A5: If they can Google the answer, your assignment might have a problem. I have provide choice boards for assignment, flipped my lectures, and I have set schedules. Students have presentation days, and we build projects that are shared and peer edited on set days. #AppleEDUChat – at Manhattan, NY

These numbers are not surprising, sadly😞. No list of apps, no meaningless PD, no how-to, and no platitudes will fix this. We must ensure the status quo is dismantled and the barriers razed for our vulnerable students. Equity is NOT a buzzword!! #edchat #techquity #edequity
NEW: We’re starting to get numbers on remote learning during Covid, and the inequality is staggering: In some high-poverty areas, more than half of children are not able to participate. In some selective schools, “attendance” is near 100%. nytimes.com/2020/04/06/us/co…

Peer editing tip: @googledocs allows you to assign each student a different task, such as checking for spelling and grammar mistakes. Thanks for the lesson, @Ms_Skura! goo.gle/36DkYvo

A3: Content and Instructional Design: Wondering how much drilling of the grammar is actually necessary to move my students towards greater fluency. Do I actually need to spend so much time on discreet grammar points? Does it impede communication at a lower level?

This past week 7th grade Algebra I students learned how to indirectly measure the Grand Canyon by measuring the surface of our road without even crossing it! I wonder if chickens were involved in their calculations? 🐥🧮 The link to this week’s newsletter is in the bio!
