Day 3: We figured out what these so-called ""theories"" really are and why they exist

Then, we designed our own frameworks!

Please enjoy these original theories by my undergraduate theorists 🍿

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

I am teaching an undergrad Learning Theories course this semester having SO much fun learning with this group ~

🧵Thus, I offer a living theoretical thread of the hits and the misses and the moments that made me 'break' laughing at the podium ~

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

@shirinblue If you haven't read this piece by @shirinblue, you should do that.

Without fail, it ends up being one of the most powerful pieces (for students) every semester.

Day 2: We read @shirinblue's "Intellectual Respect" blog post, shared (anon) truths of our own K-12 experiences, reacted to them (in silence), and then imagined & designed better futures for our younger selves

"I want to be the teacher that younger me deserved"
This ^ got me 🥹

Day 1: After 3 semesters of striking out with this reference, FINALLY I got a laugh at this slide

@TeamTheorist I really tried

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

@sofiasensory WHAT IF!! you are doing *the work* and I'm so excited to see it getting recognized 🔥

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

@mueller_char this session was so enlightening in so many ways! so glad we got to connect!

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

Have already downloaded several of these to share with my students!! Such awesome resources to help think about designing inclusive, justice-oriented spaces

*changes 50+ year policy in the middle of the night*

In what world is bashing 18 year olds with batons, pointing sniper rifles at them, and banning them from *checks notes* going home and taking finals an appropriate response to *checks notes* putting up a tent?

Laughable.

[IU Bloomington @IUBloomington]

IU encourages and respects free speech, including the right to peacefully protest and demonstrate.

Consistent with university policy, the installation of temporary structures requires advanced approval and camping is not allowed overnight. IU students, faculty, staff and visitors are expected to comply with both university policy and state law. Students are held accountable to the Student Code of Conduct.

These policies are in place to safeguard the IU community.

Are you really going to ARREST and BAN this woman from campus? Do you know who she is?

Dr. Barbara Dennis is an absolutely BELOVED School of Education faculty who represents the absolute best of us.

You should be ashamed @IUBloomington @IUpolice @IndianaUniv

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

@JennaThiele85 @CountessCanuck @IUBloomington @IUBProvost @idsnews One of my professors was literally arrested. People in our classes were thrown onto the ground. Not sure what to tell you other than they’re real people?

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

Why am I not being warned of the armed snipers and soldiers assaulting students on campus? @IUBloomington @IUpolice you should be embarrassed and ashamed.

[IU Police and Public Safety @IUpolice]

IUB final emergency update: There is no threat to safety. Resume normal activities.

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

This session is going to be *phenomenal* ~ @sofiasensory and I are *so proud* of this collective work and can’t wait to share it ✨ nobody is ready (including me)

(Doesn’t hurt that we get to introduce several of my academic inspirations either 🤯🥹)

[Sofia Tancredi @sofiasensory]

Excited to share that @_moravick and I will be chairing a hybrid-format symposium on intersectional dimensions of embodied learning at #ISLS2024 this June. Hope to see you there! #intersectionality #embodiment #learningsciences

[Morgan Vickery (she/her) @_moravick]

@MiaSShaw This semester I was getting so many selfies of students in front of wrecked cars and emergency rooms that I literally had an intervention with them…they shared how other instructors have required this kind of “proof” which breaks my soul 🫠

@ Especially the ed researcher / learning sciences folks!

Let’s see if you can put your theoretical money where your mouth is 👀

Take this quiz to see which learning theory comes closest to your own beliefs about teaching and learning!
