While the bandaid solution fixes the issue for a time, it is important we explore more permanent options to allow for longer term success.

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 22:41:09 -0500 Pathways https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2219571 https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2219571 • I think an important point is made here that I can relate to through my own work on my Genius Hour project. At first I thought there would be a pathway that I followed to the completion of my project, however I found that as I explored the area of interest I discovered tools and tricks that I would not have found if I continued along the pathway I had mentally created. I think this exploration is an important part of these networks and it is more successful when voluntary. I think this will be a major obstacle when trying to blend connected learning with formal education. Mon, 30 Nov 2020 22:35:45 -0500 Certain online affinity networks https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2219532 https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2219532 While this text provides excellent resources on case studies that promote the positive aspects/outcomes of online affinity networks, it is known that some toxic groups exist (and most likely always will). When encouraging our students to explore these groups, I wonder if there is a way to help guide them towards groups that will help nurture their interest/development and provide support. Mon, 30 Nov 2020 22:25:47 -0500 Links between home and school https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2219510 https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2219510 I think it is important to create links between "recreational in-home gameplay and school achievement." While I am unsure exactly what this looks like, it seems crucial to be able to link students' interests with school related activities. It is shown that when this occurs students tend to be more engaged and motivated in their work. I wonder what are some ways that we can support the develop of these links while also educating on the items that need to be taught.

I have spent some time on Youtube the past few days searching for content for my Genius Hour project and realized exactly what you are describing above. Even with some of the advertisements that appeared, I would want to make sure the content is appropriate. I agree wholeheartedly that it is cool to see such passion exhibited by students. Mon, 30 Nov 2020 22:15:23 -0500 I enjoyed the rhyme scheme and how it helped create a rhythm to tell a story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202045 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202045 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500 Is the author one of the girls who asked for love in Union Square? https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202044 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202044 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500 Is it actually a long walk home or does it feel longer because of the topic being discussed? https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202043 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202043 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500 Are they walking by ladies of the night? Or is the man so handsome that the ladies stare as they pass by? https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202042 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202042 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500 Appears the man is whispering and the author has left things unsaid. https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202041 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202041 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500 Almost as if walking home after a night out/date night. Perhaps a late night or the couple is breaking up? https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202040 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500 This is not the image I pictured when first reading the poem. While I imagined lots of people in the square, the reference to "fiery lights" gave the impression it was night time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202039 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135537?scroll_to=2202039 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:35:41 -0500
