There's no back to normal. So now we need to think of where we are in a post-trauma world. Powerful keynote from @yonty to close out the Summer Institue in Digital Literacy. #digiuri
What are your needs? The back-to-school ads are here, but am I ready to return to the classroom? @yonty asks leaders in the field of digital literacy at #digiURI to put their oxygen masks on first.
What is your personal best leadership experience (PeBbLE)? When leaders listen to me and when I listen to others we are all at our bests. As a leader of linguistically diverse students, I remember that others may ask me to listen in different languages and modalities. #digiURI
“Who are we [teachers] to say that students can’t?” “They just got here this month; they can’t read that.” How can we amplify the content so that it reaches each student? Food for thought from Susan Patterson at #SIOPNC22#SIOPmodel#fallrivermll
People ask me: “How do you build relationships with your students?”
A: Go out of your way to treat them like celebrities. Show them that you esteem them greatly, and that it’s a privilege to be in their presence. #RelationshipsMatter
"I can't show you I can shoot like @StephenCurry30 if I don't have a hoop." -@TeachMrReed explains how everybody deserves what they need to shine. #digiURI
@reneehobbs asks how learners can find critical distance from their influencers? I struggled with this myself while analyzing my dog training guru @zakgeorge. How could I criticize this face?! https://t.co/6ojGzBokLK #digiURI
@reneehobbs asks us to critically analyze social media influencers and media authors like @rustyrockets. How do popup and embedded ads affect the overall value and purpose of the author? #digiURI
Where is the humanity in digital literacy? @jcoiro I love how this gradient vocabulary tool gives all learners words to share with their monolingual support staff. #digiURI So, how is everyone feeling today?
We could prevent so many students from being sent to the principal's office, suspended, or referred to special education if educators and administrators paused for a minute and examined their bias before acting.
Students in @MikeRobbGrieco's Pod Squad used memes to share their text-to-text connections! These connections and expressive texts model how higher-order thinking is often evidenced in "micro-writing" long before the 5 paragraph essay is due. #digiURI@KristinZiemke
@MikeRobbGrieco reads aloud "What Do You Do With an Idea?" inspiring leaders to build a new home for their idea where it can be safe to dream. #digiURI
@MikeRobbGrieco kicks off "Sparking Creative Joy Through Digital Remix" with this tune. How can a remixed song about surviving genocide spark joy? Listen and you'll understand. #digiURI https://t.co/AYH3Y6Utd8
Wow! The CEOs of the largest companies and nonprofits in the United States have joined forces to make computer science a basic part of the K-12 curriculum. See who’s on board: https://t.co/GseoTLBZ1G
