@Ferrum_of_omega I pinged you on LinkedIn after seeing your note about the freeboid data science team, may have an opportunity that fits the skillset, not climate related, but matches much of what folks do
Greg McVerryOne of the best paths to student learning is to give students a website and a url and watch what happens. Let students write themselves on to the world. Teach differences between holistic and prescriptive tech #satchat
Greg McVerry#personalizedlearning is a snake oil sold by #edtech vultures #satchat
Greg McVerryI used to think death and retirement were the only pathways to innovation in #HigherEd I guess we can now add global pandemic to the list
Greg McVerryI have a bunch of video ideas folks can use in their online #k12 classrooms right now: https://jgregorymcverry.com/myvideos #satchat
Greg McVerryHey #satchat just want to give a shout out to the 6th grade middle school teachers of #EastHaddam who drove around yesterday after school in a parade to say hello to students and hand out "virtual prizes" earned during the week
Greg McVerryGive the kids a website, let them document their journey, they need to own and craft their story and identity, not hand over all the identity work to facebook, TikTok, and Instagram #satchat
Greg McVerryAccra, under lockdown. East Haddam, same. The global Covid-19 pandemic has lead to the cancellation of events across the globe. This Saturday we tried to hold a @wikipedia and @wikidata edit-a-thon as a remote event. We failed....I mean learned. We gave Hangotus a try and Zoom. Even without video, just using audio, network congestion ground us to a screechin
Greg McVerryMainly that personalized learning spent some time devolving into a definition of "computer adaptive testing" with assigned modules on a tablet/laptop...Too many #edtech firms sell it as a lie. #satchat
Greg McVerrykey to success in personalizedlearning also have those shared outcomes that can be taught across different pathways students choose, then build many, many (and two more) cognitive stops on the way to check progress and reflect #satchat
Greg McVerryI provide a sampler of every dish before I invite students up to the buffet line. As I scaffold learning they try each skillset but then specialize on a project of their choice. #satchat
Greg McVerryreflection, reflection, reflection. There is no #personalizedlearning without it. #satchat
Greg McVerryHey #satchat gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do with student choice is provide constraints: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/03/24/you-teach-creativity-through-constrainst-cut-paths-through-the-rhizomes #personalizedlearning
Greg McVerrya3: pencil, paper. Full stop. #satchat
Greg McVerryPlease build in lessons on criticality into your #personalizedlearning, build in choice but include themes of examining power, privilege, and prejudice, focus on action. Critcal #literacies is action #satchat
Greg McVerryChoice is not new in learning, see Dewey's "lived experiences" Montessori method, any study of African Diaspora Art. #personsalizedlearning is choice with a price tag #satchat
