This is the last in a set of four posts transcribing Notes and Bookmarks collected along the way, of readings reread. It’s also part of a larger series of posts from March 2020 onwards, about teaching and resources for doing so, online during COVID-19.
EVERYTHING by Jesse Stommel. Here are some examples.
I have issues with procotoring in general. Exams should be opportunities for learning not a way to police learning and students. But proctoring by video camera is quite different from proctoring in person in a large room.

1) Design assignments that rely on student experience and emphasize context. No busy work.
2) Talk to students. Ask when and how they learn.
3) Start by trusting students. Cultures of trust make space for honest conversation about struggles that may otherwise lead to cheating. https://t.co/Rre8vF06lA— Jesse Stommel (@Jessifer) April 8, 2020
Wow. This is entrapment. Not a great way to build a learning community. Don’t trick students into cheating. This shouldn’t have to be said. https://t.co/iSFYpRkvqU

This new piece on @HybridPed is one of the best we've published in years and utterly necessary right now.
The entire industry of remote and algorithmic test proctoring is reprehensible. Institutions shouldn't be trusting for-profit ed-tech more than their own students. https://t.co/23TVLS3Ctb

Right now, anyone asking me questions about #edu hears a long prologue focused on the problems with the word “continuity.” Every leader or institution using the word “continuity” is making a critical error that has me suspicious of every single other decision they make. https://t.co/e1Pk4AdeEK

My school just "pivoted" to online. Here's the message I sent to students:
I'm here to support you however I can. Take care of yourself and your family first. Our class should not be your priority. Everything about this class is flexible. Whatever happens, we will work it out.
