The audience for my capstone project will be fellow ELA teachers. This represents a shift as my capstone has developed. Originally I had thought my audience would be a mixture of students and teachers. As I’ve honed my project to include the theory of transliteracy, I’ve decided that my capstone includes elements so theoretical that it is most appropriate to explore with other educators. For me, exploring transliteracy is truly a question for developing in my innovative teaching. In other words, it is so far on the edge of my comfort zone that I have not landed in a place where I am ready to stand behind it fully and espouse it as the best new practice. I would feel uncomfortable having students be an audience to the capstone project in that regard, but I would feel it is appropriate to bring my fellow teachers along on this journey.
In the Learn More section, therefore, I will need to include some definitions, background, and research on transliteracy. I would like to include some of the video of Marshall McLuhan that we as a cohort explored for our 702 course.

I can relate to the shifting focus of our projects. It is interesting to think about how far we've come since we met that first Thursday night. I was just thinking about how my entire concept has shifted and grown, as I have shifted and grown through study, and the discussions with smart folks like you. I started out thinking that a wide a diverse audience would be best, but as I've, too, have refined my ideas and recognize that building something for a narrow audience might be more effective. As a great educator once told me, "Do less, well."

I love how we all have grown with each section of this program. You have been so brave trying new software, programs and even coding. It's aided in my willingness to try new things, change in general. I look forward to seeing your end produce too.
