@KellyFr25732703 I always find it easier to first choose my pedagocial goal (wether tech or content driven...preferably both) and then I choose the best tool to match my goals. Plenty of tech can inhibit your pedagogical goal #sschat
@EricaHodgin @youthvoices @writingproject You can do this with no platform at all. That is kind of the point. civic media works online when the web and not the medium are the platform...but highly endorse @youthvoices #sschat
@classroomtools @JeremyDBond Yes they need models, and do not be afraid to start small, just get online somehow and learn something is step one, teach something is step two, both need to be connected to a passion. #sschat
@JeremyDBond @dankrutka I see it as the message being, "My teacher explained why they don't use it and the dangers of algorithms , and the privacy I give up" maybe I will follow that model. Telling kids "No" never works. #sschat
a6 honestly I know I am a broken record every week but give a kid their own url and a website, you can't know how truth gets shaped online until you shape your own #sschat
@mrsbrownEDU @mendoteach Why we started using misinformation to refer to specific organized campaigns to spread falsehoods. Fake News got too co-opted #sschat
If anyone in #sschat would like to go through an #IndieWeb intensive class where you create a civic media project from student blogs to use next year I am running #edu522 again this summer: http://bit.ly/2F2011A
@dankrutka @JeremyDBond Agree with you and I am slowly in the process of trying to move my movies to http://bit.ly/Mc9oa but the privacy protections schools get through G Suite are much stronger than unpaying customers #sschat
If anyone in #sschat wants to learn about how civic media can all be shaped from your own website free of corporate control join us for the #IndieWeb summit in #pdx http://bit.ly/2GyjJ58 in person for those local or remote if not. But we have to #BeTheBetterWeb
@JeremyDBond But the lesson we took from Web 2.0 "Now nobody needs to know HTML to use the web" was so wrong. We should have doubled down on web literacy to protect civic media #sschat
@JeremyDBond Kind of disagree. I never require the use of Twitter in my class nor do I think modeling the use of platforms that amplify and monetize outrage are good for schools. We have the tools to do this without corporate silos. #sschat
When the press contacted me I said how proud I was that the student was getting involved in politics even if I did not agree funny they never ran the story. #sschat
True story when I encouraged civic engagement in my classes I was secretly (well they asked for homework purposes) recorded and put all over liberal professor bashing websites #sschat
@jkahne Will take a look and I may have access to international data as well around civic engagement in our @mozilla global studies, need to go re-read. Thx for link. I love eigenvalues. Surveys my jam #sschat
I have to dig deeper in the results but I am not sure I believe the number to be that low, not in #nhv where I see students organizing on social media, does it not include stuff like #icebucketchallenge? Wh decided line #sschat
All media is civic media but when we talk about organizing for a better world we believe in I think it takes agency connected through passion to a group with shared goals. #sschat
