@kevinmarks @krisshaffer Agree privacy through data empowerment. Allow students to decide when to share. Been using @withknown for this

@kevinmarks
@jgmac1106 @krisshaffer You know I'm a big @withknown fan but I think understanding that html is mainly text you can put on a server matters

@kevinmarks @krisshaffer @withknown today in class we will be using x-ray goggles to get at this very lesson, html =text structure thats all

@benwerd
@jgmac1106 @kevinmarks @krisshaffer @withknown Exactly this - markup is just extra information added to text. Really empowering idea.

@benwerd @kevinmarks @krisshaffer @withknown Yes if I can teach 3rd grader to indent a paragraph I can teach them to start with a <p> tag

@jgmac1106
@benwerd @kevinmarks @krisshaffer @withknown though I can not stress how difficult even the most basic steps can be with young adults

@benwerd
@jgmac1106 @kevinmarks @krisshaffer @withknown My opinion: understanding a page can be self-expression is vital. Imposed design inhibits.

@benwerd
@jgmac1106 @kevinmarks @krisshaffer @withknown Oh for sure. I learned HTML as a teenager but it took me years to "get" it.

@krisshaffer
@benwerd @jgmac1106 @kevinmarks @withknown Biggest hurdle I've seen as a tech advocate/faculty developer is psychological.

@krisshaffer
@benwerd @jgmac1106 @kevinmarks @withknown Even if tool/process is super-easy, if it looks scary or too different, resistance is strong.

@benwerd
@krisshaffer @jgmac1106 @kevinmarks @withknown Btw there's also huge value in learning APIs and JavaScript. All valuable and contributory.

@jgmac1106
@krisshaffer @benwerd @kevinmarks @withknown big debate do you teach a grid system first and avoid positioning or just give template

#
@benwerd
@jgmac1106 @krisshaffer @kevinmarks @withknown Grid system seems like advanced stuff to me - design rather than HTML education.

@kevinmarks
@krisshaffer @benwerd @jgmac1106 @withknown I wonder if a http://tilde.club approach might work? Retro chic of *.edu/~/[yourname]

@krisshaffer
@kevinmarks @benwerd @jgmac1106 @withknown I'm in "Domain of One's Own" context. All students & faculty already get domain & shared hosting.

#
@benwerd
@kevinmarks @krisshaffer @jgmac1106 @withknown I like the "give them their own domain" approach - or subdomain if cost prohibitive.

@kevinmarks @benwerd @jgmac1106 @withknown Trying to empower people to do cool things in their spaces.

@krisshaffer
@kevinmarks @benwerd @jgmac1106 @withknown I want to move beyond just FOSS tools & open access, move towards open-source content.

@kevinmarks
@jgmac1106 @krisshaffer @benwerd @withknown I'd start with plaintext, then teach POSH (<h1> <p> <ol> etc) then go with <nav><article><aside>

#
@jgmac1106
@kevinmarks @krisshaffer @benwerd @withknown yeah tag tag revolution, html boxes and x-ray goggles great for POSH cc @chadsansing

@kevinmarks
@jgmac1106 @krisshaffer @benwerd @withknown once you have that structure, you can explain CSS, then introduce class.
