A4: I mean as educators we are search engines for our students. They ask us questions. If my students as me about famous scientists and I tell them about all these old white men and omit the great female, queer, non-white scientists in the world, I'm just as bad #schmiteracies
A3: In science I find this tough in picking which resources to endorse and give credibility to. How do we reconcile this with wanting students to draw conclusions from their own observations? #schmiteracies
A2: I think that using media that they are familiar with and experts in (like twitter potentially) and applying them in different contexts (tweeting observations for a lab demonstration) helps validate the literacies that they have and build science literacy #schmiteracies
A1: I would need to know how to use the tech, what its limitations are, how it is used outside of classroom settings, and would need to know that students will be receptive to it in a productive manner #schmiteracies
A2: I think for science specifically we need to draw on students' own words to define the complicated jargon in ways that actually have meaning. Unfortunately I still think that students need to know how to code-switch so they have access the scientific research #schmiteracies
@anterobot just watched this vid and it got me thinking about how even the names we choose can be our identity texts and how important that statement is for people of trans experience https://t.co/z4MwBa9qQk #schmiteracies#glitteracies
A1: What isn't literacies? The more we talk about our literacies and our students' the more I think this is my answer. Literacies are any and all ways we take in information, process it, and communicate it to other people. #schmiteracies
@sofihalpin @ncasenmare And if you ever want to talk about that anxiety you have our fellow QTs for support โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐(this is Brendan btw)
@sofihalpin @ncasenmare I went in blind and that was the exact concern I had about causing anxiety for people not out to their parents. I know if I weren't out it would shoot me to the back of the closet. I am interested to hear how straight cis people react though #glitteracies#schmiteracies
@makingmryang@anterobot Interesting to see the tag lines that come out (like โask the studentsโ) basically forming our own word clouds #schmiteracies
A4: It will help students navigate a world that values the dominant culture. Yes they shouldnโt have to and we can embrace and integrate their secondary literacies into the classroom but that will not change the world they live in (at least not yet) #schmiteracies
A3: I think itโs better for teachers to define what it means to be good than those who profit off being good at one very particular skillset #schmiteracies
A2: My ideas come from what Iโve been praised for doing and what set me apart from the students going through the actions without knowing why #science#schmiteracies
