    1. He called it "the pragmatic principle." As James summed it up, the pragmaticprinciple is "if it's true, it makes a difference; if it makes no difference, it's not true."

      Sounds like "catalytic validity" from Patti Lather. Research is valid if it does something.

    1. The school district board shall not select anytextbook, instructional material, or academic curriculum thatpromotes any divisive or inherently racist concept described insection 3313.6029 of the Revised Code.

      Underlined portions are the revisions.

    1. Lewison et al. (2008) identify four qualities of critical stance:consciously engaging; entertaining alternate ways of being; taking responsibility toinquire; and being reflexive.

      This is a new framework to me- Framework of "critical stance."

    2. insufficientopportunities for professional development to build digital pedagogical competenciesand update curriculum to reflect effective pedagogies (Hadziristic,2017).

      Justification for future work with teachers/faculty on DCP

    1. Creating Online Assignments

      Could this also be a place for some student creativity, like a PowerPoint or a creative/annotated image to represent what they know?

      Tinkercad is a tool we use to design in 3D and then 3D print in the Makerspace. Maybe that could also be a creative assignment?

    1. Preparing video content in advance of the day students need to access it can help greatly with giving you the time to consider and resolve copyright concerns. 

      Again, is this possible for Remote Days?

    2. Preparing video content in advance of the day students need to access it can help greatly with giving you the time to consider and resolve accessibility concerns. 

      Will this be possible for Remote Days?

    1. they're logged into it in the classroom, or remotely. All students can add contributions in real-time. Zoom also has a built-in whiteboard space that can be utilized, but there are challenges with having students in the classroom logged into the Zoom meeting at the same time. These options allow all students to easily contribute at once.

      Is this pertinent to asynchronous work? I'm not sure Virtual Whiteboards are a good asynchronous option... maybe if students realize that they will be contributing at different times?

      Missing links... or is the link below the tips?

    1. Depending on the course, there may be certain material in the course that does not have to be covered at a specific point in the semester.

      Yes, I think this is a key point here.

    1. Power-assisted door openers (initially intended for individuals with mobility deficits) decreased the spread of the COVID-19 virus as everyone did not need to touch the same door knob to open a door. So too, unanticipated learning benefits can be realized by implementing universal design in education. Closed captioning is needed for persons with hearing impairments, but it is also beneficial for students who are non-native English language students. (For more information, watch the following video from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Why is accessibility important? (Links to an external site.) [2:35 minutes].)

      I think this might be more connected to universal design.

    1. Zoom (online meetings)

      Should the polling capability be featured here?

      Also- the ones linked to Zoom are messing with my head. It seems to me now that Zoom is the mechanism by which students can meet virtually, but I see how students could also present and meet in groups and faculty can present. Maybe because Zoom is just the water in which we swim (swam?) for the past year, it seems like a more general tool than one that can be named pedagogically.

    2. VidGrid (video creation and distribution)

      I think the VidGrid Quizzing is an assessment, but not seeing VidGrid alone as assessment. - Nevermind, I see what this is for. If students create a video to be assessed. I didn't think of that at first.

    3. VidGrid Quizzing (video quizzes)

      I sort of wish this had another name because I think of it less as a quiz (like EdPuzzle too) and more of a way to make video instruction interactive. Perhaps we could put both of these in Presenting Content to Students as well?

    1. Penzu (online journal)  

      I haven't heard of this one, but perhaps some other common blogging tools instead/in addition to. Blogger? Oh wait, I see blogger below and I think it makes sense under writing.

    2. Audacity (audio creation)

      I kind of think Audacity would mainly be used to create a podcast type assignment- so I think it would be better under group or individual digital projects in assessments.

    3. Kahoot (online quizzing/polling games) 

      Love Kahoot- but I'm wondering if this really counts as discussing. In my mind, it's either an informal assessment or a way to make presentations more interactive. I think it would probably be better under assessments.

    4. Reddit (online discussion)

      I'm wondering if there are professors using Reddit. I know a couple (including myself) that use Twitter to engage students with global communities. I might include Twitter instead?

    5. TopHat (online discussion and class engagement)  

      I was not familiar with this one, but I'm wondering if we should have this at all as it seems redundant to Canvas and Zoom. Do many professors use it already and like it?

    1. Access Penzu at https://penzu.com/ SEE IT IN ACTION Xavier Examples: Coming Soon - submit one to us here!

      Side note- I think it would be helpful if these links opened in a new tab. Especially on these pages where users will most likely be going through each link and wanting to keep some open.

    1. LECTURE BASED

      Maybe Lecture Based Could be collapsed with Demonstration/Simulation. Or perhaps they could be something like "Creating Video Content" or "Curating Video Content"? I guess audio is in there too. Maybe just "Creating Content" or "Curating Content." In that case, Text based could include some open source textbook resources?? Not sure how that works with the bookstore and all that.

    2. Yammer (social networking for professionals

      I feel like Yammer didn't really take off, particularly for a tool for teaching. This can probably be removed.

    3. Educational Films and Documentaries (on-demand educational films and documentaries

      This is what this website now says: "The OhioLINK Digital Resource Commons (DRC) was taken offline on August 31, 2021."

    4. Twine (interactive story telling)

      I'm not that familiar with Twine, but in my mind I was thinking about how Teaching with Tech could be more user-friendly for professors and was thinking that a "Choose your own adventure" type of site might be helpful, maybe with Twine? Although, it essentially works like that with your three big categories and subcategories, so that might just be gimmicky.

    5. Flipgrid (video creation and distribution

      Not sure about Flipgrid here. In my understanding, it's more like a discussion board, but with video instead of text, although students can now record their screens as well. I might move this to engaging with students.

    6. VidGrid (video creation and distribution

      This should certainly stay- just think maybe we should add some information about the "quiz" feature that makes these more interactive and like EdPuzzle.

    7. Articulate Storyline (online simulations)

      To me, this is too advanced for a regular faculty member to use. Instructional designers may use this to design online courses, but I think it could be removed as it's only available as a trial or very expensive. I think VidGrid/EdPuzzle could be used to do what faculty might have in mind for this.

    8. Icon Legend:

      Like we discussed, I think it would be helpful to have an X icon or something that indicates which are supported by Xavier, or perhaps a separate list of Xavier supported tools.

    1. share,  we would love to hear from you!

      I think this form should perhaps be a bit shorter. I think just naming the tool and having faculty say how they use it would lower the barrier to sharing.

    1. By using the 5E Learning Cycles teachers will be able to:•Provide supports to students as they learn to frame questions, assess and analyze data, and create and critique explanations (including engaging with others in a public forum) – all important components of scientific and engineering practices.•Select instructional materials that promote the teaching and learning of science by using scientific and engineering practices. •Assess students’ abilities in multiple ways that are compatible with scientific and engineering practices. Students engaging with grade-appropriate science content through scientific and engineering practices and the 5E Learning Cyclewill be better prepared to meet the challenges as they enter higher education or pursue careers.

      The learning cycle is in the Ohio Standards for Science.
