A poem inspired by @amyburvall on the benefits of constraints and creativity: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/01/13/constraints-oncreativityseen-throughamyburvalls... #satchat
Constraints = creativity. I see it all the time when teaching websites, tyranny of the blank page versus too many darn WordPress themes. Provide fun guardrails on choice, democracy by design in you will. #satchat
A website second best tool (after paper) for tracking the learnign that happens through choice...well learning happens through reflection on activity, and motivation for the activity increases through choice. track it all on my url #satchat
How a scaffold a project in a graduate #literacies classroom. Focus more on assessing the process of the project with multiple cogntive checking and your project becomes easier to manage and students build life long learning. #satchat
A4 Paper. It is cool AF #satchat
I manage projects of choice by first providing scaffolds and check in points look at example video, teach students to learn edu106.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/hey-edu10… and then I model by doing what students must do: edu106.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/ukele-les… #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1LWJne)
Please let us stop conflating grading with feedback. We know the act of measurement changes the motivation to learn but we don't need to worsen the situation by conflating arbitrary numbers with information used to improve performance #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/19iztS)

Are we teaching objectives or subjectives? Is one a better framework for learning? #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1Forf9)
Also building in free choice in those spaces between school and community. Check out the elmcitywebmakers.com here is our last event: events.indieweb.org/2020/03/elm-ci… Giving a kid a website gives them choice over their story #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/OgNND)
Confession: not a fan of total free choice in reading materials. I love me some text sets, genre studies and...gasp....whole class novels. #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1moOp6)
Let's also stop framing choice as an outcome of one, I want my students to make progress while contributing to the shared culture we as a class all choose to craft. #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1OXyQX)
Just because people in college and the real world get learning wrong doesn't mean we have to as well. I feel no obligation to prepare students for someone else's bad design choices. #satchat (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1zVCT4)
