I would say #ds106 also connects more through RSS than Twitter. You also have the XMCA listserv which shows some elements of #connectedlearning #digped
@WeaverRew Yes, in the classroom examples of #connectedlearning harder to find. We find new ways to screw up learning with education all the time. Its just digital now. #digped
@actualham I probably sound like a broken record but the #IndieWeb community probably one of the best in the wild examples of #connectedlearning. All run using IRC, wikis, and HTML. #digped
@actualham blogs and RSS...they work really, really well. Plus new social readers are emerging where you can do even cooler stuff for classrooms. Plenty of Slack communities like @vconnecting #digped
@MrsRBGriffith And then watch how self selecting electives can create shadow tracking (like if the kids in Band all end up in the same classes). #edchat
@JeremyDBond YouTube was just taking off when I was teaching..no live stream, my AOL Instant Messenger status was always that nights homework...built a class website in 2001. Sad none of it was archived before I left in 2008 #edchat
"parents seen as adversarial" because teachers bring own bias to a system that may have done wrong to parents as ist a history built on systemic racism built to serve adults rather than students. Maybe we should ask, "Why aren't more parents pissed off" #edchat
Parents want to help, but they don't know how. We have the teaching degrees. Text out the vocab words in the unit, post tutorials and notes, share reading tips...and make reading logs actually useful and not painful for parents. #edchat
@JeremyDBond It was a bit off topic as I didn't know parents as partners was theme..but it fits, we could develop a self reflection for schools and teachers that looks at the entire school as a system to support parents and take advantage of partnerships. #edchat
Don't start with obstacles. All parents are assets. Ask your self what unique stories in their lived experiences do my students bring to the classroom. #edchat
