No More Dead Dogs

This makes me think of next week's fanfic unit. Some people truly consume media versus passively watching.

This breakdown is literally no different than writing (literacy) you figure out which strategy or style to write, analyze the prompt, plan and write (design), editing (modifying), rewriting (playtesting again) -- I don't know why it's taken me so long to see how gaming and "traditional" literacy are practically identical.

I appreciate that the current narrative is how to make these systems more accessible and accountable in terms of equality

I am wondering what teaching with a weak emphasis looks like for various levels of ELLs.

While one can argue, mass-institutionalized schooling has helped progress the world rapidly, I wonder how it has stunted the world as well. Primarily in terms of integrating and respecting elders with our learning. We are so eager to push seniors out of the learning experience when before mass-institutionalized schooling, they were our teachers showing us the way of our past.

I appreciate this because not only is it keeping themselves accountable but it is also keeping learning relevant. In education there are too many instances where it's the old way only with no reason as to why we still teach that / ability to change it to something new without great backlash. By starting with the basis of keeping things relevant, it helps build further movement.

During my undergrad we learned about various digital tools and apps but it was hard to integrate it in the classroom as my district at the time was extremely underfunded. Now I teach in an area where that is not an issue so I am excited to see how this experience goes!
