How We Misrepresent the School Security Guard

The school to prison pipeline is a common trope in edreform circles. Both sides, those who favor accountability based reform and those who favor community based reform, use statistics of recidivism and incarceration to their own gain. An often cited symbol is the school security guard. They are described as brooding figures who will themeselves throw student

Research Opportunity: Identities & Teaching. #teacheredchat #ntchat #teacherprep #walkmyworld

Dear Student, Do you plan to be a teacher? Do you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex (lgbtqi)? Are you interested in talking more about how your sexual orientation and your professional life may intersect? As a former lesbian teacher, the wife of a lesbian high school teacher, and a professor who works with future teachers, I

The Problem with List Servs and #ConnectedLearning

List servs work, and work well. That's there major drawback. It is hard to move academics off of a tool that has functioned long before the Web. Yes it comes with the baggage of bad email practices we suffer through at work: Unecessary reply-alls, threads being hijacked, threads getting too long and complex, people replying to older threads with totally new

Thinking #teachtheweb long game

Had a great club call today. Debated on whether to meet in April. This was the last call of the quarter. I guess that is the private sector equivalent of the end of the semester. I think people are tired. Rightfully so. As soon as the Web Literacy Map and the Club Curriculum teams finished everyone had to hit the hyperdrive. Content was written by the #teach

This is the first slider I ever made. Doesn't work with mobile. Thinking I need to just install a plug-in rather than figure it out. I really want to figure it out. It probably involves jquery. Gonna install. Update: Spent a good chunk of time learning about Responsive design yesterday. Was able to fix the image resizing. Centering the text span for both des

I don't know the history of modern design but it fascinates me. It is as if Design is becoming more of a standard rather than a trend. The rise of minimal, flat, material (not sure what its called) design happened so fast. I don't know what drove it. Was it Apple turning away from skeumorphic design; Medium ushering in an era of large header images, line spa

#TeachtheWeb HacktheNews Live Reflection

This is my collection of posts that were supposed to go out as a Live Tweet Chat last night. I was accidently replying to my own post so nothing was syndicated to Twitter. I will be spending today taking the screenshots and the video and parsing them down into something that is more useful than my stream on incoherent thoughts. Okay huge PITA. I was trying t
