Today's cast includes your humble podcast host, Larry Burden, an "Optional Expression of Learning," the TechNollerGist, David Noller, and his tag team partner coming off the top ISTE turnbuckle, Danelle Brostrom!
TCAPSLoop moment of zen:
“To banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality.” ― John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice
The Agenda:
ISTE Standard 1.6 -- Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Discuss how students can use online tools to create their own expressions of learning. How to express learning about a play, musical notation, or a mathematical concept?

Because this is a "Standard" and not an "Assignment" it is a skill and a practice that K-12 students and teachers can engage in developmentally appropriate ways. While it might be disruptive in the early stages, it can develop into a common practice and routine... similar to using Google Suite, Google Classroom, or Brightspace.
Example: Use scale modeling to build a replica of something in the real world.
Optional Expressions of Learning:
3D Printed scale model including how calculations of scale are necessary
Graph paper representation of room layout and structure
Minecraft screencast of real building build to scale (Gracie made the Mighty Mac in Minecraft in 6th grade)
YouTube video: Using scale to read a map and plan a trip
Website: How to use scale to understand distance and/or size
Requirements:
Guide on the Side mentality
Repeated practice of student choice
Throughout a school year
From K-12
Across the curriculum
Awareness of tools (not expertise); expertise of students
Patience, willingness to accept failure
Acceptance of alternate expressions of learning as valid
A massive war in a fast-moving digital age. We've never seen it. Be careful with what you're sharing, the bots and bad actors are out in full force. Follow credible media outlets and journalists, many who are on the ground reporting. Important time for real information. - Ken Haddad (Michigan journalist/writer)
