As educators we have to make sure we stay woke and wake our students up so they aren’t unknowing participants of a messed up system... better that they know #schmiteracies

I imagine giving our students the critical thinking lens to ask questions about what they are using and who makes the decisions for that programming. Exposing them to a variety. You never know what will make them geek out. #schmiteracies

A5: anyone who is uniquely abled in their content area would be seen as inadequate. Kill the creativity. #schmiteracies

A4: Then we could have alternatives that aren’t pushed in to the darkness. #schmiteracies

A3: good is subjective so no. #schmiteracies

[Kyla Persons @PersonsKyla]

A2: I think we see the students we assume are the best in the class and assume the things they do constitute being good at the content area. Of course that comes down to precision, speed, and availability of memorized facts. #schmiteracies

[Kyla Persons @PersonsKyla]
