@WRT_PDSB Watched the documentary video "Cracking the Codes: The System of Racial Inequity" this weekend with the tragic events in New Zealand fresh on my mind. Time to start a deeper conversation on the systems that perpetuate racism in society & schools!

Picture = 1000 words? This one expresses joy and unity as hockey fans cheered on team Canada at the Olympics...but does it say anything else about us as Canadians to the world? Does it accurately represent you as a Canadian citizen? https://t.co/4qd43s6GHY #EDUCpopculture2018
Pop culture should come with a warning label...proceed with caution! Pop culture for pop culture`s sake will not meet the learning needs of students where they are at. Educators who use it thoughtfully, designing instruction that is purposeful and context-specific, might.

With a little creativity, pop culture can be incorporated into the classroom to meet curriculum goals, connect learning to life, and increase student agency and engagement...now trending: geocaching with Pokémon Go in Phys. Ed. https://t.co/webbao8sEV

Does the Fortnite craze leave youth in a daze, as reality and fantasy merge in a haze, promoting aggression rather than mending one’s ways, as some research on violent video games says? Read articles at: https://t.co/tkbogyBR03

2 thumbs up to Hidden Figures and Black Panther for challenging racial and gender stereotypes! Let's move beyond one-dimensional depictions and one-month celebrations to embrace diversity daily and encourage full participation in school, STEM, and society!

When 89% of teens own a smartphone and check it multiple times a day, and increasing numbers report that being on social media interferes with relationships, school work, and sleep, is it time to unplug and extend the device free dinner concept to a whole day? #EDUCpopculture2018
@ZillionthSarah Sadly, my two-and-a-half-year old son discovered these and now prefers them over content that at least attempts to teach numbers, colours, the alphabet, etc. !

A1. Love this HA quote: "As soon as we put a number on student work, learning stops." Students tend to bypass the feedback comments provided about their work and zone in on the mark - I know I did - so going gradeless would have helped me most as a learner.
We must teach students to be critical consumers of pop culture and media so that they will be equipped to challenge distorted and stereotypical representations of people rather than reinforcing and perpetuating them. Watch Silent Beats on YouTube

@SusanCampo Students who have experienced feedback in the arts - music, drama, etc - for example, will relate to this shift in assessment...from grades to performances, portfolios, etc

With so many options available to them in terms of subcultures, lifestyles, etc, is it surprising that some youth choose to escape reality and find their sense of belonging and identity in fantasy? Check out Deep Diversity by S. Choudry. #EDUCpopculture2018

The interaction of risk and protective factors in students’ lives are
complex…as educators we need to focus on developing the strengths we see in students rather than on their deficits or the things we think are lacking. Check out https://t.co/T3lQsX9g6r

What going on beneath the surface of the adolescents' behaviour and choices may reflect the enormous changes that their brains and cognitive capacities are undergoing in the teenage years. Reflected tree on a foggy day or neuronal tree? #EDUC5199popculture
