Many of you might find yourselves in the need to shift all ypur k12 classroom's online overnight. I will offer any assistance I can #satchat. Start now however with your staff and get teachers thinking what it means to teach online
I manage projects of choice by first providing scaffolds and check in points look at example video, teach students to learn https://edu106.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/hey-edu106-here-is-a-video-describing and then I model by doing what students must do: https://edu106.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/ukele-lesson-one #satchat
Just because people in college and the real world get learning wrong doesn't mean we have to as well. I feel no obligation to prepare students for someone else's bad design choices. #satchat
Also building in free choice in those spaces between school and community. Check out the https://elmcitywebmakers.com here is our last event: https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/elm-city-webmakers-SlKRFTlUVyUY Giving a kid a website gives them choice over their story #satchat
@teachmbw I also encourage people to have students or groups create their own rubrics after unpacking objectives and discussing what success looks likes with students. #satchat
@threadreaderapp Please also Just serve up plain HTML and you will work on ALL the platforms regardless of plugin infrastructure ....I look at source code and copy paste to do things like: https://jgregorymcverry.com/webmentionbadgespressedconf19
Let's also stop framing choice as an outcome of one, I want my students to make progress while contributing to the shared culture we as a class all choose to craft. #satchat
Here is the poem, Constraints Of Creativity. may take an hour or so to hit @pocketcast feed but you can subscribe to any of my poetry feeds using any RSS reader: https://jgregorymcverry.com/mypoetry#audiopoems
The new social studies c3 frameworks and the NGSS are perfect for multi genre inter disciplinary choice projects. You should check out the GIS and Inquiry Learning programs we have run @scsu #satchat
Start here, make 4 column chart, have staff list active learning strategies used in class, then brainstorm how these could look online, then discuss tools could be used, the fourth column have teachers align strategies to content #satchat
@KyleNiemis Because first we need to take a step back and make sure we embed some "learning how we learn" before or during choice. Example video https://jgregorymcverry.com/videos/EDU506CaseStudies.mp4 (#highered easier ..much easier to teach when younger) #satchat
A poem inspired by @amyburvall on the benefits of constraints and creativity: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/01/13/constraints-oncreativityseen-throughamyburvallseyesrhizomatic-learning-breeds-that #satchat
A website second best tool (after paper) for tracking the learnign that happens through choice...well learning happens through reflection on activity, and motivation for the activity increases through choice. track it all on my url #satchat
Please let us stop conflating grading with feedback. We know the act of measurement changes the motivation to learn but we don't need to worsen the situation by conflating arbitrary numbers with information used to improve performance #satchat
