A2: Is there truly a culture of doing all that we can to help students succeed? Lip service or visible in daily actions? #edtechafterdark

A2b Do we want schools 2 be silos of Ss who can pump out school grades? Or 1s who have agency 2 follow their own learning? #edtechafterdark

A3Students should have a range of options taught by qualified & passionate instructors alongside some core classes required #EdTechAfterDark

MrCharlesMartin Oct 30 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A3: The curriculum is set. However, lots of flexibility to differentiate and offer choices in how to get there. #edtechafterdark

We can have the same baseline standards to address but content can be scaled to meet Ss needs. #edtechafterdark

Yes ... if we remember everyone is a person with feelings first ... including me 💜 #EdTechAfterDark

Question 6: #EdTechAfterDark

JeremyDBond Oct 30 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5) Yes and yes. Students may also be exposed to inaccurate content in school. Are they forced to accept everything? #EdTechAfterDark

Question 5: #EdTechAfterDark

EastonA1 Oct 30 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A4: Think of perspective as a map: Help Ss explore ways 2 expand horizons & where Ss choose 2 walk thereafter is up 2 them #EdTechAfterDark

A6 Connected to standards - including building a positive learning community - approved curriculum- vetted by leadership #EdTechAfterDark

Question 6: #EdTechAfterDark

_datagirl Oct 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A6. I'll take the obvious, impermissible cause harm in some way. And I've seen a few. Probably used them too. 😔#edtechafterdark

hazlebussey Oct 30 @ 10:47 PM EDT

Yes! And I'm willing to teach them to believe that listening breeds success and will make the world a better place. #EdTechAfterDark

A5: I believe it is. It’s about expanding different views. We can’t live in enclosed cocoons no matter where you stand. #edtechafterdark

coachjohnson51 Oct 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A6 impermissible ones go bad on reviews and get you fired 😳😜 sorry couldn’t resist some snarkiness #EdTechAfterDark

alexstubenbort - Moderator Oct 30 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A6: I’ll refer back to what was previously suggested. Do they do harm? Impermissible. Do they improve life? Permissible #edtechafterdark

JeremyDBond Oct 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A6) Not a practicing teacher, but I'd say those that respect the child's strengths & learning styles v. those that dictate. #EdTechAfterDark

Question 6: #EdTechAfterDark

MsClassNSession Oct 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A6: It is impermissible to limit Ss based on your own experiences (lack of) or limitations. #edtechafterdark

danvkoch - Moderator Oct 30 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Love these questions, @alexstubenbort! Seemingly simple yet labyrinthian and complex. #edtechafterdark

MrCharlesMartin Oct 30 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6: Is it morally acceptable or not? The problem is that not everyone shares the same morals. So, not an easy question. #edtechafterdark

JeremyDBond Oct 30 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Understanding others' views may be more important than changing them. #EdTechAfterDark

And how much more powerful to know how to grapple, listen, and think when confronted than to yell or cower... #edtechafterdark

@alexstubenbort great job tonight. Enjoyed it greatly. Made me think outside of my box #EdTechAfterDark

hazlebussey Oct 30 @ 10:52 PM EDT

All Qs point to Q1. Purpose defines permissible. If no agreement on purpose, no agreement on permissible. Chaos ensues. #EdTechAfterDark

A6: I believe it's distinguishing what's 4 you vs. what's 4 the Ss you serve. If ur 1st thought isn't Ss learning, rethink. #edtechafterdark

JeremyDBond Oct 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

Many of us, parents included, can fall into this trap. So important for adults to have humility. #EdTechAfterDark
