Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

I think these are all good suggestions, and more importantly, they represent a way of thinking that is based on more than just ways to get content to people. Here they are (quoted):

  • Check in with your students regularly
  • Help your students' families get connected
  • Choose tools that are mobile-friendly and/or can be used offline
  • Try to keep online lessons asynchronous vs. synchronous
  • Double down on project-based learning
  • Maintain extracurricular communities
  • Partner with community-based organization

What I like about this list is how it treats individuals as individuals, takes care to support them, and places learning into the broader community and social contexts students findthemselves in.
