@Brian_Zink Thank you for sharing my thinking. I like your idea of exploring pathways more in depth.
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson I Will. @OpenBadges
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson Great piece in Huffington Post BTW. First time I read it. Glad to see folks out there thinking with reason and pushing back
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson Based on the article as well it doesn't seem Nashville wants to use #openbadges to rank teachers but to recognize PD.
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson Yes fear of badges renders them useless, but VAM is useless, I agree with authors that vigorous observation system key.
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson I agree top-down butts in seat as the only metric is a horrible PD system. We need something connected to stdnt lrng
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson Thats part of the promise (if done right) teachers could select their learning pathways based on student needs and SLO
Greg McVerry@rkiker thx I would send you a ponystream but didnt want to flood your hangouts
Greg McVerry@rkiker Here is the second call: https://bostonpublicschools.cloud.talentedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.aspx?JobID=1029 no worries if you can't but you know most qualified #gafe instructors
Greg McVerry@rkiker Can you share these job postings across your networks BPS is a #GAFE school looking for experienced tchrs. https://bostonpublicschools.cloud.talentedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.aspx?JobID=1019
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson You should listen in on the #openbadges community call in an hour. May persuade your thinking: http://bit.ly/OBcallMay7
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson Could go up in flame., #openbadges only work if communities recognize value but being able to trace learning pathways huge
Greg McVerry@drjohnthompson Right now records based on hours in seats, no connection in evidence. #openbadges have attached metadata linked to evidence
Greg McVerry@Plotagon Nice characters and settings. Be well placed as a go to sources for making instructional materials for blended classrooms.
Greg McVerry@brholland @KerryHawk02 @JGriff_Teach it is a great idea. I have tried to screencast my revision process but never works. #TeachWriting
Greg McVerry@rhillman83 I have to prewrite and do my "real" thinkin in paper based. Don't know why. #TeachWriting
Greg McVerry@EngTutorsOnline @KatieNovakUDL @bookisheducator I am bad at this. I often publish first and revise later. #TeachWriting
Greg McVerry@SFecich I am, but if it is #engchat driven I want to run it by facilitators.
Greg McVerry@TeachMoore I use @feedly to keep track of all student blogs. #TeachWriting I also cycle through and dont comment on all.
Greg McVerry@bookisheducator We have to try and show what it means to write and write about how we write in the open. Stress reflection. #TeachWriting
