@bali_maha So sorry this is causing you and your daughter stress. Reading should never cause harm. I am hoping the teacher has good intentions as we need a bit more to call this competition. Were kids getting ranked? publicly shamed? Being assessed outloud in front of peers? Speed reading test at a early grade are often used as we know fluency is a great pre

@johanbove you probably have enough front-end skills to roll most of the #IndieWeb building blocks into your current approach. I use a hybrid approach with a few static pages on my website and let @withknown handle most of my social stream.
@johanbove @johanbove I took your last post to show how easy it is to add microformats and turn any webpage into a blog entry that works with #IndieWeb tools....I didn't add all the p, a, and pre tags but you can see how logical microformats are for the social web: http://bit.ly/2HYaLl4

#edu407 This is a strong spelling and phonics lesson plan: https://education342613656.wordpress.com/2019/03/02/spelling-and-phonics/ Notice how Annmarie drive a lot of reflection around the phonics rules that govern the spelling.
#edu407 This is a good start for the word sort lesson plan and qualifies for the badge but some brief feedback, be careful randomly picking numbers and calling it mastery. Why is 80% correct mastery. Who conflated a B to meaning success? What if all four mistakes were on the same type of phonics pattern. Did the student master the lesson? We make up and do d
@johanbove Yeah it is so cool isn't it! I love it. Keeping metadata in your HTML and you can sign in so many places with your domain. As an FYI it isn't predefined CSS properties. Microformats use the class attributes any HTML element can carry (same way we use this to add CSS selectors) and to get really unnecessarily pedantic you are using XFN, a type of m
#edu407 good focus on reflecting on what patterns determine spelling rules in this lesson: https://nataliecaldwellteacher.wordpress.com/2019/02/28/lesson-plan-for-word-sort/
This is a good word sort lesson plan for #edu407 and will earn the badge but one thing to note you are doing a lesson on the short a and the long a using at -at and -ay rimes respectively. I think the ou diphtong was a typo given that there are no ou words in the word sort. The key goal is to have students understand the role of how the phonics rule governs

#edu407 Jessica nice focus on the production based way you are working with students as they focus short a vowel sounds. One thing you are missing is the discussion of the rules that govern short vowel sounds. You need to build in time for reflection for students to realize closed syllables often produce a short vowel. Build in this reflection to earn the ba
The Elm City Webmakers kick off our Homebrew Website Club meeting @scsu we are in Davis 118 for anyone in the #nhv area looking to hack on a personal or classroom website.
Really cool contest by @wikimedia lot of categories. Hope to see some #IndieWeb entries: https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/03/28/announcing-the-heart-of-knowledge-contest-help-us-illustrate-why-knowledge-matters/
think lot about programmers and musicians but my take away different. Often find university comp sci students to be much like classical musicians. Phenomenal with g direction but if you ask them to pick a scale and jam out you get blank stares https://jacobobryant.com/post/2019/practice/
I am all about owning and controlling your data as a pathway to privacy. So many interesting responses to @kaxline article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19563278 are arguing that owning your data is inherently evil I disagree. Own your shit and do with it what you want
@kaxline in the education space we call this "privacy through data empowerment" if everything originates on your own domain you already control your privacy. Why we encourage folks to go #DoOO if you are in Portland try to make it to #IndieWeb Summit this year
