To every #highered department out there, to the politicians planning the emergency funds, we are going to need greater numbers of student workers to transcribe videos. Even with automated tools it take 3x video to fix in my experience.
@ajpodchaski what districts really need beyond 2day PD is ongoing coaching, observation, and feedback of online learning. Can not provide those services for free, too time expensive, but will do a 50-75% reduction in honorarium #edtechchat
Yes to this! https://twitter.com/Filibuster3/status/1237174397556776960 We need the wireless companies to give free unlimited bandwidth during COVID-19 closures #edtechchat
Next we would htne layout a potential course navigation, and then look at the f2f curriculum and make a calendar depending on how many "contact hours" required each week. #edtechchat
@sarahlouwou Here are my thoughts on HB5376: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/03/10/my-support-for-ct-hb5376-which-eliminates-edtpa-in-connecticut a response to the comments on Violet Jiménez Sims's editorial
@GauthRaj I think you originally gave me idea for the fourth column, keeping it there though because I want to start with what everyone has in common to build solidarity before the discussions of how online differs by discipline. #edtechchat
@LisaGrayson2803 Yes! It all begins with a story of growth. Allow feedback to move students https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/03/07/feedback-is-a-story-you-can-help #edtechchat
I just started a video series on moving your classes online because of COVID-19. I will be releasing videos everyday up through next week to get k12 and #highered ready to move online overnight. https://jgregorymcverry.com/videos/Covid19teachingtips.mp4 #edtechchat
I would then give every participant one blank piece of paper and after examining exemplars I would have them layout a potential design of each learning module/unit. #edtechchat
@hrheingold @timlmarshall @ajpodchaski @dan_blick @jasongreene @sbotzakis @filibuster23 @marcellehaddix I recorded 2nd video for moving online in face of Covid-19 https://jgregorymcverry.com/videos/COVID-19OnlineGuideII.mp4 will move to video page when captions done #highered
Then move into active discussion techniques in both synchronous and asynchronous online environment, this would include expectations (you will notice recurring theme), using taxonomies like Bloom and DoK, and fun techniques #edtechchat
As a teenager I always felt more comfortable writing raps instead of school writing. School writing rarely asked me what I thought, felt, or wanted. But in a wrap I could write about anything I wanted to get off my chest #quote -Jamal Cooks
HTML best way to help ensure digital equity, if worried about student data plans don't do a ton of video and highly interactive websitesa, also no reason to record more than 720, even480p if in rural areas or poor urban area #edtechchat
@nathan_stevens ...ummmm the entire point is to limit public contact. Moving all students to the library is just moving the infection risk to another public place. #edtechchat
@ajpodchaski Building Open Source training guide that @ReVIEWTalentFS will host and give away for free. Ispring break next week. Will do sessions pro bono live in CT and remotely with districts. Bout two days of 5 hr training #edtechchat
Finally we will move to assessments and benefit of multiple shorter assignments and assessments for online learning and talk about how to deliver high quality feedback aligned to the learning outcomes of each assignment. #edtechchat
