 * __Intelligence__

**
 * **Working Definition:**
 * Intelligence is the level of literacy or knowledge a person has obtained. It encompasses many capabilities such as reason, problem solving, plan, comprehend ideas, use language and obtain more knowledge. However, there is no set definition for intelligence agreed upon by a majority across the various capabilities. || **Complications:**
 * Since intelligence isn't universally agreed upon as a solid definition, how can we judge what level of intelligence someone is. ||
 * **Questions:**
 * How can we come up with one universal agreement of what "Intelligence" is?
 * If we don't know how to define it how can we improve someones level or intelligence? ||  || **Importance:**
 * Intelligence is a required skill to go through academia. Even if you don't do the work you still have to be "intelligent" enough to figure out ways around it.
 * In order to answer our questions about intelligence we need to first acquire a common understanding of it. ||

IDEALOGICAL MODEL OF LITERACY

The Ideological model of literacy recognizes literacy as the combined effort of technology and cultural influence. In his article “The New Literacy Studies” Brian Street states that this model “does not attempt to deny technical skill or the cognitive aspects of reading and writing, but rather understands them as they are encapsulated within cultural wholes and within structures of power” (Street 435). ||  || **__ Importance of Term __**  This concept is important because it questions the former Autonomous model of literacy supported by Ong and Olson. The Autonomous model looks upon literacy as strictly a technology with no other influences. The Ideological model recognizes the influence of cultural and power structures. ||
 * **__ Working Definition __**

 In response to Street’s view on the models of literacy, Miyoshi argues “by denying or underplaying the distinction between orality and literacy, Street collapses the social variables into a single model of oral and literate mix, thereby licensing clearly against his intent the universalist reading of cultures and societies” (Street 436). Does Miyoshi have a point? Is the Ideological model confusing the distinction between orality and literacy? ||  || **__ Complications __**  The term is complicated because it makes literacy immeasurable. Under the Autonomous model literacy is easily measured because it is viewed as strictly a technology with no other variables. It is an object that can be looked at individually. With the additional variable of cultural influence it is much more difficult to measure. ||

Multimodality

Working Definiton: - text plus art, drawing or other modes of communication blended together, a form of multiliteracy. Complications: - Knowledge of "reading" other forms of language (pictures, symbols) - Difficult to teach to large groups from different backgrounds lacking art, lacking certain education, etc. Importance -Broadens effects of literacy and helps to better teach it. -Allows for alternative modes for locking literacy into memory by offering objects/images to link words to reach larger audience. Questions -How would you go about teaching this skill? -Is skill naturally aquired or just used as a mode of teaching and is

Web 2.0 Not standard information, anyone can change things and so we aren’t positive where our information is coming from whereas before we all used the same source, same data. No validity. No emotion. || Is it good that we are integrating these new technologies into learning and school? Is it making us learn more or is it doing too much to combine outside technology and inside of classroom technology? By integrating Web 2.0 and education are we taking away from the learning experience and the personal interaction within the classroom? ||
