Greg McVerryNot sure how I feel about @digitalpromise taking over @edcamp....kinda the opposite goals of an unconference ie start working in credentialing and teacher prep....the entire point was old PD was broken. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2020-07-06-digital-promise-brings-edcamps-into-its-tent
Greg McVerryRight now it is the only conversation worth having https://twitter.com/RuthJoy96960173/status/1281972650080952320" the idea that "Western Civilization" reigns supreme is a major part of white supremacy #literacies
Greg McVerryI also take issue with the racist trope of "Western Civilization is the greatest liberating force in all of human history" It is simply not true. Again as I stated I believe birsth control is the great liberator
Greg McVerryOG question about prompting critical nd computational thinking...I can give a kid a deck of Pokemon cards and get at the problem solving goals rather faster than a steady diet of dead white guy literature #literacies
Greg McVerry@RuthJoy96960173 I am not denying students knowledge. In fact in all my #literacies classes I will always stress content knowledge over strategy instruction. What I take issue with is the idea that there is "canonical knowledge"
Greg McVerryIn a way much of the driver of the scientific revolution during the "enlightenment", the reasons many methods got developed, was to prove "all men created equal" only applied to White Men...Content can never be neutral.
Greg McVerry@RuthJoy96960173 Says almost no indigenous Peoples of the Global South and Americas. Agree birth control and free markets were huge tools of liberation, followed by democracy and open borders, but some bad parts of Enlightenment
Greg McVerry"I, am a, renegade teacher and scholar If you ain't up on it you GOTTA Fall to the back of the line " for @elpatronhimself
Greg McVerryCan't say I ain't tempted: https://twitter.com/TanyaAvrith/status/1281949254131625984 just need somewhere for my three to go..no way am I teaching those a-holes
Greg McVerry@RuthJoy96960173 Lot of racist and sexist history in content "foundational to cultural literacy that is the basis of Western civilization" all for content as the root to education to to assume a "shared" set reinforces ignorance
Greg McVerry@RuthJoy96960173 But means we need a gatekeeper to decide what content students need. Not sure that comes first, community is the curriculum for me. When we talk "foundation of knowledge" you have to decide whose knowledge counts
Greg McVerryToday's #edu522 #dailychallenge prompt: melted popsicles
Greg McVerry@RuthJoy96960173 How do we define content? Questions good place to start too,and should kids craft and curate content through choice first..is is better for us to find mentor content first? not sure #satchat
Greg McVerryPlease donate to #tech4teens camp #satchat this is 100% volunteer effort, have thirty kids and a huge waiting list. All money goes to campers. Every kid in #nhv gets a free computer when they finish. Help!https://www.cfalct.org/tech4teens
Greg McVerry@BeckyKeene My wiki, but that is basically same thing, I have quick thoughts on one side (stream of thought) long thoughts on the other (wiki) and jgregormcverry.com stuck in the middle. #satchat
Greg McVerryquote that guides my instructional design: "Change yourself and you have done your part in the changing the the world. Every individual must change [their] own life if they want to live in a peaceful world. " #satchat
Greg McVerryRT @GruntledChalkie: A3) Because you can't create change and stay the same. Change is creation #satchat
Greg McVerrythink plenty of space for those who curate and those who build community...other routes to action besides content creation...and how to we define content....any message encoded with meaning.,..then everything is content #satchat
Greg McVerryA3 Because literacy takes action and right now history demands both #satchat
