I don’t often do threads on twitter but this one seemed to resonate so, to keep it, here it is in blog form. I like the way the threading creates a stanza effect… lots more I could expland on but I’ll it be itself.
Here’s a thread – on life in the distant corners. I sit there often; this is what I observe. Sometimes literally the distant corners of classrooms .. but often these are metaphorical corners, where the strugglers are struggling.. or going unnoticed. Because teaching is hard!
In the corners, engagement is harder:.
>You can’t hear well.. teacher talk and student responses are happening over there… you strain to listen; it takes effort. It’s hard to follow.
>You can’t see. Text on screen, the demo, the picture, the boardwork – small and fuzzy
