Come hear what teachers and their students from around the country are building on Youth Voices https://youthvoices.live and NowComment https://nowcomment.com.
We'll ask two simple questions of the teachers who are building this online community together:
- What's something you are doing with your students on Youth Voices and NowComment?
- How might you imagine inviting other youth from this network to work with your students?
There's never been a better time than now to join this community and connect your students with youth from around the country!
We invite you to join the conversation at TTT https://teachersteachingteachers.org Wednesday evening, October 21st at 9E/8C/7M/6P.
Like last week, I'm still organizing around this description of "networked publics" by danah boyd.
What we are building together is:
the imagined collective that emerges as a result of the intersection of people, technology, and practice.
People: I would love for us all to meet Thano Prokos and Kelly Crescenzo, two teachers from Rosary High School in Aurora, Illinois who just added their students to Youth Voices.
They are planning to come.
In addition, our friends of many years, Sam Reed (Philadelphia) and Janet Ilko (San Diego) just got their students on Youth Voices, and Paul Hankins' (Indiana) students are ready to bloom on the site!
Plus, Caleb Wohlust (Colorado) is looking to see where all of this fits for him.
And we have a colleague from South Korea, Camille Butcher, who has added her students from the Daegu International School as well.
(I don't know if Camille will be able to join us yet.
It will be Thursday morning for her.)
Technology: (Here's one example of several places where we've been tinkering.)
With the help of developers, we've added an RSS feed to the list of public comments on each student's NowComment profile.
We can take this feed and add it to Youth Voices (using a Feed to Post plugin) which then adds each comment to that student's activity feed on their Youth Voices profiles.
I think we can imagine several routes from these activity updates through "bookmarks" to digital portfolios.
Here's one student I set up this way.
Estefani's Profile
Practice: It's not just what you are doing, it's how you do it that is striking!
Kiran Chaudhuri (NYC), Jessica Hernandez-Speer (Bronx), Bryan Jeffreys (SLC), Natalia Navarro (Orange Cove), Anna Maine (Berkeley), Dawn Reed (Michigan), and Chris Sloan (SLC) are taking the lead -- in beautifully refracted ways -- by engaging youth in reading with NowComment and with other online sources and by having them post and comment about their discoveries on Youth Voices.
What's next?
Do we have ideas for forum topics in the Book Club https://youthvoices.live/books yet?
Let's make tonight a celebration of student work!
Please be ready to point to comments, posts, or conversations you have seen on Youth Voices or NowComment.
This is all about conversations about things that matter to youth!

From Paul W. Hankins : I'm stealing APP-rehension. Who would know?
21:21:03
From Harry Brake : you are making it easy for them to see how to do critical thinking/critical response - that is hard to do when a lot of students now feel to try and get in as much as fast as possible, so it ends up being in chunks /bytes as I see students feel something just to rip off 1-2 lines and hurry off
21:23:17
From Harry Brake : wow disability narratives could go so many great places,
