Memes in Education #neisdpln

So you want to learn the secret sauce of using memes in education? What makes ideas spreadable? How can you use memes in the classroom for literary analysis? How do we do it, inspire others, and not go crazy? How do we keep kids sharing safe content. There is art to it all. Using memes is more than just throwing a quote on a pic. It is multimodal composition

Counting Things and Making Things That Count and #AERA15 reflection

@emamjohnson trust me. I like counting things and making things that count. Runs deep in the DNA #AERA15 — Greg McVerry (@jgmac1106) April 18, 2015 Had a wonderful conversation with Emily Johnson about assessment at AERA. I am glad to see Twitter pick up at AERA and want to engage in academic discourse. Twitter at AERA looks more like a broadcast channel and

Inaugural "Open Fluency" Calls for #teachtheweb

Laura Hilliger organized the first Mozilla Learning Networks call around "Open Fluency." This is part of Laura's ongoing charge of Teach Like Mozilla. Here is the pad. Not sure if the call was recorded if was I will add audio later. I am excited for the calls we brought much of the old #webliteracy team back together plus added in Mozilla reps and a more div

Attempting to Remix Academic Writing #dmlcommons #walkmyworld #teachtheweb

I steal from Alan Levine quite often. I am most prod of hauling away a backstage blog from an open course he co-facilitated as part of #YouShow15 . Then yesterday during #tjc15 folks started asking me about the role of having a back stage blog. So I wanted to show an example. Once again stole from cogdog. He posted a final report from #YouShow15 . I loved th

Four (maybe three) lessons I have learned from #teachtheweb to inform #mozacademy

We need to build the Web not use the Web I can't build the crazy stuff yet, but I am getting good at messing up stuff in new ways. The Web is at a crossroad, and open tools are becoming more diverse. It is time to not just understand the open Web but build the open Web Philanthropic Entrepreneurial Activism That pretty much sums up the Mozillian spirit in my

#Mozacademy and microbusinesses #teachtheweb

Thinking about liberal licenses and the Mozilla Web Club curriculum. Great discussion on Git about the difference between free and open. Glad to see folks like David Ascher and Atul Varma recognizing the power of entrepreneurail activism.

(re)Discovering my Personal Statement #DMLCommons Pathways

Since #dmlcommons is doing the pathways series simultaneously with DBR I thought I would share soemthing I found while pretending I was going to organize my file. This was my original personal statement when I applied to my doctorate program (had to apply a second time but that is another story). Technology has reshaped literacy by creating new means of comm

Design Research, #TeachtheWeb and #DigPed: Scholarship that Matters

Thanks a lot @jgmac1106 u gave the power and support for us things should be done wen we do along.. @I day halo @CoderdojoErode @GauthRaj — Udhaya$achin (@udayhalo) April 4, 2015 I consider Mozilla Learning to be the worlds biggest Design Based Research Project. I wish there was a metaphorical equivalent of the Hydra that did not have a negative connotation.

Opt-Out in NY: Now a Civic Duty not just a Parental Right #edreform

I used to believe opt-out was a parental right. I now see it as a civic responsibility in New York. What is underway is a direct attack on public education under the guise of raising standards. I have no real problem with the CCSS, especially when states like NY addressed many of the short comings, through customization. It is the destructive effects of acco

#dmlcommons What if?

What if they weren't MOOCs but live formations of Special Issues in Open journals? Learners make, facilitators lead, everyone learns. The curstion ofartifacts then analyzed in public. Knowledge creation through curation?
