@Hweihello @mchargue87 #ail601intersectionality I can imagine that you may feel so@w of those same pressures when asked to speak about all things Chinese. You can really only relay your personal experience. That must be burdensome.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@bwalkpro @mchargue87 #ail601intersectionality I realize that the term is defined to address the issues faced by black females, but that presumes that black men and white women’s issues have been addressed. I think we all know that they haven’t, and it is up to us to set the wheels of change rolling.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@mchargue87 #ail601intersectIonality I work in a ‘Mad Men’ environment that at its core still views white men as the upper class. I was totally caught off guard when I landed in the South from Boston, but I am committed to help my organization make the changes we need for a promising future.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@mchargue87 #ail601intersectionality to be honest? This is the very first that I have heard of this term and the first time it has been included as a topic in my higher-education journey. I did have an assignment on Inclusion in AIL609, but that’s not really the same thing. Eye opening!

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@bwalkpro @kdkeducate #ail601bt I agree that this model really enables the learner to grasp what the desired outcome before starting the learning process and clearly outlines how they will be called upon to demonstrate proficiency.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@Techy_HopeD #ail601bt. I think that Bloom’s Taxonomy is also a great tool for assisting with assessment. When you pair learning objectives with expected competencies using the same rubric - it’s a win!

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@kdkeducate #ail601bt. I primarily use Applying and Analyzing and Evaluating in my practice. I will provide a scenario of facts and ask learners to Apply their technical skills and understanding to Analyze the risk issues and then Evaluate the different options and outcomes.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@kdkeducate #ail601bt I think that Bloom’s Taxonomy is probably the most relevant tool of all. It continues to evolve with societal needs, is very straightforward, and easy to understand and apply. I use this tool all the time in my practice both to build and assess learning.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@Techy_HopeD #ail601tpack. For any technology implementation to be successful, the What’s In It For Me WIIFM must be clearly defined and supported by all project members. I think this facet is often overlooked.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@Techy_HopeD #ail601tpack and executing such a project through multiple grades with teacher workgroups supporting one another would go a long way. We do this is business and it works well.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@bwalkpro @Hweihello I don’t believe teachers are skilled in change management in general. With some of this foundational understanding, teachers would be more well equipped to execute a TPACK project. #ail601tpack

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@bwalkpro @Hweihello I believe that in order for a TPACK project to be successful, the school district should treat it like a change management project plan that enables all users access to tools, resources, and the coaching needed. Often times these things are left to chance and fail. #Ail601tpack

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@bbeaversPHD getting users involved early on in the process is key

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@Zesea10 collaboration - i think this stage is critical to the success of any implementation. getting users to discuss ideal imolementation and its benefits is key to success.

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@mkcrockett12 in my work, we are implementing a new technology platform to manage our business and procceses. the tam model is highly applicable because there are no other users involved

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@mkcrockett12 in this model, i dont believe that those who will benefit from the technology are a core concern the ease of use and usefullness seem to apply to the teacher

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@mchargue87 the 5 characteristics of DOI are
1. relative advantage
2. compatability
3. complexity
4. trialability
5. observability

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

@mchargue87 being involved in the initial innovation meetings to identify the benefits of the implementation works best for me

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

Asynchronous Discussion Forum
https://t.co/mgv3LAUpKA another great resource to assist graduate students in effective online discussions. #edtech #elearning #ail601ref #iste

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

A must read for all participating in academic online discussions. Make the most out of your participation and contribution to your cohort’s learning experiennce. The objectives are specific and require learner clarity and understanding. #edtech #elearning #ail601ref #iste

[Lynda Stevens @LMS205PhD]

Guide to Fostering Asynchronous Online Discussion in Higher Ed (https://t.co/h4xIWOjc90) excellent article on how to design, engage in, and assess online discussion groups to support learning outcomes. #edtech #elearning #AIL601ref #iste
