Had a chance to sit down with @parlayideas & share some ways I use Parlay in my classes.

If you're not already using Parlay for student-driven discussions, I'd highly recommend it. our conversation at the link below, and reach out with any questions!

[Parlay Ideas @parlayideas]

We had the opportunity to interview @GameSethMatch to learn how he integrates Verbal RoundTable discussions throughout his instruction.

[Seth D. French, Ph.D. @GameSethMatch]

@arguflow @parlayideas - Through Parlay, my students are learning how to… 1) listen to other perspectives before sharing their own, 2) build on what others have said in thoughtful ways, 3) challenge ideas while still respecting the person who shared them, and other crucial skills…

Critical media literacy? Youth media? Multimodal literacy? All the many terms we use matter, but there are 3 unifying themes that pull them all together #ncte22

@JimHendren1 Arkansas is facing unprecedented challenges in recruiting and retaining teachers, and our legislature has a chance to take action. Take action to support a statewide pay raise for all certified teachers. #investineducation #ARedu

...The more teachers neglect the literacies students are engaging with outside the classroom as teaching opportunities, the more irrelevant the classroom will become for students and the less adept students will be in thoughtfully navigating the world outside the classroom.

[Seth D. French, Ph.D. @GameSethMatch]

A @washingtonpost article dropped today critiquing the "Media Education in ELA" position statement that some of my @ncte colleagues & I recently published. While I disagree with him, the common ground I hope we share is the desire to see all students excel in their literacies.

[Seth D. French, Ph.D. @GameSethMatch]

5. "I can see why the authors of the position statement want teachers to 'help learners develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for life in an increasingly digital and mediated world.' But could they please put that off for now?" Honestly, no...
