Educon Session 1: The Closer Citizen-Linking Close Reading to a Careful Analysis Of Media and Our Lives

By
One of the goals of our eLearning2 professional development is to help staff develop skills to assist students in reading digital content more deeply. 
This session at Educon 2.5 titled:  The Closer Citizen-Linking Close Reading to a Careful Analysis Of Media and Our Lives by Chris Lehman and Kate Roberts from The Teacher's College at Columbia University contains ideas not just on text, but on media as well. Worth a look!


Their video examples didn't show up as well on the tape, so I have included them below:

When doing close reading regardless of medium, we need to look at purpose-what evidence should we pull out first, then develop ideas based on that.
At the end, they invited participants to think about the feedback cycle :
What content was being used during their presentation?
What methods did they use?
What manner did they use. You can add your own thoughts here.

Redefining Awesome...Connected Learning

By Anonymous
Last September, Will Richardson challenged our faculty to " Redefine Awesome " in what learning looked like in our district. The last few weeks, have seen some great connected learning opportunities happening at Valley View Middle School that get at what Will was talking about.  Project Lead the Way Tim Berendt, a teacher in our Project Lead the Way program, began using Twitter this year as a way for his students to share the work they are doing with the outside world, and also as a tool for formative assessment.  Students tweet out what they hope to accomplish at the beginning of the class period, and then tweet what they completed at the end. In many cases, students have received feedback and encouragement from people outside the district, such as this exchange from Autodesk, the company that makes the software the students use!  Berndt did a great job at the start reminding students to follow our Web 2.0 Code of Ethics , and how they could use hashtags to label ...
