@sonnebornm01 @LaurenAngelone I completely agree with you! I was also shocked to hear about the penalties and the severity of them. (Especially regarding teachers!) #xuedchat
@alyssaxavier15 @LaurenAngelone I was also unaware of this before reading this article. I was surprised to hear about this especially if it is being used for educational purposes. This should be something that is taught in classes as I was never aware of this and have been teaching for years. #xuedchat
@LaurenAngelone A1: I was surprised to read that both of the statements below are not true.
1. You can use any image or text found online as long as it's used for education.
2. You can use any song in videos as long as it's less than 30 seconds.

3/3/ Step 3 #xuedchat
Analyze the production of the images through questions like 1. Are generalizations being made? 2. Why are similar images (2 white heterosexuals with 2 kids) representation of the word "family"? 3. How do other cultures propose representations of families?
1/3 Strategy that assist students in critically evaluating how gendered bodies are positioned in various texts:
Step 1 #xuedchat Have the students create a family portrait. Also, have them collect other examples of family portraits.
2/3 Step 2 #xuedchat
When finished, post questions and critically reflect on how gender/sexuality identities are represented. Questions like 1. How is gender represented? 2. How are they positioned? 3. What is "normal"? 4. What structure is missing? 5. Is this inclusive?
@LaurenAngelone A2: I will make my classroom more accessible by ensuring that students have what they need in order to complete the assignments I assign or time in class to complete them with the proper tools. #xuedchat
@LaurenAngelone A1: Significant takeaway from the readings this week is that as much as school systems and teachers are trying to decrease the digital divide by providing the tools for tech, there are still issues that need to be resolved. i.e student given laptop, no wifi at home #xuedchat
