Like all online learning platforms and tools, it works best with instructor presence. If you’re annotating with the students, there will be a richer conversation and you will get to hear from more folks.

Pre-annotation is especially useful. Before posting a link to a piece for annotation, I add my own questions, comments, and reflections. I encourage students to reply to me (and each other) or add their own thoughts.

I just read an article in #HigherEd world that said it's not okay to misspeak in your instructional videos and probably thousands of people read this and I just want to say that's not actually true.
The mistakes are the best part.

One of my least favorite parts of #highered is this hatred of mistakes and being human.
If you restart recording every time you make a mistake you will spend all your waking hours recording videos because you are a human being and we make mistakes. And who does that serve? No one. That time can be put toward your own rest and play or student support.
1) Motivating students to #ReadtheSyllabus is always a challenge. Admittedly, it's not the most engaging part of most courses. There are welcoming and engaging ways to *design* them. Here are some strategies such as creating:

Real quick thread on the value of going scriptless in your instructional videos. This came up in the session I facilitated earlier today.

First off, if you need to use a script. Use a script. What do I know? And, I invite you to reflect on that choice.

Many instructors use a script to avoid making mistakes in their videos. Here's the thing: THE MISTAKES ARE THE BEST PART. The mistakes are where you show your humanity and heart. That's where you teach students how to make mistakes and keep going.

1/ Learning to trust people with firsthand experience sounds pretty straightforward and logical, but time and again we see instances of leaders thinking they know better. Such were my thoughts as a young teacher advocating to the State legislature for my job and for my students.
2/ When I started teaching at Bear Lake high school in 2009, the state of Idaho had just made education budget cuts and were confronting additional cuts over several years to come due to the economic recession.
1/ #UDL is a framework to help us extend learning to all students which addresses learner variability. It's also important to consider that we as humans are feeling machines that think, not the other way around.
2/ We need to design learning environments that support all students, and further we need to understand who our students are, where our students are coming from, and what our students are going through
