gm! 🧵time friends! Been a few weeks since the last thread but I wanted to start building on the notion of the importance of mental models. Folks from both #edu and #web3 are exploring the use of blockchain tech, but each has a unique focus. Grab a ☕️ let’s dive in 👇
2) Back in April I wrote about mental models and how they influence the way we perceive the 🗺 and construct how we understand things. In this context, our lived experience in part dictates how we perceive importance of and use case for #web3 technologies.
3) This thread will look at on how organizations rooted in #education and #web3 approach use cases for #blockchain tech. The TLDR is they differ significantly and my opinion is this is a reflection of the mental models influencing how we forecast the impact of this tech.
I’m super curious how #Web3 may transform teaching and learning. One challenge in this endeavor is that many of us shared very similar formal education experiences. We share similar mental models, so I order to make the most of web3 tech we must shift our mental models a 🧵
2/Mental models are essential components of our daily lives. They not only shape what we think and how we understand things, but they shape how we connect things we already know together. Think filing cabinet: it’s way to organize lots of info . fs.blog/mental-models/
3/ A simple experiment, when I say “school” what comes to mind 👇
Looking at the Winter/Spring plans from various #edu institutions, I'm increasingly aware of the (often bad) assumptions being made about face-to-face and online teaching and learning. We need to start from a place of care -- for students and teachers, otherwise there's no point.
"Make sure to teach your courses at your scheduled times. We expect courses to be synchronous unless previously scheduled otherwise."
My online courses offer opportunities for synchronous engagement but don't require it. Asynchronous has distinct benefits, especially right now.

Even if you're trying to closely replicate the work of face-to-face on-ground courses, synchronous online isn't the thing. Asynchronous with optional opportunities for synchronous engagement does a better job of "simulating" what we do in regularly scheduled face-to-face courses.

#Thread on K-12 funding in the Covid relief bill, which also prevents a government shutdown by funding the federal government. $900 Billion. 5,000+ pages, nobody read, except whatever each congressm@n contributed, for sure. via edsource.org/2020/congress-…
$82B for education, $54B in particular for #K12. Quadrupling what was set aside on the first round of the #CARESAct
CA expected to receive about 10% of the monies (CA is Pelosi's and VP elect Harris' turf). Makes FASFA easier to fill- IDK, it was never that hard... The entire bill voted by 92-6 in the Senate. That is a majority, not to exaggerate, if you know how Congress has operated recently
1/Thread: Let’s play a game #bced!
The MofE has stated that they are following the Denmark school model.
Game: Truth or Lie
I will place some quotes, from articles, about the Denmark #Edu model and you will guess whether you think this is actually happening in BC.

25/30 I responded to the tweet/thread negatively and included a link to a Kahn Academy lesson about the topic, not bc anyone in the thread needed the lesson, but bc Twitter is performative & public and the average reader should see that this is *not* an absurd or off-base Q.
26/30 Anyway, @jennthetutor, since you threatened me about DMing you, which I'd never have done anyway bc nothing personal/private is going on here, I’ll reply publicly: my response wasn’t intended to be directed at you. I see your name was first in the list. Sorry about that.
27/30 Context clues would still show that my @ was directed @akilbello. He’s the one who posted the Q. I figured he would have picked up on that and that you/Jon would want to see because we’re all pro's having convos on Twitter re teaching and students, who we all stump for.
1/30 One of the major points of confusion about the #SAT and the #ACT specifically is what exactly is on the test. It’s always worth discussing the content of assessments, especially assessments that are so high-stakes.
2/30 When I started teaching shortly after college, I got into it as a part time job. I was a subject tutor, designing curricula and teaching math. I had always been comfortable with standardized tests, so it seemed (at the time) like that, too, would be straightforward work.
3/30 I’d never “prepped” for the tests myself when I was in HS, so I didn’t perceive/approach them as arenas that required strategy. It struck me that they were simply testing what I’d learned in school and my understanding of language and mathematical reasoning. #edutwitter
Today - Special @tdsb Committee of the Whole at 4:30 - staff will present further revised models for #ReturntoSchool and a number of motions to come before the Board - Agenda here tdsb.on.ca/Leadership/Boa… Please join us here tdsb.on.ca/Leadership/Boa… I will be live tweeting...
In advance, sincere thank you to @TDSBDirector and senior staff... prioritizing health and safety to follow @TOPublicHealth guidelines without the necessary provincial funding makes this an impossible task... #onted

Some working #edu thoughts:
'Schooling' in academic writing land is different from learning & education. Schooling works at many levels but especially through techniques of body management with the goal of internalizing this as self-control - the goal: maximal available attention

for learning. Doesn't mean learning will happen but tries to create an environment and amenable 'bodies' in the jargon, for this to happen. Some #TLAC techniques fall into this. The line between power as domination and power as empowering of students is a fine one. For some the
use of the techniques is problematic. Others are concerned with the ends to which the techniques are put. Others stress the context and culture that shift how the techniques are experienced (as dehumanising or vitalising). But 'schooling' has been often been critiqued as a means
Currently upset by today’s piece about a professor who makes his students turn in cell phones at the beginning of class. (I am not going to link to the piece, because I have no interest in sending a dumpster fire of clicks at the irresponsible #edu publication.)
The basic thesis of the piece (not actually a direct quote):
“Others may have good reasons for treating students like human beings. I just decided not to.” The piece is so paternalistic and cruel that I wouldn’t have been surprised to read these exact words.
“Others may have good reasons for treating students like human beings. I just decided not to.” The piece is so paternalistic and cruel that I wouldn’t have been surprised to read these exact words.
To summarize his method (and this is a direct quote), “What I have is a poster board at the front of the classroom with their names on it. The students leave their phones in the spot with their name when they come in; thus, I can quickly check attendance using the board.”
My favorite “learning outcomes” apply as well to teacher(s) as they do students.
Together, we will:
1) have epiphanies
2) change our mind about stuff
3) sit comfortably (and uncomfortably) in our not knowing
4) share stuff we learn with folks outside the course

None of these presume students are receptacles to be filled. None presume teachers can (or do) know what students don’t know (especially before they’ve met them). None can be measured in quantifiable ways. You can’t neatly rank students against one another by these metrics.
I’ve been thinking more and more about @slamteacher’s excellent thread about learning outcomes, especially what he writes about the presumptions that come along with so much of #edu’s talk (and implementation) of outcomes.
With the fall semester approaching for many of our users, we want to highlight a few of the ways that @humcommons can help make planning and managing courses easier. So, without further ado:

Since we posted about this yesterday, it makes sense to start w/the CORE Repository’s syllabus collection. There are 200+ syllabi for you to peruse & download. Make sure to check the @creativecommons license attached to know how/if you can use it. hcommons.org/deposits/?face… (2/?)
@creativecommons Even if you don’t find a syllabus that fits your particular course, you can always draw inspiration from the other syllabi… who knows? You may find assessment ideas or student guidelines that work for your course! (3/?)
Here’s the thing about the faculty/staff divide at many #edu institutions. Or the tenure-track/adjunct faculty divide. Or the admin/faculty divide. Students are the ones most harmed by the hierarchical problems created further up the chain.
Much of the focus of my career has been on developing, championing, and advocating for the work of teachers in higher education. This work starts from my concern for (and marveling at) the work of students. And the potential for learning communities of teachers and students.
The labor crisis at most #highered institutions frustrates this discussion. With 70% of the work force adjunct or otherwise contingent, institutions are scrambling.
Calling all teachers!!! What are your biggest challenges teaching Indigenous content in your classes? What would make it easier? Comment or email us: unreserved@cbc.ca
Also, we are happy to hear amazing success stories!
Keep the ideas coming #teachers we want to hear some best practices or breakthroughs you’ve made! #education
Great to see the biggest % increase in non-compulsory #GCSE subject entires this yr was in Biology, Chemistry & Physics (as part of double award)

However, looking ahead to uni, only “46% of [STEM] graduates pursued careers in science, with the rest preferring management, banking or teaching” - says research by Leicester & Warwick unis, quoted in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/boom-i…

Which are great careers - esp teaching - but @Telegraph reports @NAOorguk as saying “there are particular shortages of STEM skills at technician level, but an oversupply in other areas, such as biological science graduates,” telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
