"Transliteracy is reading, writing, listening, speaking over a range of platforms using a variety of modes of communication and being able to shift from one mode to another easily. Transliteracy cannot be taught. It can only be developed through experiences." ([|Defining Transliteracy for Librarians)] ======

=
Transliteracy is important because the nature of communication is changing. Students need to be exposed to a variety of opportunities to create and share their ideas so that they are prepared for the way communication sharing has evolved. ======

**Why is this topic critical for teachers and teacher-librarians?**

3 Suggestions for Practical Use

 * 1)  Gretchen Caserotti, writer with the Libraries and Transliteracy blog, suggests a way to incorporate the transfer of skills using a print book. View her idea [|here].
 * 2) Using Art, Language Arts and QR codes in a grade 4 classroom provides an example of how to use a variety of skills to communicate across multiple platforms. The full post can be viewed here.
 * 3) Creating personal learning environments with students. This video explains how a 7th grade science student created a PLE demonstrating the use of networked learning.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Although Bobish never mentions the word transliteracy, his paper provides excellent examples of how to use a variety of web 2.0 tools to help students understand how all of these multimodal means of communication work across platforms and are linked. The focus is on constructivism.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The research for this project was set up to look at the kinds of skills and capabilities students need to have to get the full benefit of the technology and resources available to support their learning and the differing ways in which schools and post secondary can support these. The study examines what transliteracy skills students need and how institutions are meeting those needs, as well as how they are not. This is a fascinating read and includes many informative charts outlining the changing role of the library and school.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This article discusses the origins of transliteracy and addresses the fact that it is a new term and that there are not specific skills attached to it. There is an emphasis on the need for libraries to understand transliteracy so that patrons can have a role in constructing the knowledge bases. There is emphasis on the non-hierarchical nature of transliteracy, where one type of communication does not have more power than another.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Rheingold focuses on the five skills needed to be social media literate: attention, participation, collaboration, network awareness, and critical consumption. Knowing how to use web 2.0 tools is not enough. We must understand how to communicate across a variety of platforms and how to put all these five 'litearcies' together.
