I think it is important to recognize those biases and make them known to students. If students could critique that bias for themselves, that would probably the most effective way for them to grasp the reality of the algorithms #schmiteracies
I would be happy if my students could feel comfortable engaging, creating and also critiquing in an online space. That would be a success. #schmiteracies
A2: I think tech can be very effective in the classroom if it is used productively and normed in. When is appropriate, when is it not? Things to consider with staff and also with students. Itโs also important that students can all access tech. #schmiteracies
A1: In order to be able to provide tech for your students, you first need equal access to tech for all students and then you need an understanding of the tech you will use. Like we did in class today it can be beneficial to think of positives and negatives to apps #schmiteracies
@anterobot A3: Iโve been enjoying diving into info provided by @NSTA and @OfficialNGSS. They are working to revamp science education and remind everyone that science is not just fact memorization or worksheets. Science students should be observing, analyzing, designing... #schmiteracies
@anterobot A2: Also, in Biology it is important to reference how science practices were used to create and maintain racist ideals for many years. We need to acknowledge that science has been used for good and bad, and show students how to recognize fake/bad science. #schmiteracies
@anterobot A2: In science we can engage with the different identities of our students by providing literature and evidence to show science has come from a diverse background (not just old white men). Rosalind Franklin, Mae Jemison, Sabrina Pasterski and many more. #schmiteracies#literasci
@anterobot A1: Literacies are the way people interact with, engage and interpret the world around them. In science, we rely on observing the world around us, so students need to learn to use their personal literacies to make sense of what they see #schmiteracies#literasci
On a classroom level I think it will take being conscious of our students and the literacies they bring with them. On a school/s level.... #schmiteracies
A3: I think it is important for teachers to help to facilitate students in defining what good means in their classroom given their class community #schmiteracies
