New Literacy: Emotional Literacy
-Must be able to identify and communication emotions in order to be able to identify your individual emotional needs.
-We communicate the degree at which our needs are being met through intensity modifiers to our emotions.
-People often miscommunicate their feelings to blend in or accomodate themselves into the norm or what is socially acceptable.
-There are many ways in which we go about miscommunicating our feelings. (Exaggeration, minimization, overuse, etc)
-90% of communication is nonverbal. This also stands true for communication of emotions through various forms of body language.
-'You' and 'I' messages- different forms of expressing emotions through messages. You messages typically break down effective communication between to people through accusatory you messages.
-Emotional Literacy- ability to recognize, understand, and appropriately express our emotions.
-Emotional literacy can be linked to social literacy and development in children.
New Technology; Scrapblog
- I am not enjoying working with the scrapblog! I feel very unfamiliar with it and it does not seem an adequate learning tool but more appropriate in online scrap booking. I am not sure how to incorporate it into this project and was possibly thinking of creating a wiki instead?

Yeah, I kind of felt the same way when I first started with the scrap blog. I didn't understand how to put much on it and it was asking me to pay for some of the resources I wanted to use. I found though that I could just start to import my own pictures. I was/am worried about some of the copyright issues because I still am confused about what is for public and what is private. I did find though that importing my own pictures was extremely beneficial in emotional literacy. It worked out great because emotional literacy deals so much with understanding and conveying emotions. If you can find pictures that clearly show emotions, it is helping make your point. I did also consider making a wiki because there is so much information. I've found though that I can just pick out the big ideas and make a page for each on the scrap blog. Do you think that would work for yours too?
ReplyDeleteCourtney,
ReplyDeleteI know that technology can sometimes be frustrating, but I think the scrapblog would be a very effective way to show emotional literacy. Through that technology you can incorporate pictures, which is a huge plus in showing different emotions instead of just having text.
If you want I could maybe try to help you :)
