  • As part of the social media class, my students are required to set up a network of online mentors using social media tools.
  • This semester, I asked my students to “curate” that information the way a museum curator would curate an art exhibit.

Digital Writing Month - 0 views

  •  
    Digital Writing Month is a (somewhat) insane month-long writing challenge, a wild ride through the world of digital writing, wherein those daring enough to participate wield keyboard and cursor to create digital projects of text, image, and/or sound in the thirty days of November. Modeled after the inspirational National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), DigiWriMo asks writers to be creative not just with their words, but also with other digital media -image, video, and sound - and with what those media can do. We will work to redefine "writing" in the digital, and not confine it only to words, but open up the possibilities of narrative and exposition within multimedia and multimodal projects. Where that "writing" resides, what it looks like, how it interacts with other works and authors, is entirely up to the wild imaginings of each DigiWriMo participant. Writers may choose to collaborate with one another on a long piece, like a novel or collection. They may conspire, co-author, cooperate, collude, or even compete… Blog posts, Twitter essays, podcasts, music videos, wiki novels, a tv pilot co-authored in a Google Doc, slideshows, academic articles, massively co-authored poems, songs, and novels are all potential ways to cross the finish line. The point is to experiment, to push our boundaries and create, and to locate our creations on the web, in relationship with other creations, other words and other authors. You do it your way, whatever way that is, and we'll provide the applause.

Kevin's Meandering Mind | If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. ~ Charl... - 3 views

  • we were not sure how it would go, but it soon become clear that the kids are alright

      OK, this is the secret sauce of teaching and critical pedagogy in general:  trust.  I love how more often than not, the kid really are alright.

  • We teamed up our classes, and each group worked on a coding activity at Code.org based on the movie, Frozen, where the task is to create visual fractals with Blockly code.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      It would be of real value to know how you decided on this particular activity.  What drew you to it? Why did you think it might bridge your students? Was there a Plan B?  Just would be neat to know how you decided to take the teaching risk this particular way.  If it was just a hunch, they why do you think you had that hunch?  I suspect that you both have a long history together where this is an almost seamless colllaboration but teasing your process out even a little bit might very well help others--like me.

Hour of Code Collaboration 2014 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! - 2 views

  •  
    Pictures of the backs of kids heads means they are really eyes front and really digging it.  Also...the hands.  When I taught eighth graders and was particularly frustrated with the day, I trained myself to observe their hands.  They were still children's hands.  I don't know why but that always triggered the empathy juice. Good to see.  Were most pairs of the same gender?

  • Dave that the edu systems of today are made from historical remnants that no longer apply for what our edu goals for today should be
    • Terry Elliott
       
      So much of how I analyze mod. ed problems is informed by the idea the future is not only already here (federatedwiki for example) but a moving target that is always unevenly distributed.  To me much of the prob with education is its uneven distribution.
  • Why can’t we just have more teachers who care to have students care about learning and who care to foster agency?
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Exactly,  thinking in complexity terms, we need to change the simplest set of initial conditions for learning.  That will reform any system.  We still can't predict where those conditions will emerge,but we sure know where the conditions are leading our students now.
