The above quote his home, because I see it in my sister and wife, both of which are on the edge of the generation the quote discusses. They both seem to always be on their cell phones, iPads, or PCs. It's understandable, entertainment and social media are pervasive and are ever-present. The lure of always being connected is strong and in the modern age there is an abundance of free time easily wasted away with new technologies.
I chose the above image, because it shows a person constantly drawn to the workings and doings of the world. Eyes always locked onto what is happening, never looking away. Technology is pervasive and ensnaring.
#1. The Ask Anansi game supported critical literacy by requiring the students to answer riddles and problems by "reading" into the Anansi responses; requiring the students to read between the lines, use graphics to help understand the responses, and use their environment to play the game.
#2. The game required students to write a counter-narrative, create a "good story" or Anansi, and write daily field notes.
#3. The game included e-mails, texting, and phone calls to communicate with Anansi. The students were required to communicate effectively digitally to be able to complete the game off-line in the physical world. The game connects the on-line and off-line worlds together.
#4. The quote means that we must read to understand the world more, then experience the world as we see/experience it. Only then, can we possibly understand the world enough to write about it and share the world we see to others who are experiencing the world in their own ways.
