How Little People Can Be Invisible in the Open #cccert
This is a story of how powerful people’s voices are louder, get heard, used, perpetuated, even when they’ve been influenced by little people. And power here is relative, of course. Most people in this story are not the littlest Even worse: I see many people acknowledging different perspectives on open pedagogy now BUT STILL going on to use David’s “OER-enabl

Greg McVerryTrump's battle with Pelosi intensifies
Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) argued it was one thing for Trump to travel to Iraq to visit U.S. troops during the shutdown and another for Pelosi to do so. "I think the president of the United States represents the entire country as commander in chief, I think if he wants to speak to the troops, that it certainly honors our entire nation," Turner told CNN's Wolf
Greg McVerryGOP Rep. Jason Smith apologizes for telling Democrats to 'go back to Puerto Rico'
"There is a saying that I was taught by my parents, 'De todo lo malo, siempre sale algo bueno,' which in English means, 'From everything bad, something good will come of it,'" Cárdenas said in his statement.
Greg McVerryTrump admin weighed targeting migrant families, speeding up deportation of children
Funny thing intead of targeting mothers who walked 800 miles carrying children @realdonaldtrump could run on the success of the drop in illegal crossings from migrants. Instead he decides children will make a great pawn in his racist game. The draft also shows officials wanted to specifically target parents in migrant families for increased prosecutions, con
Greg McVerryThe problem with Finding the Main Idea
Another vapid non report from #edreform movement and a shame as I generally agree. Some points: This study is about reading assessment not instruction. It doesn't site one study that since the 80s finds moderate to high effect sizes for strategy instruction especially for struggling readers It doesn't cite any empirical research just a drive by citation of E
Greg McVerryUConn athletic department in 2018: generated $40 million in revenue, spent $81 million in expenses
Go Sportsball! Important education dollars at work. Though I do agree cultural investments like the arts and sports are important for a shared identity. But wow, that is expensive. This would be so much better invested in #BringBackTheWhale. I mean if we are investing $42 million dollars for sports for "play an important role in the life of the university an

Greg McVerryThe queen does not rule
Another great piece that has me thinking about ants and social networks Primarily, in a distributed process, there is never central control, while in division of labour there might be. A leader can tell one citizen to make candles and another to make shoes. In a distributed process this would happen through local interactions, for example with people who wan

Greg McVerryMorning Joe Charts: A Wall Won’t Fix the (Humanitarian) Crisis at the Border
the danger of women and children? A massive drop off in illegal crossings from migrants...where is the crisis.... How can race have nothing to do with this when the people complaining most about immigrants live in places without brown people? If terrorism was the reason we would build the wall in Canada not Mexico. The wall is a symbol of hate.
