@hs_rosales Very much so! Great conversation to have. We also need to remember most people switch jobs seven times and entire field on average 2.3 times. The day of one career, one job, for life are over. #satchat
@cassiecodes 100% agree. I sometimes host #IndieWeb Design Studio in New Haven, CT. While people built sites we spend more time playing with photo, video, and audio editing to make stuff to put on our sites rather than making a site
#smallpoems wheel turning but eyes can not wake up formless thoughts reflection of matter A rebel child, mama I tried but ideas busted on this cloudy day No masterpiece could I ever paint with star as my desire Not after chasing reality in Hunter's Dark
@stumpteacher Instead of every kid can code I would prefer a baseline of being able to read, write, and participate in a digital age. To me this begins by maintaining your own infrastructure, owning your learning, and telling your own story #satchat
Just because you can't hear it doesn't mean students aren't screaming through crafts, expressing passion in poems, pain in their paint. Text, in all its form, can do a lot of talking, and often holds greater truths #satchat
@GlennMalcolm @ncte just released a new document called definition of literacy in a digital age: http://www2.ncte.org/statement/nctes-definition-literacy-digital-age/ for a 5th grade computer class might be stuff in our Web Literacy 1.5 map https://blog.mozilla.org/foundation-archive/mozilla-learning/web-literacy-map-v1-5/
@LaurenPorosoff Thank you so much for sharing so much of the dichotomy we are discussing between extrovert/introvert is based on bad science and harmful to children #satchat
@ScottRRocco Remember you are not helping them "find voice" or "give voice" and maybe the best thing isn't to learn how to amplify their voice but maybe we should all learn from our students and just shut up every once in a while #satchat
If the interest is in "whole child" rather than just buzz word du jour maybe the child is not the variable of interest in our assessments. Rather, we need to look to our spaces to ensure we carve out participatory learning environments: #satchat
#smallpoems (cont) Alterior motives abound Contemplation, a key less prison walls build by the unforgiven I lay each stone myself a quarry of shattered dreams Mine the rock shovel, pick, axe, repeat Yet You can not see my prison walls
In the first picture you see a rocket in the foreground with my son looking over his rocket. In the second picture my son is in a close up decorating his rocket with art aupplies scattered on table.
