Reading the section in ch. 8 in the Framing Literacy text on miscue analysis
really got me thinking about how one could introduce it on the internet.
Thinking about how such a page or site should be set up with the goal of
increasing dialogue and understanding on the subject.
What I want to do is secure a domain and web-space for teachers where
they can come and gain and contribute knowledge and expertise on various
aspects of teaching. For starters: bilingual education and reading assessment
followed by some stuff on sequencing and mathematics, and TAAS teaching.
What I want to do for miscue analysis includes setting up a taped reading,
which will be uploaded to the web and accessible to the public in Realplayer
format. Giving others the opportunity to look at the text and hear the
reading and thus –make their own assessment before seeing mine- (there
could also be a discussion frame on the bottom or something where one could
leave one’s own assessment or critique mine).
Although I realize the danger of building barriers between new ideas
and day to day teaching reality by seeing only the logistical / temporal
obstacles, I cannot help but plead once again for more time to do all the
things I need to do, also the group good vs. individual development dilemma.
