@JohnFea1 Done!

@drantbradley This yr has been the first yr I have some 8th graders who are resisting learning truth in the classroom - all very verbal pro-Trumpers who are having a hard time engaging with past reality that doesn’t fit their learned narrative

[Ranae Vos @RanaeVos]

@drantbradley 100%. I now teach history in an evangelical school in the South. My 7, 8, and 11th graders always welcome learning hard truths in Am Hist, but I get pushback from parents every year. Admin told me in my first yr to “not teach so much about black people” bc “ppl are concerned”

Why is teaching about historical context so hard?

@d_mulder Your online learning modules resemble this design... Any changes you would suggest? #DU508

A6&7:TIM is a good model to look to for practical guidance, but Schuurman also points us to creational norms to ensure our use of tech serves God and helps humans flourish: cultural appropriateness, transparency, stewardship, delightful harmony, justice, caring, and trust. #DU508

"Are we intentionally instituting oppositional and distrustful stances against our own students? Are we fostering the creation of graduates who will shrug at the infringement of their civil liberties as adults because their families and educators have done so for years?" #DU508

A2: Levine: "Should school districts be complicit in the hypersurveillance of our young people? What messages do we send our students when we monitor their every action and send out weekly reports?" #DU508

[Ranae Vos @RanaeVos]

A1: The most intriguing thing I've learned in my EdTech class so far is the diffusion of tech theory and the study of leadership in the field. Can a follower also be a leader? What are the real implications for me in my school? #DU508

@ColleenVeenend1 Check out Ryan MacRaild's comment under McLeod's post. It has some ways to integrate the same tech better

"Technology might be able to put answers into our hands, but it's coming up with the questions that generates actual wisdom." -Jonathan Strickland. #DU508

@gocyclones14 I do too! The internet went down for an hour the other day, and I felt like I couldn't teach without it!

[Ranae Vos @RanaeVos]

@RRaakman My 8th graders just asked me what the "box thing with a handle" was sitting on the office counter. I went to go look. It was a portable radio/CD player.
