IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:10 PM EST

Q1) "Open" can be interpreted in many ways. How would you describe "open pedagogy?" #openeducationwk #IOLchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:12 PM EST

From what I've read, it seems "open" can be equated to a level of freedom; and with freedom there's an amount of responsibility. #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:12 PM EST

A1) Real world as lab and resource to remix for solutions?? #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:14 PM EST

@descataluna "With great power..." ;) #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:14 PM EST

Yes! Ideas about open pedagogy ... #IOLchat https://t.co/423qFyDPQt

A1) Real world as lab and resource to remix for solutions?? #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:15 PM EST

@descataluna Like the word "freedom" here - so pedagogy could mean freedom on both teaching and learning sides :) #iolchat

Emily_J_Fox Mar 9 @ 12:15 PM EST

A1: I think of open pedagogy as free education resources available for all #IOLchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:15 PM EST

The 4Rs involved lead to a method of teaching that is significant and practical to our communities....yes significant to the world. #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:16 PM EST

@OHMWelker A real-world component could "open" the learning experience to what's beyond the classroom. Like! #iolchat

camischwartz18 Mar 9 @ 12:16 PM EST

Created from many options and access to various resources that give a more well-rounded & meaningful experience to students #iolchat #gvtech

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:17 PM EST

Meaningful, valuable, memorable hopefully #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:17 PM EST

@Emily_J_Fox Absolutely - open resources are in many cases free to access and use without a fee. Good addition! #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:17 PM EST

4Rs: free to reuse, remix, revise, and redistribute #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:19 PM EST

@camischwartz18 love the idea of well-rounded = beyond limits of soley instructor knowledge & Meaningful as "Authentic"/ real world #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:19 PM EST

@camischwartz18 Agree! #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:20 PM EST

@camischwartz18 Great point here about having options and variety - definitely a possibility with open pedagogy! #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:22 PM EST

Q2) How might we (or do you) include an open approach in classes and assignments? #openeducationwk #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:22 PM EST

@IOLblog @descataluna Freedom for teaching = tearing down barriers/ ivory towers; #scary -- sacred cows at risk!! ;) #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:24 PM EST

@OHMWelker @descataluna Scary indeed. Open pedagogy calls for change from the norm. Not welcomed by all. #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:25 PM EST

A2) Change assignments to drive at the local -- PLACE-BASED Ed? Apply content to ID local problem/ solution to address...??? #iolchat

samiranghosh Mar 9 @ 12:26 PM EST

@IOLblog A1. Not limiting the learning resources, adapt to the latest tech and strategies leveraging more creative learning #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:27 PM EST

A2) and or focus on collaboration-shared understanding making? IE 5 most helpful videos on YouTube to illus./xplain concept x? #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:28 PM EST

Open approaches might include free choices of "remixing" the content, maybe? Or variables in a science or inquiry based project #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:28 PM EST

@jshamsy Hello Jennifer! no apologies necessary, great to see you :) #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:28 PM EST

@samiranghosh @IOLblog wonder if limits of *starter* learning rsrcs = good foil starting point? "What gaps do we have?" #iolchat

camischwartz18 Mar 9 @ 12:29 PM EST

A2 Seek out unique learning opportunities, encourage students to do more than find a popular book/website about a topic #iolchat #gvtech

samiranghosh Mar 9 @ 12:29 PM EST

@IOLblog glad to join #iolchat after a long time

jshamsy Mar 9 @ 12:30 PM EST

Agree with @descataluna -- different options/create own ending approach - same objectives - different way to achieve based on pref #iolchat

jshamsy Mar 9 @ 12:33 PM EST

Open pedagogy seems to includes greater willingness to open silos/not be so rigid in how we learn - just that we meet objectives #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:33 PM EST

A lot of helpful tweets here focused on flexible options, choice, creativity. Sounds like a breath of fresh air. :) #iolchat #opened

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:34 PM EST

@camischwartz18 Mind map/ COnstructivist approach of a shared wiki/ hashtag to hook resources onto? Incentivize early responses... #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:35 PM EST

In my history class use a scavenger hunt where students have to find in antique store/ real world artifcat to illustrate an era #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:36 PM EST

A2) "Open"the content or product of the assignments and maybe have connections to students' lives, practical problems #IOLchat

samiranghosh Mar 9 @ 12:36 PM EST

@IOLblog A2. Integrate the content with real-world scenarios, let students do self-evaluation #openeducationwk #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:37 PM EST

@samiranghosh @IOLblog self-eval but around some clear standards/ criteria?? #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:38 PM EST

A2. Students produce the assignments' rubric facilitated by the teacher...could this be? #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:38 PM EST

Yes - connecting! Open virtual and physical classroom walls to extend reach and impact. #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:38 PM EST

@OHMWelker I like this a lot - it could be a useful online assignment, too - get students out into their local communities. #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:39 PM EST

Thoughts? RT @descataluna A2. Students produce the assignments' rubric facilitated by the teacher...could this be? #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:39 PM EST

@descataluna could be rich discussion -- "what WOULD BE ways to show learning objective x"? Bump up engagement/motivation! #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:40 PM EST

A2. Risking to go out, beyond the classroom. Rewards may be tremendous! #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:40 PM EST

@descataluna Student driven discussion topics work, why wouldn't their rubrics? Would be interesting to try out. #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:42 PM EST

A2. Awesome! Critical thinking and the process would be the students already evaluating themselves! #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:42 PM EST

@descataluna or make the classroom BE the "out there"?? #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:42 PM EST

Of course @OHMWelker and digitally, too! #IOLchat

jshamsy Mar 9 @ 12:43 PM EST

@OHMWelker @descataluna I think that would be an interesting convo to have..not sure that Ss have knowledge to build assessment #iolchat

jshamsy Mar 9 @ 12:44 PM EST

@descataluna Do students really have the knowledge or ability to turn off the bias to adequately/accurately assess? #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:44 PM EST

@jshamsy @descataluna this is where the instructor offers value for assessment expertise and or some ground rules? #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:45 PM EST

We're heading into Q3) ... #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:45 PM EST

@jshamsy if we start this process early, objective thinking would be a common practice for them. #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:45 PM EST

@jshamsy @descataluna @OHMWelker We'd still have to set some frame, parameters and expectations for their work, guide the process #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:46 PM EST

@OHMWelker I did say facilitated by teacher. #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:46 PM EST

@OHMWelker Ground rules! Exactly :) #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:46 PM EST

@jshamsy @descataluna so take a "triangulating" approach - Student self-assess; peer assess & instructor assess? #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:47 PM EST

Teachers will always appear to be the s's guiding force - our integrity is at stake- always. #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:47 PM EST

And maybe not for all assessments, but for one, or for one type of assignment? #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:47 PM EST

@OHMWelker we model the objective thinking. Yes triangular approach....good thinking #IOLchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:48 PM EST

Yes. The teacher guides and facilitates in this open pedagogy #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:48 PM EST

Q3) What are the potential risks of adopting an open pedagogy approach? #openeducationwk #iolchat

jshamsy Mar 9 @ 12:48 PM EST

@OHMWelker @descataluna like triangulated approach-task dependent-don't know Ss/peers always have know. to make accurate assess. #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:48 PM EST

@descataluna agreed!! This approach very much realigns that "influence" to a true guide on the side, making sure nobody falls off! #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:50 PM EST

Q3. Addressing learning gaps in a free choice assignment #IOLchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:50 PM EST

A3) - What @jshamsy said! ;D Need for careful, well thought out supports and design by intent healthy norms/ models #iolchat

camischwartz18 Mar 9 @ 12:50 PM EST

It is a new idea, there are many unknowns, and it may be difficult to get started/support among peers &students #iolchat #gvtech

jshamsy Mar 9 @ 12:51 PM EST

@camischwartz18 Think you have to make slow change and integrate old with new...not really new..just new lens #iolchat =)

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:51 PM EST

A3) Ensuring solid baseline of understanding to make open/ free items meaningful/ situated in a context? #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:52 PM EST

@descataluna Interesting! All learners may not reach the objective as a result of their choice of topic or format? #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:53 PM EST

Q3. Risks....how supportive are parents? How supportive is Admin esp if there are costs of materials? Block periods established? #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:53 PM EST

@OHMWelker Agreed. Would take some work on the preparation side. For both students and instructors. Course design issues at play. #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:54 PM EST

@camischwartz18 Be prepared for "She didn't 'teach' [lecture] us the material"/ student resistance to taken more active role #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:54 PM EST

@camischwartz18 Momentum is definitely an issue! #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:55 PM EST

Q3. How supportive are your colleagues where integration of subjects reflect the chosen assignment? #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:55 PM EST

@OHMWelker @camischwartz18 Do you think it would be a smoother integration in higher ed? Or maybe just different challenges. #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:56 PM EST

@descataluna Ah yes! same question ... do you think level of education matters when planning open strategies? K12, HigherEd, etc. #iolchat

Emily_J_Fox Mar 9 @ 12:56 PM EST

A3. Depending on how open pedagogy is approached, the structure could be TOO open and negatively impact learners #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:56 PM EST

@IOLblog @camischwartz18 So much merging/ blurring with Post-secondary/HS and community colleges likely much of same?? #iolchat

OHMWelker Mar 9 @ 12:58 PM EST

@Emily_J_Fox "You guys build the course! I'm going out for margaritas!" ;D #iolchat

descataluna Mar 9 @ 12:58 PM EST

I believe so. Yet, high school Adv classes may just do the same as (or better) than higher Ed. #IOLchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:58 PM EST

@OHMWelker You've got a point there. #iolchat

IOLblog Mar 9 @ 12:58 PM EST

RT @Emily_J_Fox A3. Depending on how open pedagogy is approached, the structure could be TOO open and negatively impact learners #iolchat

@Emily_J_Fox So true - we could go too far to one extreme or the other. Balance needed. :) #iolchat
