@CenterOnlineEd Hello Jennifer from Atlanta here today..the start of a new semester...=) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:02 PM EDT

@jshamsy Hello Jennifer! Too bad we don't have some fall weather for "back to school." ;) #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:03 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I'll take a few more weeks of summer as I had to skip summer this year...but I do enjoy fall =) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:04 PM EDT

@jshamsy Good point. Still some time to get outside. :) Labor Day is coming on fast! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:05 PM EDT

How have you been...have you started up your new classes yet? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:05 PM EDT

Starting now! #IOLchat - Come share your favorite sources for education policy and election-related updates. #OnlineEducation

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:06 PM EDT

@jshamsy Yep, new class started on Monday. Have until the end of today to post final grades for the one that ended Friday ... #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:08 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Never much time in between..jumping from one to the next #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:09 PM EDT

@jshamsy Agreed ... always feels a little rushed from my side. Am sure the students have a similar experience jumping right in. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:09 PM EDT

Let's get this week's topic rolling! Q1 coming up... #iolchat

StapelMathClass Aug 24 @ 12:10 PM EDT

just stumbled upon #IOLchat. Chris here. K-12 math and university sociology.

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:10 PM EDT

@StapelMathClass Hi, Chris, and welcome! Great to have you here. :) #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:10 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd That is the downside of #highered .... a constant schedule with little flexibility #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Paul at Shaw U. with #IOLchat today. Hello.

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@ceasom ☎️☎️☎️ ring ring ring...... #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Hi, Paul! Welcome back. :) #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@StapelMathClass Hi Chris! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd Hi Paul..Happy Wednesday! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:13 PM EDT

Q1) What are your favorite resources for updates about education policy and candidate platforms? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:14 PM EDT

I would say social media (FB and Twitter)...i turned off mainstream media several years ago... #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @ceasom all about the rapid task switching =) #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A1 For public Ed policy I await a state report at NC-ACTE. VPs tell me candidate info. for the inst. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@jshamsy I like the sound of that approach. I'm trying to monitor several mainstream sources, but so frustrating. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@jshamsy Are there particular FB or Twitter accounts you follow? #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:16 PM EDT

Wisdom speaking. #IOLchat https://t.co/jFYtJW7tID

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:14 PM EDT

I would say social media (FB and Twitter)...i turned off mainstream media several years ago... #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:16 PM EDT

There is a trust aspect to this..most of it is opinion or perception..and so it is who do you trust more? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Sounds like a couple of helpful filters there. I think it's a must to find this kind of thing - so much to take in. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd The candidate themselves or journals/blogs/online mags that I trust.For ed policy - I am more interested in impact #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy Arnie Duncan was a good source on Twitter previously for Dept. of Ed. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:17 PM EDT

RT @jshamsy There is a trust aspect to this..most of it is opinion or perception..and so it is who do you trust more? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd Will have to check it out! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @jshamsy Agreed! That was a good stream and seemed really timely, not all promotion either. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:19 PM EDT

And...a little anti-authority...give me the facts and I will decide what I want to think..don't tell me what to think =) #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd Suppose you could find State equivalent of #DPI for news #IOLchat

StapelMathClass Aug 24 @ 12:19 PM EDT

#iolchat A1) Ed policy: @EducationNext and for politics: @splcenter

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@jshamsy That's the challenge - finding sources that report, but don't interpret necessarily. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:20 PM EDT

RT @StapelMathClass #iolchat A1) Ed policy: @EducationNext and for politics: @splcenter

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul No longer on twitter? I couldn't find to follow... #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@StapelMathClass Great suggestions! Didn't realize SPLC was so active on Twitter. #iolchat

StapelMathClass Aug 24 @ 12:21 PM EDT

#iolchat politics: @washingtonpost factchecker

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Maybe not since he stepped down from that position. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:23 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd Yes. Need to track current Sec. of Ed. and decide if it's informative. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:25 PM EDT

Q2) Are there any education topics you think should be getting more attention? From candidates or media? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:27 PM EDT

Common core seems to be a big issue...I think this is an area where you have to make systemic and systematic baby steps #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A2 State status on #CommonCore Also progress on implementing #UDL standards. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Thanks for the reminder - the election is not just national. State issues and legislatures will be changing, too. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd I am all for the UDL concept -- even though not very familiar with the movement #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Will be interesting to see how/if guidelines become more stringent requirements. It's been a slow battle #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A2 again #Firstintheworld grant was developed to address low standing of Ss in Int. rankings #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Interesting hashtag! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:36 PM EDT

@philosophypaul I like this as a sort of general measure, and it could certainly be affected by policy. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:37 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul not sure all the guidelines are really attacking problem though..kind of seem like a bandaid to me..#iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:39 PM EDT

Dare I say it? Bureaucracy may be "stuck on bandaids." Ouch. #IOLchat https://t.co/oYDp7BfIwy

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:37 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul not sure all the guidelines are really attacking problem though..kind of seem like a bandaid to me..#iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Being directed to do it vs. doing it as part of your regular process (UDL) could yield different results. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:40 PM EDT

Q3) Do you have any advice for college students? Which topics should they be following more closely before the election? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul guess wonder what exactly are we trying to accomplish because the approach would be different #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:42 PM EDT

A3) cost of education, education delivery, barriers that might be in the way of meeting your goals #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:42 PM EDT

Yes, a directive could make UDL an end, whereas it is a wider means for access and broad based learning. #IOLchat https://t.co/xYmEMskDod

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Being directed to do it vs. doing it as part of your regular process (UDL) could yield different results. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:43 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul are we trying to accomplish learning, test scores, degree completion rate, etc. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A3 For college Ss S-loan status and forgiveness, tuition regulation, and Int. trade for economy #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Great question! And I guess it depends on who you ask. :/ Voters need to help drive this. #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:45 PM EDT

We are data driven for gvnt. stats. Yes. Tasked with reminding faculty of this this week. #IOLchat https://t.co/8gdsz4eYWi

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:43 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul are we trying to accomplish learning, test scores, degree completion rate, etc. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Then we should press on with guidelines and metrics...but that doesn't necessary equal learning #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:47 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy Reply. Yes. Voters should. Wonder if they are removed from the issues of Higher Ed though #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:48 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @jshamsy Exactly - voters without a current interest or investment in higher ed may not find the issues relevant #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:48 PM EDT

We need to inquire: Does "acomplished" on the rubric = learning? #IOLchat https://t.co/z2uQVeTeYV

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Then we should press on with guidelines and metrics...but that doesn't necessary equal learning #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:50 PM EDT

"Does 'accomplished' on the rubric = learning?" - @philosophypaul #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:50 PM EDT

@philosophypaul I like this as a future #IOLchat topic...

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:51 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul nope! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 24 @ 12:52 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @philosophypaul This is an incredibly complex issue..gets blood pressure rising! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:54 PM EDT

@jshamsy @philosophypaul Absolutely! A lot of other conversations come back to this - how do we determine learning has taken place #iolchat

philosophypaul Aug 24 @ 12:56 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy There is a danger in singular, reductionistic models of learning. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:57 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @jshamsy Yes, and in categorizing "the learner" in a singular way as well, IMO. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 24 @ 12:59 PM EDT

Coming up on the end of the chat hour … Thanks to @jshamsy @StapelMathClass and @PhilosophyPaul for today's convo! #iolchat
