@cathy_griggs99 Yes need to take back our poles, lets get people back to work with a WPA like effort, yet the telecoms fight for their duopoly, make it illegal in states for municipalities to address racism and inequity #edtechchat
Hey #edu407 here is the argumentative Vee Diagram we will use to plan our case study on comprehension: background knowledge or strategy instruction #literacies https://padlet.com/mcverryj1/4gnghnz5bm6jxnwv #engchat #nctevillage
@Hypepraise the freaking Robert E Lee page on @wikipedia calls him a "paternalistic master"...has an entire "lost cause" section about Lee's troubled views on slavery.....total BS. history gets erased every day #edtechchat
Do you support municipal wifi efforts needs to be a litmus test issue from the state vel down, the more local the level the stronger the test. And do the census fight for state houses, who wins in Nov controls next ten years #edtechchat
teacher can't use computer to check email let alone do instructional design work we need to ask, "Why are you still employed? How are you not fired?" Web is almost three decades old....not enough PD is a crappy excuse #edtechchat
stomping missives of misery laundered on pains of painted hands clocks turning time and time again Not Forgotten they fester as nightmares in light for little ones who lack the luxury to forget #smallpoems
Eyes wrenching in pain sprayed by lies of a Tyrant's Hubris. Truth emerges as a Hero of Swann Street spreads wings feathered in humanity wrapping stings of pain in visions of hope #smallpoems
@Hypepraise YesI went my whole life. just starting to learn about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_B._Wells You think Texas textbooks in the 1980s mentioned here...doubt it...but if we check all the history indexes I doubt she makes it #edtecchat
students are coming to terms with truth that by being black or brown they are not safe and can be killed when interacting with law enforcement. Can't have equitable access if you get choked to death on way to library #edtechchat
@dogtrax @100% I was too harsh...and it was great advice, just not advice for all children....and teaching to only one narrative got us here, we can't forget schools roles in racial violence as tools of assimilation.
It is more than just the home connection, check out fast food places in burbs free wifi...going for the coffee shop vibe, in the city, no wfi and no loitering signs every where, no community resource feel at all. #edtechchat
"modeling methods to share and support cultural change?" post the links of you reflecting on doing the work that needs to be done, elevate the voices, model listening not "yes, buts" or "glory snatching" #edtechchat
Today's #poembox #poetry "Missives of Misery" https://jgregorymcverry.com/mypoetry#audiopoems finding such hope bleeding through pains of broken reality. We all need to pick at scabs festering on humanity.#writingcommunkity
Get comfortable with idea that some stories aren't yours, some truths you can never know, own up when you do stupid stuff (and you will) when doing the anti-racist work we first need and then build out to society. #edtechchat
Looking closely editors do describe recent efforts to remove Lee memorials like removal of stained glass windows from National Cathedral, I would think the civil disobedience of 2020-05-20 is worthy of inclusion about Monument Ave
Start by addressing 400 years of inequity that got us here, until then realize good teaching is good teaching regardless of mode, teach my email, sms, phone...#edtechchat
@Hypepraise Hard for palaces of oppression and assimilation to be places of restorative justice but whatschools need not so much fidelity but believing in doing the actual work. otherwise just another "morning meeting" #edtechchat
@mshutchi thought Terrence Floyd prayer vigil quite positive and moving moment. Need to elevate the heroes whose voices get infringed upon, people, poets, artists, emcees doing this work, Get community into classroom. #edtechchat
