Tell that to Chris Avenir

Tell that to Chris AvenirRyerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.

1.Learning should be hard.

2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.

3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.

i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.

a time and place and audience?

When is learning richer when it’ shared?

When might it be best kept closed?

Sharing my work online has become a huge part of the way I learn. Those connections make it possible for me to gain a bigger audience, which means, more feedback and more learning. A lot more people are finding me now.

Rather than write my goal in a book, I decided to create my own t-shirt. I have worn my t-shirt at CDNIS during staff meetings and grade level assemblies. The response from staff and students has been somewhat overwhelming as many are keen to get a ‘daily’ update

Be Visual

When you hand someone a photo album or a yearbook, the first thing they will do is seek out their own picture.

Knowing that, the question is: how often are you featuring the photo, name, needs or wants of your customers where everyone can see them?

The Big Hairy Questions

What do we do with Curriculum?

With the sum of human

knowledge in their pockets why come to school?

How will assessment need
