@DavidKnuffke Thanks I will tweak the final digital essay to make it more focused on an outcome.
Greg McVerryThat is my goal to find new ways to provide new avenues for students to participate in the practices new digital texts & tools allow #edchat
Greg McVerrydraft of a syllabus for an into to tech class for our incoming freshman or sophomores. Would love feedback: http://bit.ly/LkbUP9 #edchat
Greg McVerryShameless plug. We still have 8 spots for the MA New Literacies Institute http://bit.ly/JiazTL #edchat #iste12
Greg McVerryIt doesn't sound like much but foregrounding PD in the content goal rather than the tool can go a long way for new audiences #edchat
Greg McVerryToo much PD is driven by the tool. Like the tech the pedagogy needs to be agnostic. Also the focus of tool use. #edchat
Greg McVerry@Mel_Dooley @tdallen5 I wonder if there are teachers whose dispositions or world view will never be open. Can they be encouraged? #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @StudyHelpSite: Sometimes I am afraid we are creating tech consumers and not creators. How many know how to program? #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @wkrakower: This helps so many students especially sped RT: @jgmac1106 Agreed. Reading and writing are now joined by audio/visual lit ...
Greg McVerry@JoeTweeta I would have never have seperated them ;) But you are right the multimodal transgenre nature of texts is crucial. #edchat
Greg McVerryshifts in tech require online: collaboration, comprehension, and content construction. This involves new knwlge and prctce #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @FredEnde: @tkraz Very true. But, if teachers can utilize tech to further pedagogical knowledge = homerun. #edchat
Greg McVerryStop thinking about it as simply a tech issue. It is also a text issue. Reading and writing have shifted. Literacy is everyones job #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @Joe_Mazza: @trescolumnae It's OK if u don't know. Plenty of folks here to help. But don't avoid it for rhose reason-that's negligenc ...
Greg McVerry@FredEnde Agree. The worst assumption we can make is that a student who can load an ipad can take on the load of discourse #edchat
Greg McVerry@FredEnde Meet them in middle. Students mite be able to find stuff (maybe) but they cant analze and integrate. Leverage ur knowledg #edchat
Greg McVerryyet I do not think we can advantage tech. It is a tool that can be quite useless without the pedagogy and content. #edchat
Greg McVerryTech allows me a) differentiate instruction, b) remove barriers of time and space, c) empower disenfranchised, d) have fun and play #edchat
