After discovering @AsaoBInoue's work, I'm excited about the ideas of #laborbasedgrading and #contractgrading but feel somewhat flummoxed about how I can best apply it to my high school biology and ecology courses.
Any ideas or references?
@comicsocks @AsaoBInoue Ahh, I see. Thx! I'm not sure how to value individual assignments with points / weighted categories and get the math to work out properly.
So if I understand correctly, I could say all the assignments = 0 pts and then have one that is their total grade
@comicsocks @AsaoBInoue Any advice on how to make it work in [Canvas LMS] gradebook? I'm starting to play around with weighted categories in a spreadsheet...

Heads up teachers, be sure your zoom classes are set to *require* users to join with their district account. Kids are sharing zoom links with the hashtag zoomclasscodes and even telling trolls which name to login as.
@jenna_scheub @comicsocks @AsaoBInoue It can be scary at first. But I promise the buy in from them is epic. Even in HS. Maybe especially so in HS. Treat them like humans. They respond.
@comicsocks @AsaoBInoue Yes, that's what I've been thinking so far. Like Plickers and Pear Deck are part of participation labor; and completing practice is another part of the contract...
I wonder especially about assessments. Do I keep them at all? I have traditionally offered unlimited quiz retakes
Someone asked me this the other day and I said NO!
"should we require students to keep their cameras on during synchronous, online sessions (a.k.a in Zoom)?
The short answer is no, absolutely not,"

@KendraCameronJ @cultofpedagogy @Flipgrid @CanvasLMS I tried using the #flipgrid integration in #canvas this fall but found some of my students couldn't get it to work. @KendraCameronJ did you have those issues at all? I'm thinking about trying it again second semester but without the integration?
"Everything I know about this topic but wasn't asked on the test."
WOW. Talk about a GREAT strategy to avoid the "gotcha" game on quizzes/tests. Empowers students to show what they know! #DitchSummit#DitchBook#edchat#powerfulteaching
