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 ...

A Review of Instructional Platforms: Coursera and Khan Academy

VS The prompt this week is to review two instructional platforms from a suggested list (or select our own). I have chosen Coursera and Khan Academy for my review. These websites each have different goals, audiences, and methods of going about accomplishing those things. Below I will provide a brief blurb on each site pulled from their respective Wikipedia articles. I will give my initial impressions and a personal anecdote of experience with each. I will then rank each site in three categories; 1. ease of use for a person in my identity and with my skillset 2. what I feel are the top two strengths of each website through the instructional design lens at my current understanding level 3. a suggestion apiece for how I could see these sites used in a guided learning experience through the lens of the petal learning through topic exploration method I outlined in my podcast episode below. (I know, exhausting to site myself, but this is my blog and I'm curious if it h...
