Educators planning for the new semester: Annotate the syllabus.

Whether K-12 or higher ed.

Whatever your discipline and course format.

Because students should read the syllabus & then discuss it.

Create an #AnnotatedSyllabus

Thread > An #AnnotatedSyllabus is a simple strategy: Simple conceptually, for it is easy to understand; simple pedagogically, for it is easy to implement and facilitate; and simple technologically, just share your syllabus as a Gdoc that allows for commentary.

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

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.
