ABSTRACT
The layered literacies framework allows for the integration of technology in ways that can appropriately respond to time, learning objectives, and student's needs, and the suggestions throughout this chapter reveals how various resources can cohere to support student's remixing and layering of meaning making. In fact, there's much that mitigates against it, including overly scripted lessons that need to have more room for student's interpretation and experimentation, the emphasis on assessment at the expense of ideation and originality, and the focus on technology without attention to pedagogy. The chapter explains how educators might integrate available technologies to foster each of these elements in the classroom. As with other classroom practices educators may need to model constructive apprenticeship and active spectatorship for their students and to give them opportunities to practice different methods. For instance, teachers might work with the class to create rules of apprenticeship and active spectatorship, norms that will ensure responsible and constructive discourse, knowledge sharing, and assistance.
