A Socrative Quiz for a Broadbox Collective Event

Welcome to the Broadbox Collective! As you may know Broadbox is a community of educational innovators who teach collegiate freshman and are trying to bob along in the current of life as a regular experience of change. We want to give you tools to bring versions of yourself to your educational environments that foster creativity, resourcefulness, courage, and practices in melding intuition with practicality.

To do that we first have to acknowledge that there are things that are out of our control as educators. The resources we have access to, the innovative spirit of our administrations, the emotional and experiential matter our students carry already in their heads.

Acknowledgment is a practice. Broadbox is named because sometimes education in the situations we are in is not something we have the support, capacity, or resources to think outside of. So we want to create a community that, rather than focusing on individual escape, is able to come together and find ways to work expansively within. 

To warm us up today we have put together an Entrance Ticket. This Entrance Ticket to our session today is meant to illustrate the theme of this years focus. Perception and Purpose. The resources at our fingertips and the fingertips of our Freshman students are vast and overwhelming. The idea of personal connection to students is often cited as a valuable way to engage them in subject matter. Understanding how a student perceives your course can be a valuable tool in how you find a connection to them.

This Entrance Ticket will explore your perception of a question, how perception can be represented or elicited, and tie perception of purpose. The idea is these questions will move you through an experiential learning process that is a microcosm of enactive, symbolic, and iconic experiences with the topic at hand. Meant to illustrate in a small way how this can be done using the resources available as well as personal preferences, behaviors, and practices to create a personal experience with the subject matter.

In Hypothetical Session: Developing a Climate Friendly Idn

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1GahSOk21o6RwwM0aAm0b_LSUlscXTjCrydiD7D_AJiQ/edit?usp=sharing  The course I am hypothetically developing is on Developing a Climate Friendly Identity. I prefer a mixture of both synchronous and asynchronous instruction. I think that both are necessary for a quality educational experiences. I also think, based on our readings, there is room to parse what is meant by sync/async a bit further. Because in our   Theory and Practice   textbook the distinction is based on time and place vs time and pace, whereas in the   Sync/Async Balancing Act   article (2007) the simpler definition that I am more familiar with seems to be the accepted term. The major difference being a course in which the teacher is engaged and running things vs the students are entirely in charge of the experience and there is no set time frame (not even a term/semester/school year). A course that you would sign up for through one of the learning platforms we ...

Articulate a Microcourse for Something (I chose Teams)

via GIPHY   Welcome to Teams - a tiny primer Late Impressions: Using Articulate was something of an eye-opener to me. I have used a course builder software that developed from an open source product into one that is now profit based, and it is far clunkier than Articulate. I have also seen other people online who have created courses and felt wowed by their ability to design such stream-lined and visually pleasing experiences. Seeing that a lot of what I considered WOW factors are now WYSWG type building experiences in this product takes a lot of mystique out of how people are able to do that and the skills it actually takes, versus the ones I was making assumptions it took. With that, I felt a loss of personability within Articulate. It felt like I was being inducted into the Adobe brand over promoting the content I was creating my course for (admittedly still a large brand, lol). It was not hard to pattern a course after one of the templates, or to fall into the writing tone pro...
