This visual resource reminded me in look and sentiment of the graphic novel CITE mailed to all of us along with the pack of cards.

I liked reading through and considering the various perspectives of students who were participants in some of our colleagues CITE projects, but I found myself wanting to know more and connect these teacher-candidate…[Read more]

yes, your points about the ways that asylum-seekers are forced to deal with City apps that crash and require wifi that isn’t as strong as it needs to be to secure their place in line with social safety nets or make an appointment with ICE or to find employment – it’s infuriating and feels purposefully broken/exclusionary!

Have you guys seen a version of this visualization of equity? It helps us imagine the ways that our (past) thinking about ‘leveling’ the playing field have not gone far enough to address systemic injustice that stretches back generations before technology was invented.

I didn’t find any ONE card that specifically spoke to the phenomenon I’m interested in (as summarized above), but I discarded those…[Read more]

So, before I do the card thing (I’m still haunted by the vicious papercut they gave me when I opened them a few weeks back), I want to jot down my “why” and see if there is a card (or a series of cards) that match this sentiment.

I’m a big believer that just because we can DO a thing doesn’t mean we know how to effectively teach it. Every soccer…[Read more]
