Our #edu506 Disciplinary #Literacies Questions

Students completed a 3-2-1 in reaction to the readings. They had to list three things they learned, two things, they found interesting, and one question they still had. Here are there questions: How can we better educate teachers on how to use different texts with children. For example, what resources are there for teachers to help with selecting text that a

My Support for CT HB5376 which eliminates EdTPA in Connecticut #literaces #edchat #teacheredchat #edu506 #edu307 @ctmirror

This is a reply to an editorial : Thank you all for engaging in this important topic, though I do not think the author was suggesting no assessment in student teaching. Violet Jiménez Sims suggested that EdTPA is the WRONG assessment not that all assessment is bad. The author argued for local control based on high quality feedback rather than handing over te

Our Introduction to the Learn Something module in #edu106 @scsu using a #connectedlearning lens in our #literacies class

We began class with a check-in. Every class begins with an entrance slip where students blog about their writing. I use this technique to take advantage of instructional minutesd but also allow students who have back to back classes across campus make it before we start new material. We then went over expectations of our second module "Learn Something" We fi

Questions About the "Case Study" #edu506

When enough students ask you for clarification you realize that your assignment description needs improvement. This is happening with the "case study" assignment in #edu506. I put case study in quotes because the assignment does not reflect our shared definition of a case study. My original error was calling a thing the wrong thing. Instead of a case study w

Developing our Shared criteria for blogging in #edu106 #netnarr

This week we began clas by first examining patterns we found in our first three weeks of blog posts: You folks were highly critical of each other and yourself! Please understand that when these patterns emerge it is not the fault of the students but of the instructor not laying out clear expectiations. Next I role played with you showing two different ways o

So My Last #poetryPort Poem for remix failed, which to me is no better way to honor that which is all poetry, remix

It was supposed to live here at https://jgregorymcverry.com/heavenlyremixes It was a remix of me, some NASA images, and inspiration and words from Alistair Reynolds. Work is hard science poetry. Gotta slog through universe development but I dig the questions left in spaces between words. Poem didn't work. I messed it up. I think might just be the image size.

Poetry is Risk A #clmooc #poetryport poem as a gift to poets willing to risk it all spilling truth in their falsehoods #writingcommunity

Poetry is risk verse running into danger unwanted events spilled on paper As probability of poetry puddles in human misery Expectations of hope grounded in fear objective becomes subjective prosody of broken words in rebel poets 18 whiskeys deep "mad bad, dangerous to know" Poetry spits in the face of probability of errors embraces the sin in syntax A primar
