#edu307 as it is poetry month teachers think about how many of your student athlete's approach poetry from the field: https://karlenewelles.wordpress.com/2019/04/04/poetry/ make this connection explicit and celebrate poetry in motion on paper and on the field #literacies #nctevillage
#edu407 Brittney provided us with a good think aloud scrip in this lesson plan: https://dubretedu407.wordpress.com/2019/03/27/supporting-beginning-readers-in-reading-to-learn/ only thing I would ad is to make sure you model, model, model before you prompt. Use the language of "what would good readers do" etc
And in post-colonial nations emerging directly into a mobile first world the results are more frightening. We are talking about the recolonizing of the world as mercantile powers seize control of your identity and data.
Jessica check out this Disney blogging challenge #edu307 Interesting to think how much our stories are shaped by mass media and toys. We too often ignore play as the most common form of children's literature (and marketing as dominant text of play) but h/t to anyone who blogs about passion. Writing without passion is writing without purpose. https://david.sh
@jessDearie Shows importance why we need to double down efforts on #webliteracy and how we #teachtheweb, we can allow our children to do identity work online or allow this work to be sold back to them through the constant drugs of envy and notifications
#edu407 you can check out Sandra's comprehension lesson plans to see examples of assessments tightly aligned with the learning objectives that also scaffold the knowledge growth that will allow evidence to emerge in the assessment. https://sabblogblog.wordpress.com/2019/04/18/comprehension-i/
#edu407 Here is a a good offline digital inquiry lesson plan: https://anaspreschoolcorner.home.blog/2019/04/27/lesson-plan-inquiry-and-digital-text/ Using images to convey meaning is such an important part of writing and reading now
#edu407 This is a good lesson analyzing characters. Focus your lesson plan on this. You do not need to include every objective and every standard your lesson will touch. Just those that you plan to measure. I would also read the book a second time to really focus in on the characters after you introduced them on the first read.
Elizabeth your real estate friends are always welcome to come to Homebrew Website Club New Haven...It's the same time as our open design studio (same thing really)....We have one this Wednesday.... Here is a rough draft of a website I am working on http://elmcitywebmakers.com/ and a flyer https://elmcitywebmakers.com/flyer.pdf
I try to avoid starting the digital #literacies conversation from a place of plagiarism. As an educator assume the best in children. Plagiarism mistakes often made out of lack of knowledge about summarizing rather than malice. When you trace things like #digcit (digital citizenship) you will see we always approached digital education like the web was this bi
@bonstewart @davecomier @sherryedwards @lawrie @katemfd threw down some quick thoughts on what I think the #ProSocialWeb needs (spoiler alert never talked about new tech or networks) https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/04/25/seven-steps-to-prosocialweb #ProSocialWeb
So I think the #prosocialweb has to deliberately design for diversity and inclusion. Let us recognize if we do not increase efforts around web literacy we will amplify the inequality of the past.
Entrenched power and systems also hurt #prosocialweb. Web is thirty years old. Every industry is a tech industry.. Yet how many departments in #HigherEd have someone in that field who knows web and tech.... It's usually zero... How does that happen?
Ursula Franklin writes about importance of friction in holistic tech.... The difficulty leads to unique art. The push for friction free is path to conformity. Social media silos no different #prosocialweb
