Using Twitter to engage students.

My children's teachers were using FlipGrid for fun activities in their classroom so I decided to modify and use it in my classroom! We are now performing our skill checks on FlipGrid and the students are loving it! They also have to review two or three of their classmates each week and their responses are videos as well with corrective techniques. When we return to on campus classes, we will continue to use this as an additional psychomotor assessment!

This paper explains very clearly the meaning of multiliteracies and multimodality. In education this pedagogy brought new teaching and learning methods which are different from traditional approaches that focused on monomodal tools for learning. Multiliteracy gives flexibility in teaching and learning. Students learn in different ways, some of them prefer linguistic expression while others are more open to multimodal forms.

This paper raises serious doubts regarding the success of our educational system in preparing students for the knowledge society. According to the author the knowledge economy "...holds the promise of changing, to our benefit, some of the most deep-seated and universal regularities of economic life and of dramatically enhancing productivity and growth. Its effects, however, have so far proved modest." The disruption brought by the new technologies can cause an even bigger inequality in societies. Worth thinking about it.

A couple of years ago the optimistic view on virtual schools prevailed. For several students this learning environment provided the safety they had lacked in traditional schools either because emotional, social or other reasons.
