Absolutely, literacy is, almost, a synonym for understanding, a deep level of understanding. Does it mean wide as well #saskedchat

In reply to @stangea

KatieWhite426 Feb 16 @ 9:22 PM EST

Q3: Maybe by asking ourselves, "What is the language of our learning today? What do I need to do to enhance understanding?" #saskedchat

A3. Literacy has expanded beyond language - we are becoming more aware of how understanding is multi-dimensional #saskedchat

nikulak - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:22 PM EST

Agreed, but how do we have literacy in dance? If they don't understand a word, but can perform, is it still lit? #saskedchat

In reply to @hoffman_april

GartnerMel Feb 16 @ 9:23 PM EST

A1: Literacy is a person's knowledge & understanding of a specific topic/ theme #saskedchat

BKorchinski Feb 16 @ 9:23 PM EST

being able to recognize something that is worth learning about, and something that won't last the semester matters #saskedchat

A3: Get their heads of the... sand? Um, let me think? #saskedchat

kwhobbes - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:23 PM EST

kwhobbes - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:24 PM EST

.@KatieWhite426 totally agree. Changing from “this is what you need” to “what do you need” open the invitation to learning #saskedchat

In reply to @KatieWhite426

hoffman_april Feb 16 @ 9:25 PM EST

Dance allows people to connect to their emotions...to connect and make their own story...indeed literacy #saskedchat

In reply to @nikulak

Yes, there is literacy of movement and emotion and tempo and pattern. At least I think so #saskedchat

But is it literacy if they can't write it down and express it in another way? #saskedchat
