the classroom would allow students to connect with content in a way that fits their learning style. This might come in the form of video, audio, or images I use to teach something. It would give students a chance to communicate their learning with others in a way they understand and relate to. If one student is able to communicate what he is learning through visuals and another through oral communication but we limit them to showing their thinking to writing only, then we would not be able to use the potential that being transliterate brings to the classroom. I don’t feel like an expert in transliteracy methods, but I have been working on identifying the ways that my students interact with my methods of teaching, either positive or negative. My goal is to help my students understand content through different forms and for them to feel comfortable sharing that content and transferring what they learn with others. Hopefully they are able to transfer what they learn from a video and share it through text, verbally, or with a graphic illustration. |
