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.

It sounds like you are very aware of transliteracy and want to make sure you expose your students to as many different modalities as possible. That is what teachers should be striving to do as well. Sadly some teachers are stuck in their set ways because they have been doing it for so long. But going through this program we know that teaching methods are constantly changing and we must keep trying new techniques to make sure our students succeed in the 21st century.

I agree with Mayra, it seems that you have an understanding of transliteracy and how you can utilize it to accommodate it to your students learning styles. I also think its great that you are being conscious on what forms students respond to better as it allows more creativity in how you can engage your students. The feedback that you get back from your students will definitely help in your incorporation of transliteracy.
