Yes building out word walls and showing kids patterns are a great way to learn. Never understood a vocabulary, maybe a section on a measure of content knowledge but not testing vocabulary for vocabulary's sake. Immerse kids in words and measure how they use vocabulary not how they recite it.

#edu407 And the data supports your conclusion. In Connecticut we have much to do in the area of numeracy. We have some persistent differences in subgroup scores but in general, our reading and writing scores are high in Connecticut. We need to think about meaning making with numbers. #numeracy so much more than solving algorithms.

Hey @goifoundation scratch that. Our mediawiki install does not have a visual editor. If you know of anyone in the @wikipedia community who might want to contribute we have some extensions like the file uploader and visual editor to add. I could learn but never efficient and not always effective.

@wiobyrne and I are there so you know #openbadges will be discussed, especially now that Salesforce and Credly both have patented systems (Why the #FOSS and #EFF community did not get outraged over this???) we need to consider alternative to emerging silos.

And we are also into #edtech we want the badges and chatbots and AI. We believe we can have this without the exploitation. So we will explore alternatives. We have to. We are in teacher preparation. Institutional assessment is a reality, everyone knows we are drowning in data but the only solution folks seem to agree on is adding more water.

@oer_cameroon If you want to get involved in what the @goifoundation is doing please do! We had to find a $200 US sponsor, but that was enough to launch a pilot for quite a few folks. I can't fundraise but happy to help if you jump on board. #oer19 #oer

@goifnetwork if you save the @withknown app to your home screen on your mobile it makes for a great app experience. Image uploader and source code editor leave something to be desired but that is outdated TinyMCE, fix is coming soon I am sure.

Except the digital can erase the false scarcity of knowledge that poverty often reinforces,
