Comments off or comments on, but the goal is to simply listen. Too, Facebook Live events are similar, since my musician friends are playing and they can see the comments when the songs are over, but as audience members, we are simply there as an audience.

But, the wealthier schools give all students tablets or Mac laptops, and they can have individual cars come pick up students and drive them to specialized programs. It's all so very frustrating to see at all levels!

I ask students questions related to this when we sit down to talk about which colleges they are considering, and so very few of even the best students are cross-pollinating ideas and knowledge. What a wonderful shift this would be within curriculum, but I don't think this level of learning is happening...

Their mindset is self-centric and small, as well as fearful and aggressive.

There are so many communities even within our own country that are actively fighting against education and literacy.

I know I never got that question, and it would also help educators understand the ever-evolving potential of digital literacy... Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:25:07 -0400
