@davewiner @chirag_mehta saving web and democracy same thing, and like all things politics you start local. The mall is not the town square. It is private, like the silos. My idea is to use local libraries to save the local web: https://checkoutmydomain.glitch.me (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6688-2/)
@brholland @LFlemingEDU @gregkulowiec @TheTechRabbi @WickedDecent @ShawnMcCusker @aiaddysonzhang @YongZhaoEd I see an unsubstantiated claim with no evidence. It is ony about 16% of the workforce now….Saying they will all be gig economy graduates is just a BS statistic. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6682-2/)
@actualham @holden This is why I think teaching social search skills are essential to the #credweb. If I am investigating a topic I don’t go to search engines, I ask in networks of experts, listserv, twitter, irc, etc. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6680-2/)
@bonstewart I know pre-service teachers must think about how they shape professional identities, learn how to use technology for active networked learning. Then I look around and see who teaches our pre-service teachers…then I get scared. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6677-2/) https://t.co/XprRsYTYBy

@funnymonkey @Veganmathbeagle @audreywatters much of the misinformation comes from “educational intermediaries” when you ask teachers what conferences they like they don’t pick research or practioner conferences. The say “Learning Forward” which is a sales pitch of mistranslated ideas. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6673-2/)
@funnymonkey @Veganmathbeagle @audreywatters Yes, created a warped sense of #edtech tchrs. curating my following list https://jgregorymcverry.com/following and found interesting design trend in “rockstars” “pirates” “eduprenuer”…we have defined success with #edtech as a sidegig and not as pedagogy (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6671-2/)
@bonstewart Agree. demonstrate to pre-service teachers that it isn’ technology problem. it isn’t #CS4All but #LiteracyForAll. They teachers grew up as the siloed generation, no open web. Step one: #DoOO Can’t shape truth till you shape your own. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6669-2/)
@ulla just read https://medium.com/@ulla/an-imaginary-interview-with-lev-vygotsky-on-immersive-storytelling-and-learning-5bbb211c6e50 Good piece been thinking about how Vygotsky would view the web and the perezhivanie involved in identity work throughout a students life. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6667-2/)
@bonstewart The web is almost 30 years. It is older than almost every pre-service teacher in my classroom. The fact that teachers do not feel confident is due to three decades of poor leadership and bad hiring and retention policies. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6665-2/)
In this podcast I apply James Paul Gee’s “Circuit of Reflective Human Activity” to @dcormier’s concept of “community is the curriculum.” http://jgregorymcverry.com/podcast/2toponder-episode-15-circuit-of-human-reflective-activity/ (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6663-2/)
For today’s #edu307 #dailychallenge at @scsu you need to write a #shortstory…like a really #shortstory. Here are some examples from friends on Mastodon. https://mastodon.social/tags/smallstories (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6645-2/)
A decent primer on Jame Paul Gee’s Circuit of Reflective Activity https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=83&v=cofGpo3UYss (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6643-2/)
@swentel Still think I need to unsuspend my 14 day #IndieWeb Drupal challenge once things settle down a bit. Migrate my WordPress site and compare what I lose with some plugins and compare to what I gain in functionality. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6641-2/)
@Downes @ChrisAldrich It is “post-kinds” in WordPress world because post types mean something else in WordPress, but in terms of the rest of the world folks refer too post types. …Be interesting to see if volume of installs changes nomenclature over time. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6639-2/)
@Downes I spent some time with @chrisaldrich this summer exploring how post types and webmentions can create interesting feedback loops in distributed classrooms. So stoked to see how this all works in gRSShopper. The OG headless LMS. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6637-2/)
why I ❤️ web. We play with Loqi, the coolest bot in #IndieWeb chat, to make an article stub about needing “not-it emoji” then @aaronpk immediately designs the perfect not-it emoji: https://indieweb.org/not-it_emoji and adds the img to wiki (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6635-2/)
100% Agree. Build and be community we want to see. First and fore most I think this means doubling down efforts to to bridge #HipHopEd and #IndieWeb. You control the cadence when you drop the code. Own beats when their your bytes #HipHopEd (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6633-2/)
Looking back I regret framing it as “finding a voice” but the documentary poems my students, many just babes at 9/11 move me every year: http://jgregorymcverry.com/finding-our-voices-in-lost-voices/ #Hiphoped (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6631-2/)
my commitment to #openpedagogy does come from selfish places as well. Support I found from @scsu students in #edu106 and my network at large affirmed how far spirits fly https://medium.com/the-binder/when-networks-matter-most-e42077efbb77 (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6628-2/)
