TTT#508: Learning about LRNG at the Red Cedar Writing Project in Michigan
Join Red Cedar Writing Project teachers, +Dawn Reed, +Carrie Nobis, +Dianna Baldwin, +Christopher Working, +Dan Laird, +Jes Matthews, +Aram Kabodian, along with +Chris Sloan and +Christina Cantrill as we jump into building Playlists, XPs, and Badges on LRNG.org this fall. Join us TONIGHT, Wednesday, Oct 12 at 8pm ET/5pm PT at http://edtechtalk.com/ttt These teachers are one group in "Sandboxes for Learning," a National Writing Project initiative funded by "Digital Media and Learning" http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/4601 The 25 teachers involved in this initiative are working to convert the established Youth Voices http://youthvoices.live connected learning curriculum into LRNG Playlists with digital badges. Through leveraging design workshops and after-school programming, the Youth Voices playlists will engage youth involved in the program to play-test and co-develop new connected learning pathways and opportunities. On this webcast we hope to answer some of these questions: - How to build a playlist in LRNG? - How to link to YV? - Badges - creating and designing - Youth Voices Reading playlists is a little bumpy - scrolling through the playlists is tough - inside and outside screen - scrolling within scrolling is tricky - Readability in YV - Copyright for sources - How to steps - Questions - length of playlist - Tips for teachers - times, level geared toward, class, time frame, level - Search by time frame, subject area, age - Where does the writing go for students to get a badge
