Disruption: The Role of Image in Communication

“We’re tiptoeing into a potentially very deep and interesting new way of communicating."-Mitchell Stephens

Alphabetic print-based test is losing prominence in the ways we communicate in the New Media Age.

In this picture, we see kites flying high above us in the clouds. This can be compared to alphabetic print-based test losing prominence. Just as the kites are still in view, so is the alphabetic print-based test. A kite it hard to reel back in and this can be said of the print-based tests. With newer technology evolving, the older things are going to be hovering above us just as a kite and even more difficult to bring back. 

Introduction

I am originally from Moorefield, WV but moved to Dunmore when I married my wonderful husband in April 2014. I began substitute teaching and loved it. I was offered a job at Pocahontas County High School and couldn't turn it down. I truly enjoy working with all the students.

From this class, I hope to gain a better understanding of:

• modern technology
• how this technology can be incorporated into my classroom
• how to get students more involved

I am currently working on my Masters in Education in Professional Studies. I have taken two classes so far and they are Research in Education and Advanced Education Technology & Media.
