@amirad @thornet @epilepticrabbit The About Me page is also a good scaffold. The movie poster make is a good step-up scaffold, https://teach.mozilla.org/clubs/curriculum/ Maybe we add all of these to privacy. I could see "make a meme" some kind of advocacy or awareness meme, about me page: deciding to shape your own identity, movie poster- tell the story of

@amirad @thornet @epilepticrabbit reading over Basics I again https://teach.mozilla.org/clubs/curriculum/ we should have included make-a-meme. Needs more scaffolding between writing the web and participating on the web. I found using the make-a-meme remix to be a good way to teach basic CSS and HTML. It fits nicely after Hacking the News. There are also easy

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

@mtechman Melissa and I were discussing #AERA15 and how awesome it is when conferences have wifi. The cost of providing wifi is astronomical but essential. She brought up the idea of the edcamp unconference model. That got me thinking how could we do a #literacies unconference. If there were enough folks interested I would be more than happy to help organize

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

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

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

(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.
