A lot of people in the feedback noted they wished they had a checklist of assignments to mark off and refer to if they missed any assignments. I am gonna play with webmentions, possibly events, to make a way to check off things next semester
As you know we have been taking a critical look at teaching practices here at SCSU. I think your answer about good teaching coming in so many forms is spot on. In fact I do not like to say beast practices. To me it is always better. What is best in one context isn't best in another context or community...and we should always strive to live a life where we st
As part of #socialjustice month we have been taking a critical look at teaching here at Southern I think you are correct in defining feedback as revolving around delivering feedback. It is telling that you note being aware of work you are "distributing" in a way this represents a banking where knowledge is commodified and handed out. Or being aware of the wo
A few folks at today's #socialjustice talk with @blovesoulpower at @scsu asked about our Ghana project here are deets from @sadike25 http://sadik.goifnetwork.org/2019/problems-faced-today-in-education1-low-availability sponsored by @scsu and @mozilla open leaders project
It came from @aei but still good advice for any movement #digped Resist the allure of speed and scale, take time to define the problem and get the terminology right, communicate early and often, and establish the circle of trust.
Okay everyone I think I have my feeds and POSSE stuff figured out. I am hoping no replies that aren’t a reply to a microdotblog post do not show up in my feed here. Please let me know if it isn’t working or still too loud
@goifoundation @blovesoulpower I had an idea, what if we do a wikipedia edit-a-thon and translate articles about African diaspora, USA civil rights movement, and hip hop articles in Twi, build understanding by by creating materials of understanding.
@BLoveSoulPower responds, "Do the work you wanna do, If you don't stay in your lane you have no track. Nobody says to someone who works on prisons, why not water? Inclusion would be a white girl coming up and wanting to start a club and you help"
Another student asks about #socialjustice and inclusion, I wanted to start a group for black girls but worry I look like I am being exclusionary, but I can't help white girls from Milford like I can a black girl from Milford"
Great student question, "Is social justice movement been co-opted like diversity movement you talked about" @BLoveSoulPower responds with, "Always" when ever that many people use the saqme word it gets watered down. That is capitalism, justice sells
@BLoveSoulPower "People want 'Black' but don't want the verb of "being black" selling black culture ain't new, we always been cool and cool sells, and we sell our culture too, the goal is keep money in the community, and address capitalism overall"
Great point from @BLoveSoulPower that culture begins with, "how do I survive in this place" over time you then make the place your own. #literacies #HipHopEd If you want black culture but you don't want us we need to call people out.
I am loving talk of #identities at @BLoveSoulPower talk on #HipHopEd, Dr. Love talking about how you have multiples identities and you are always doing identity work. #literacies
Hey @goifoundation At a talk by @BLoveSoulPower and talking stereotypes of blacks moving between continents...someimes views of Ghana immigrants of black Americans framed by the lens of whiteness and colonization. Wonder how we can address #literacies
@BLoveSoulPower "I use the R. Kelly barometer for the collectiveness...If I say, 'What you think about R. Kelly" and you say framed...I am done...You don't need everyone in your circle. Not all belong"
We have also learned that teaching digital #literacies makes you less stupid, and we also know it ain't the young https://www.journalism.org/2018/06/18/the-ability-to-classify-statements-as-factual-or-opinion-varies-widely-based-on-political-awareness-digital-savviness-and-trust-in-news-media/screwing op elections (they don't vote) it is the Ok Boomer hangin
For last decade new #literacies research suggested if we don't teach digital evaluation we would create a huge mess @SHEG_Stanford continues thw rok we began in k12 to prove out point: https://purl.stanford.edu/gf151tb4868
