Today's Guest: Dr. Alec Couros - Alec is a Professor of educational technology and media at the Faculty of Education, University of Regina. He has given hundreds of workshops and presentations, nationally and internationally, on topics such as openness in education, networked learning, social media in education, digital citizenship, and critical media literacy.

Which of the following is less torturous? (Would you rather?)

Question #1: How can we help students develop a skeptic's mindset?

Why develop a skeptic's mindset?

Spearphishing Emails

- Marshall McLuhan - "One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with."
- Filter Bubbles
- Confirmation Bias
- Fake News
Ernest Hemingway - "The essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, ******** detector."
Strategies:
- Bringing in real-world examples
- "How to Charge an iPod using electrolytes and an onion" YouTube Video - youtube.com/watch?v=GfPJeDssBOM
- Discussing Believability & Bias
- Lateral Reading - thinking more about the source than the content - moving from page to page to research WHO is saying this and why they might say it
- "Think about the messenger." - Alec
- Zen Moments - "My Favorite Liar" - zenmoments.org/my-favorite-liar
- Having students find the fake sites out of a collection of fake and real ones to develop their strategies for site evaluation
- Discussion of available fake sites & the CRAAP Test on #EduDuctTape S1E08 - directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/8626889
Catfishing schemes - "trust" schemes

Knowbe4.com

Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers by Mike Caulfield - webliteracy.pressbooks.com
Edit any Website bookmarklet - kopywritingkourse.com/edit-any-website-free-tool
Vote on "which website is the fake one?"
- Do a Mentimeter poll to see how effectively students identify the fake site - Mentimeter.com

Question #2 : How can we teach (digital) citizenship in authentic ways?

Having a POSITIVE Digital Footprint

Students as creators
Sharing within the classroom with tools like Flipgrid
Sharing outside of the classroom with tools like digital portfolios

"How can we thin the walls for students over time?"

"How are you doing learning in these spaces?"
Digital Portfolio options that Alec mentioned:
- Seesaw - web.Seesaw.me
- Wordpress - Wordpress.com
- Blogger - Blogger.com
- Google Sites - Sites.Google.com
Supporting students and young adults in developing their own spaces on the web that can craft their own identity
Helping kids assimilate to sharing within walled gardens in school to support them when they have the chance to do it in their lives.
Helping kids understand the "why" of what we share and who we share it with
Context collapse
Stop instilling so much fear of isolated online mistakes - "help students do and share so much positive that it drowns their negative mistakes out"

Which of the following is less torturous? (Would you rather?)

100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

Question 1: How can students create video projects on Chromebooks?

John's 3 questions:

- Document? - Camera App - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/camera/hfhhnacclhffhdffklopdkcgdhifgngh?hl=en
- Demonstrate? - Adobe Spark - Spark.Adobe.com
- Display? - WeVideo - WeVideo.com
- - freemium
  - Paid version is totally different from free version
  - Can use WeVideo projects similarly to docs in Google Classroom
Invest savings from buying Chromebooks into subscriptions like WeVideo
Clap Motion Chrome App - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clapmotion/kbjecgaklokmkijdkgeepcnjmcdoajao
Headliner.app (age 13+)

Screencastify - Screencastify.com

Question 2: How can teachers integrate tech into the classroom without spending hours prepping lessons and learning about new tools?

Teachers: stop trying to be the expert! Let the students do that!

Pick a small set of tools and stick with those

2 Truths & 1 Lie

Bounce by Matthew Syed - amazon.com/Bounce-Myth-Talent-Power-Practice-ebook/dp/B003P2WJ18

Question #1: How can a teacher keep students on task during direct instruction?

Sketchnoting, Doodling

Recommended apps - bit.ly/SylviaApps
iPad
- ProCreate (paid) - Sylvia's Favorite, offers voice-recording while screencasting - ProCreate.art
- Tayasui Sketches School (free) - tayasui.com/sketches - best for younger learners
- Tayasui Sketches (freemium) - tayasui.com/sketches - offers screen recording, but not voice recording, but you can "hack" that by using the built in screen recorder on newer versionf of iOS
touchScreen Chromebook
- JamBoard - jamboard.google.com - free, easy entry point, but limited art tools
- AutoDesk SketchBook - SketchBook.com - get from Google Play store, Chromebook would need Android ability, Google Admin would have to turn on your access to the Google Play store
- Chrome Canvas - canvas.apps.chrome - better art tools that JamBoard, but does not allow zoom in, which is essential
Sylvia's favorite Stylus for use on touchscreen Chromebooks - Stadtler Noris Digital - staedtler.us/en/noris-digital-chromebook
What Sylvia looks for in a sketchnoting app - bit.ly/sylviasketchnoteappcriteria
KeyNote on iOS - apple.com/keynote
Sylvia Duckworth sketchnoting resources - bit.ly/sylviaresources

Sylvia's Question: How can we encourage doodling and sketchnoting in class?

Embrace a "Doodling Culture"

Growing students' "Sketchnoting Vocabulary"
You need to start out with a small repertoire of icons that you can leverage for multiple meetings
Carrie Baughcum - @HeckAwesome
- YouTube Channel - youtube.com/channel/UC9dE2wlRzY0Lu1IdXnzShxg
Board for students to share post-its with icons to share
@RoyanLee - #ADoodleADay - sites.google.com/view/sketchlee/doodleaday
Beth Matusciwitz - @MrsM_NL
#Sketch50 resources - sketch50.org
Ideas - Read a story or listen to a song & have students doodle
