Innovative Teaching and Learning, Agile in Education

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

Hit this milestone while doing Esperanto. Working on conlang course for high school students, so why not!?

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

I’m working again on my DIY Language course. Went back to Esperanto for inspiration. Mi satas lingvojn kaj ni povas ludi kun ili!

Happy Holidays! In a flurry of reducing my To Do list, I've posted three blogs on student and teacher agency this week, based on the podcasts Future Learning Design and Overthrowing Education. https://t.co/jeqoASuylC @LeysinAmericanS @Moreland_MU @teb_logan @batshevafrankel

@guideandlead Agree. Trying to keep the far wider choice available - but lots of general school pressure to revert to the norm …

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@severinhacker Sort of embarrassed to share because some will say I need to get out more … when can you visit us in Leysin? Boarding school kids would love to ask you questions about Duolingo and being an entrepreneur.

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@Reedy @duolingo Absolutely!

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@skrashen All time favorite you ask? "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." Kudos to @duolingo, too, for slipping it in at least once!

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@skrashen This is my second favorite Chomsky quote. Absolutely right on and I continue to try to live and model this, though not always easy.

I'm reading today from the Scab Faerie and a few other books to students from the Escola Internacional de Alphaville, Brazil. @BPPress

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@Kareemfarah23 Yep. We call this slack. Question is … how long to wait for réengagement? One answer is of course: It depends.

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@liamprinter @ipryce @daisychristo Important to remember there are other ways, that is for sure. I get grumpy when I hear new schools feel they have to adopt IB to be relevant and attract students. That isn’t right. Or when schools give up on innovative curriculum for the IB. Options and innovation are good.

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@skrashen 30 years later your formulation still highly relevant and often referred to (if not always adhered to). That says a lot for the theory, I think.

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

@liamprinter Yes. It’s hard for us teachers not to teach. But the goal is of course learning, so sometimes just get out of the way.

[Paul Magnuson @ZebMagnuson]

Workshop informed by agile focused on participant application of a number of practices - in local contexts. Consider joining us. https://t.co/Ybd10mIDSG

@Reedy Went to the restaurant where we were with you all for Valentine’s Day. Nice celebration and good memories.

@teb_logan @JuliaMiddleton @iborganization @CISEducation @CommonPurpose @TheCGCProject @ecis_kam @ECISchools @teach_overseas Great episode. Fit right in with current class @Moreland_MU too - thanks Tim and Julia.

@guideandlead Thx! I’m going to be guiding similar projects with student writers and artists this coming school year. For questions about this book see https://t.co/UXBtuLNMUK.
