@lookforsun Why we always stress teams of 2 or 3 minimum when we help districts craft a Personalized PD plan. Also build in a lot of observation, feedback, and reflection. Time Matters as Much as Motivation #satchat
Here is more free PD and poetry from the #CLMOOC crew https://clmooc.com/come-sail-into-the-poetry-port/ #satchat have teachers and students into verse stop by, ask for a poem or contribute communities of collaboration exist for teachers (and free)
I published another episode of #2toPonder my two minute podcast. Today in the first show of the third season we discuss, "What is Meaning Making" https://jgregorymcverry.com/podcasts/2toPonderSe03Ep01.m4a based off of this reading https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/02/01/the-agency-and-artistry-of-meaning-makers-within-and-across #edu506
Set district goals, create a survey of faulty needs based on goals, from there craft a menu of PD but require diads and triads, build in reflection points, make explicit connections of evidence in student artifacts, use a tool to track it all #satchat
@lookforsun I cheat, a psychometrician, survey design my jam, ain't an eigenvalue I don't love. video on writing surveys for teachers: https://jgregorymcverry.com/notes/2019-11-27-4 and then looking at the results in Google forms: ttps://jgregorymcverry.com/videos/7MinuteTeachingTipAnalyzingGoogleForms.mp4 #satchat
Connecting to student learning is key, the tech isn't the goal (unless digital #literacies is the path) , just a platform to synthesize results and collect evidence that the personalized PD model is effective. Good tools fade to background #satchat
Also running a similar project with @goifoundation in Accra, Ghana. Training a cohort of 25 people to be open leaders and help create an #OER network. We were recognized as @MozOpenLeaders fellows for this program https://goifnetwork.org/ #satchat
#clmooc What do you do the day after democracy died? Knowing they all lied Shutting down justice letting evil walk amongst us Then you remember there is still November And prey for our nation's ability to survive' white fragility a celebration of hope over hate
I love the #edcamp model, here with @edcampct our goal for 202 though is to make the community more year round so the personalized PD isn't a day. Community is the Curriculum #satchat
@dogtrax @nomadwarmachine The @inoreader team helped me out. We can still build RSS planets at the supporter level using HTML Clips. They are just broken right now. Found a WordPress plugin to hold us over.
We also organize free @indiewebcamp people come together and talk about digital #literacies as they hack on personal websites. https://events.indieweb.org/ nothing builds identity and culture in school better than giving everyone a website #satchat
This is a free @indiewebcamp we are organizing in Ghana as part of a 10 week training for educators: https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/indiewebcamp-accra-olx-ghana-CmCiz3daOPWB Already have 27 attendees registered. Expand beyond your district #satchat
