Hey @utaustin @utexascoe #literacies folks, Great News!! @IndieWebCamp Austin growing so much have expanded room, bad news, I have pinewood Derby same weekend, but will be as remote as possible (especially Sunday.really bummed HUUGE event
@cogdog and @reclaimhosting what if we revise the #checkoutmydomain proposal https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_VQSHkKKIj-m8OAsZP7ASGN3jlNXgjXWLQoJQjI4-Ks/edit?usp=sharing and apply for https://educatorinnovator.org/campaigns/call-for-proposals-2019-lrng-innovators-challenge-from-passion-to-purpose/ I know many teachers who would love to lead a projecr
This is model #edu407 reading post: https://theclassroomconnection.wordpress.com/2019/02/07/instructional-routine-influences-on-literacy-workshops/ notice the quotes and reflection. No need to summarize the readings, you are just grabbing ideas to transform in your write post/
OOhh here is a student who figured out how to set up different feeds and navigation for different classes: https://theclassroomconnection.wordpress.com/tag/edu407/ #edu407 #edu307
Something stinks in Denmark when the state says we are $57 million dollars short to help the #ctedu universities and colleges that actually address systemic inequity but we can can spend $40 million dollars to underwrite @uconn useless 1-11 football team.
We $57 million shortfall and @uconn football gets 40 million dollars for 1-11 record. We get a annual cut after annual cut and @UCONN gets 1.56 billion dollar cash infusion "Next Generation" fund. ...bc you know..equity...Guess Next Generation means same old generation
"Teachers may often interpret this as making sure students comprehend what they are reading. However, checking for comprehension by asking endless questions during reading can turn into an interrogation that interferes with the reading process.” Such a good quote make sure reading instruction is always in the service of building knowledge. #edu407
Here is another personal site coming along well at #edu407 @scsu but Sandy lucky enough to have been with us since #edu106. Why I think #DoOO so important in #HigherEd, let academics identities grown over time: https://sabblogblog.wordpress.com/
Starting to see some great designs of site emerge in #edu407 like https://scsustudent2teacher.wordpress.com and https://edu407lyssmar.wordpress.com I think I need to port my academic blogger badges over to my site so I can issue some webmention badges about digital writing growth
Really bummed I messed up my planning for @IndieWebCamp Austin and never put it together that it's the same day as Pinewood Derby. Had tix in hand. Guess it doesn't matter as long as you are hacking on something whether it be blocks of wood or blocks of code.
#edu407 If the goal of the real aloud is to focus on: Students will be able to identify setting in the text. Students will be able to use information in the text to compare characters in the text. Students will be able to pick out information in the text to support their reasoning when asked questions. Then make sure all of your text based discussion prompts
#edu407 #literacies A great quote and having these mantras can often drive our passion for learning. I pull away from this quote a bit, while decoding does take explicit instruction I think what we mean is before you can decode knowledge growth happens more efficiently through oral language development but afterwords through reading and writing. I never stop
As I experiment with PHP for the Known side of my website I will also build a guestbook form in node.js using this as a guide: https://intro-to-node.glitch.me/ since I use @glitch as the sandbox for my main website and then I can make my own form for adding people to https://jgregorymcverry.com/following.html
#edu407 Yes the point is let's be more than responsive let's be proactive and and lets think on our history before acting. I often see this with Ellis Island lessons. My son's school does a huge immigrant day and everyone dresses up and goes through Ellis Island. What does this say to handful of minority children who wouldn't have been allowed through? I see
#edu407 #literacies empower those who often get disempowered by those in power who define what #literacies means. You can can see the scars of history across the pages of time, the art of anguish, and joys of song. The fight for global literacy is a fight for equity at home.
#edu407 this is a good example of a interactive read aloud. I might do the closing a bit differently so it is more closely tied to the learning, "What was your favorite rhyme? Why would an author choose to rhyme? How do word families help us read?"
Great exploration of the readings. Good model for #edu407 Nice job starting to use the affordances of digital writing by including images. Make sure to remember our friends who use screen readers. When using images with lot's of text you can fit that in the alt="" tag (there is a text box for this in WordPress) you should explain the same information in your
Great advice from https://vanderven.se/martijn/ https://martymcgui.re/ and https://Rosemaryorchard.com on ideas for "Simple Guestbook for Your Website" Project in the #IndieWeb dev channel. Thanks all. Now have a strong learning goal formulated to move forward tomorrow.
Tomorrow's lesson: from https://martymcgui.re/ " sqlite could be good for that. single-file database great for small data sets." Be a perfect tool the "Simple Guestbook for Your Website Project."
This is where I got today in trying to make my h-card guestbook. https://gist.github.com/jgmac1106/fc680e2bf6436a37a3fce699b81e9a9b Figured if I am going to fool around @withknown better get basics of php down, that's it for today....uggh I hate profiles unfulring...
