@karenraycosta @angelajgreco i wonder what the tips look like for other LS from the same source? maybe something like the Barnum-Forer effect, but in an education context?

@MsZenTech may i recommend: https://t.co/HRlWP6enE7?

takes a minute to acclimate if you haven't used a password manager before, but once you're invested, it's hard to imagine our modern digital lives without it (or something like it).

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

High-stakes tests are garbage, pedagogically bankrupt assessment tools that act as a form of empirical facewash for "meritocracy."

@johnpmayer OBS at the moment

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@johnpmayer i should add, it's a single-camera setup and uses virtual cameras to create the screen landscape ala Twitch et al.

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@johnpmayer i made a platform-agnostic setup to get a Twitch-like, fully produced, experience in anything like Zoom, MS Teams, Hangouts, Slack, etc. still a bit cumbersome, but looks really nice.

@MrMitchell5th @Motiv8d_Mommi3 @teppy827 @DrRice1 @teachphilo @k_philo214 2/ disruption.
@caliorg had an awesome online course over the summer for law profs re: teaching online. many of them had never experienced online learning and it seemed like many benefitted a great deal from the experience. forced empathy! :) #ISDT5369

@MrMitchell5th @Motiv8d_Mommi3 @teppy827 @DrRice1 @teachphilo @k_philo214 1/ i agree! i'm a solid Oregon Trail Generation, so i lived this in a big way. it is a lot to add on top of everything else, though. extremely difficult for learners. if we learn how difficult it is for learners to balance all of this, I think we get closer 2 Couros' idea re:

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@DrRice1 have a great night and thanks for setting this up!

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@mc_kaylla @DrRice1 that's fair. if you'll forgive my imperfect analogy, i think my point still stands. to me, the pandemic has illuminated pre-existing inequity as well as strengthening it. i think it has been instructive for those of us fortunate enough to pontificate about it. #ISDT5369

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@Motiv8d_Mommi3 @teppy827 @DrRice1 @teachphilo @k_philo214 3/ also, i worry about tech changing while learners are in one ladder of vertical alignment. suppose new tech emerges several times in a learner's k-12 experience. should we teach the ability to learn new tech, specific tech, both? i think the former but it's tough #ISDT5369

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@Motiv8d_Mommi3 @teppy827 @DrRice1 @teachphilo @k_philo214 2/ disparities exist that need to be addressed. educators are in a good place to assist and advocate on behalf of their learners, but can't be the entire force of change themselves, nor can just ignore this and work around it. #ISDT5369

@teppy827 @MrMitchell5th @k_philo214 @Motiv8d_Mommi3 @DrRice1 oh, and soothing music, too! #ISDT5369

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@teppy827 @MrMitchell5th @k_philo214 @Motiv8d_Mommi3 @DrRice1 they are quick 10-15 minutes of silence and practicing breathing techniques. super chill! #ISDT5369

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@mc_kaylla @DrRice1 i think hurricane katrina wasn't so much a disrupter as a bright light. perhaps the pandemic is similar? #ISDT5369

[Brent @TechGreyson]

@MrMitchell5th @k_philo214 @teppy827 @Motiv8d_Mommi3 @DrRice1 we've had mindfulness sessions two days a week for a few years now. the prof that does them says they have had a lot more participants since it went online. :) maybe something to think about?
