Publisher: Teachers' College Press


Curating a Literacy Life is a book that explores the concept of curation as a means of inspiring student-centered learning with digital media. The author, Kist, provides educators with practical strategies and activities to empower students to make sense of the vast array of books, videos, websites, and social media they access. The book draws on the experiences of Glenville High School, where the author worked as an instructional coach, to showcase a model for learning to learn. By utilizing smartphones, Netflix accounts, and a wide range of YA, canonical, and media texts, the teachers created a vibrant learning community where students could pursue their own interests, from community histories to documentary filmmaking to social justice advocacy. Throughout the book, students learn valuable skills in processing, making meaning, and repurposing the multimedia texts that are already deeply important in their everyday lives. Curating a Literacy Life is intended for both teachers and parents who are interested in helping young people harness, manage, and learn from the multiple messages and texts they encounter every day. The book features a powerful model for helping teens make sense of and even repurpose the texts they encounter daily, as well as ideas for making use of digital media in ways that are meaningful to today's students. It also provides strategies for bridging the divide between in-school and out-of-school literacies and includes activities developed during the author's years as an instructional coach at Glenville High School.
