Asking for a quick favor. We are working feverishly on the #FeministIn(ter)ventions conference. As a steering committee we just released the RFP. Please spread the word. The 22 nd Women’s Studies Conference “#FeministIn(ter)ventions: Women, Community, Technology” To be held on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University Friday and Saturday, April 15
Greg McVerry@chadsansig @hannahkane How does Planet Webmaker http://planet.webmakerprototypes.org/ work? I remember @toolness maintaining a spreadsheet. An RSS reader for clubs and professional development would be awesome. Be cool if we had a spreadsheet to RSS feed. Kind of like how jstimeline3 works. You publish a GSheet template to the web, paste in code and get an
Greg McVerryToday we held our second #MakerMonday Challenge in #EDU106. Last Monday we had off. The first challenge (two weeks ago) I collected a bunch of junk from around the school and said make me something. This week I threw HTML at the class and said make me something. For most of the students they would look behind the curtains of the Web for the first time. I tur
Greg McVerryHello everyone I got a few questions about the workflow for the class. I know it has felt chaotic with the new tools, the tight space, and the classroom renovations. I want you to know that everyone will get off the ground smoothly. This class is organized into modules. Each module last two weeks. Each module you will iterate on one project we make in class.

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

Greg McVerryI recieved a question from a teacher at Northwest Catholic High School . I am helping the school launch a 1:1 iPad initiative . As part of the workflow teachers can set up a classroom website using Known ,an open source learning platform designed for educators. We do not yet use a Known Campus licesened site yet. During the pilot year teachers are building t

@erinjo @Onlinecrslady Could you then set up the homepage view to display only posts and add another page that displayed the status updates? @withknown
Greg McVerry@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
Greg McVerryAs 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

Google's mission is to organize all the world's information...not the information that France deems fit.
Greg McVerryAs 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
Greg McVerry@Mozilla Club Bio Sheets https://jgmac1106.makes.org/thimble/MTE2NTI5NjEyOA==/mozilla-club-bio-sheets I made this from scratch today. This http://codepen.io/melsumner/pen/EkzlG and this https://advocacy.mozilla.org/open-web-fellows/ served as inspiration but this is really one of the first things I have coded from storyboard through completion. I still need
Greg McVerryI 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

#edreform When you hire the vice president for government relations for the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, which advocates for charters to oversee charters, do not be surprised when they fudge numbers to make charters look better.
