What's the #MarginalSyllabus? Since 2016, this project has convened and sustained convos with educators about equity in education through open & collaborative web annotation. You can learn more about the Marginal Syllabus, previous syllabi & research at marginalsyllab.us /2
And what's "marginal" about the #MarginalSyllabus? We partner with authors whose writing is contrary to dominant education norms, we read & annotate in the margins of online texts, and we discuss educational equity using open-source tech that's marginal to commercial edtech /3

It's that time of the year & we're talking syllabi: How to create or tweak, how to co-design with students, whether or not they're a contract, what purposes they serve & whose voices are included and excluded. Here's a THREAD about ANNOTATING your syllabus with your students 1/10
A bit of context: In 2016, I started using @hypothes_is open web annotation in my courses. Students read texts together, sometimes publicly though often privately, and use H for collaborative discussion & to deepen convo around topics & ideas based upon interests & questions 2/10
In addition to collaboratively annotating texts for discussion throughout the semester, my students and I also use @hypothes_is to annotate our syllabus together. And we do so during the very first week of class. This activity serves a number of very important functions. 3/10

This Times article "Silicon Valley Courts Brand-Name Teachers, Raising Ethics Issues" makes me want to vomit nyti.ms/2x02IyB THREAD
I'm a former NYC public schools educator. Yes, teachers are grossly underpaid, lack material resources & deserve far greater social status.
But is becoming a "brand-name" teacher a sustainable, ethical, or effective means of addressing systemic inequity in American education? No.
