Something to understand in online education is just because your platform enables communication, discussion & collaboration doesn’t mean it will occur. Equally, shallow engagement strategies might banish virtual tumbleweeds but won’t necessarily create a platform for learning.

@remikalir Wow! So much to think about...

My life in pictures...no words, no people. I was challenged by @susanvlaws. I challenge @christinesco

@susanvlaws @remikalir Ummmm....is it a challenge to shave my head or just share a photo of my life?? 😂

Dear colleges considering contracts with OPMs, reach out to me and @slamteacher instead. We are happy to work with you or connect you with other #digped experts who can teach you to build internal capacity for online learning. OPMs have no special magic. They just charge a lot.

“The screen between us all—as we work remotely from home, school our children in our living rooms, teach students we used to see in person—does not have to be a barrier that stokes distrust, that invites us to surveil.” ⁦@slamteacher⁩ oeb.global/oeb-insights/a…

Stop. Just stop with the optimistic takes. This shit is hard and exacerbates inequality. Almost everything you mentioned requires privilege and even people who have it are struggling.

@THiNGkeriNG YES! My father-in-law has used one for the past 3 decades. Look who's laughing now! 😂

I love my faculty! ❤️♥️❤️education.ucdenver.edu/academics/grad… #humansfirst #empatheticpedagogy @remikalir @jonidunlap @slamteacher @CUDenverEd

This is so right...

If a teacher with no experience working fully online has been asked to shift all their teaching online, dumping a 40+ item rubric in their lap really isn’t going to help. And it will likely do harm.

Fighting the Good Fight…Against Neuromyths A recent article took a look at an intervention attempting to curtail the proliferation of neuromyths among teachers. theeffortfuleducator.com/2019/09/16/fig…

@jlewis001 I think you're spot on, Jerry!

@terrell_alexis Advice can be pro-active, given in advance, whereas the others imply a reaction. Constructive criticism to me would be a subset of feedback. Feedback is more general and could be constructive or not, and isn't necessarily criticism. These are just my thoughts about it.

What's the difference between feedback, advice, and constructive criticism? 🤔 #INTE7110

Super interesting results about giving effective #feedback. #INTE7110
