Web needs folks like @robvato @booktoss and @ebonyteach, world needs movements like #diversityjedi and #DignidadLiteraria and we need to fight the homogeneity of the web. English only web not an Open Web. Bilingual teachers keep students blogging
@imlaurie Not me yet. I wonder if @goifoundation has. I have never been to Ghana. @sadike25 is organizing an @IndieWebCamp in Navrongo this weekend to kickoff our 10 week training around #IndieWeb, #OER and @wikipedia/ @wikidata for learning
@Mozilla Open Leaders Support Call...Hard to believe we are just days away from @IndieWebCamp Navrongo https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/indiewebcamp-navrongo-olx-ghana-CmCiz3daOPWB Excited to support spread of #OER in Ghana @MozOpenLeaders
Oops forgot the hashtag #clmooc this #poetryport poem is a gift to @booktoss who tonight shared a podcast that sparked something in me (like she has for years) that had to get out https://twitter.com/jgmac1106/status/1227064500190416902
@AJKandy Here is the Ursula Franklin inspired poem....alternative title....Maybe a little friction ain't a bad thing. https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/02/11/paradox-of-technology-1
Hey #edu506 I love thtat Paul's #literacies mantra begins with the community and ends with the individual and self-regulation, we put all the emphasis on skills when really the community is the curriculum.
@AJKandy I forked the site and submitted a PR that incorporated a lot of your suggestions. I love open source ideas where folks like you encourage others to make a difference on the open web rather than just shout complaints on social media. Thx
"Sometimes it is okay to be a problem. To be an effective problem that inserts itself at key inflection points to change an entire industry." -Robert Lavoto @robvato #quote
Hey #edu506 check out the way that Shawn stresses content and thinking about different genres in #literacies as he wants to prepare successful students.
@MGraybosch What ever you heard isn't true. I live my life as a hyperbole. My morals are metaphors BTW share with #writingcommunity , #clmooc giving out poems to those who need them or who want to give gift of poetry: https://clmooc.com/come-sail-into-the-poetry-port/
@booktoss on unrelated nerdy #literacies researcher stuff quote really made me think about your work with books and publishers and case studies I am doing with innovation systems: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/03/07/my-fork-of-synea-into-a-saint though I dropped knowledge brokering for quilting
@AJKandy I 100% agree. Need to think about access as equity & accessibility issue. Looks like social media share buttons on each issue people looking for ower barrier could just click twitter" to vote. Users don't need to know it is webmentions
This week in #edu506 #literacies we were discussing the difference between "celebrating diversity" and anti-racist teaching. I am so moved by the end of the module reflections coming in: https://elementarye.school.blog/2020/02/04/diversity-what-is-it-really/
@imlaurie Can you share this link as well as article: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-sadik-empower-students-in-ghana-with-mozilla @sadike25 & @goifoundation crew host massive # of @wikipedia editathons, @sadike25 and I doing a @MozOpenLeaders program on #OER and Ghana: goifnetowrk.org
@AJKandy I agree. Copy good use some polishing, Does require some inferences, I go with the rule assume audience knows nothing, but writing good copy is nowhere near the same thing as writing code. Still excited for effort
I want a read AND write browser I should be able to connect a browser to my website, then go up to File, select new, choose my post type and hit publish. I should be able to react and publish to my site from pages I visit.
@AJKandy But what if something like webmentions is the web we want? Important ethos. If browsers could fix anything they shouldn't be read only. In any browser I should be able to go to up file>new>post and publish to my website.
