I am very proud of this page. First pages I have taken from paper prototype and built myself because of #teachtheweb (while remixing html/css from a variety of sources). The link to the CV only works on my card but I will finish off everyone else's soon. The one think I could not nail perfectly is my CSS positioning. I used floats so character count moves el

@benwerd There should be a level of cooperation for those who may not be able to contribute code. I file issues on different github repos but would have no idea how to bring those ideas into reality. Still I hope I am being useful and not trollish. In terms of your model why not build in a little bit more of a Patreon model. I know it cou;dn't be taken to sc

Me and The Search Bubble #digped

@jgmac1106 @heatherwalder Incognito doesn’t filter out IP address influences, right? Does DDG? (I’ve never considered this.) #digped — Chris Friend (@chris_friend) August 12, 2015 As part of #digped folks were Googling themselves. I discussed how search results are now curated and influenced by those we follow, where we are, and what we have searched for in

Was worried that my online class Language Arts: A Development Approach did not cover enough on the topic of writing instruction in #digped. There were a variety of reasons: -The 13 week online class had to be completed in 3 weeks. This meant material had to go. -There are pre-service and certified teachers in the class. Elementary certification in CT require

Defining #WebLiteracy as we must #teachtheweb

As part of our language arts class we had to choose from a few options for a cumaltive project. I chose to work on the "flipped classroom" videos that have emerged as an instructional genre. In the flipped model background knowledge and lecture material are delivered out of class so the work with the material can be done inside. I use the term more loosely o

Few Recent Pages I Have Been Building #clmooc #teachtheweb #literacies

As part of a graduate class we have been discussing what it means to learn to read and write. We have discussed the correlations between core skills such as phonemic aawareness and phonics while reading Heath, Au, and Gee. Much of the discussion has revolved around the boundaries of explicit instruction, the role of poverty, and if reading is taught as a cul

Engaging in Discourse About Your Work

I have searched high and low for the magic sauce. I haven't found it yet. I want the ingredient that makes community flourish in the online classes I teach. I blamed the LMS. Studnets just worked through assignments and if you said post and respond twice. That is exactly what they did. I realized it is in't the LMS that suck it was me. I tried every configur
