It's nearing the end of the semester and it's time for some 🗣 shout outs 🗣 for those who have supported us along the way!

Calling all #tch410 posters! I’m thinking we should hold some Studio Hours where we can connect, talk #tch410 challenges & share teaching challenges we’re facing right now. As Studio Hours, you can work on your challenges & teaching work while we chat informally. It would be optional, but a chance to touch base and get support. So, the questions are: Are you interested? When would be good for you?

In #tch410, we are #HOMAGO-ing: Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out. These are three different ways of engaging with something new to learn that ethnographers Mimi Ito and her colleagues found in their research working with many youth over years to find out how young people learned across online spaces.

My last two #tch410 posts and #tch410challenge2 have me thinking about a story I told about TV for a podcast project I was working on with another class that’s still open to everyone!

The long-awaited answer in my #tch410challenge1 gameshow! Drum roll....We had #tch410 guesses of radio and computers...but nope...television! So *dangerous* it inspired this quote! In fact, something similar was said about dime store novels back in the 1920s too--a "technology" that was going to destroy the moral fiber of youth. And yes, each advance has shifted and reshaped our social landscape for good and bad. It interesting to think about our history of adaptation as as well. We're a resilient bunch, we humans.

Can you guess when this quote was said & what technology this quote is about?!?

The academic year has begun! I’ll be posting from #tch410 which is a graduate course on emerging technologies in education. The course is organized by a series of challenges. I’ll post a bit about each one as we move through them if you want to follow along...and feel free to post your own responses to each challenge with the hashtags #tch410 and then #tch410challenge# (the last # will change with the challenge number).

It’s not too late to join this cool study! With the sustained impact of COVID-19 on schooling, Dr. Cassie Brownell is continuing a study she launched last fall to center the voices of educators through once-a-week audio postcards of 3-5 minutes each over the 1st 6 weeks.
