Bud the Teacher

• Spending the morning with our elementary math curriculum adoption team and the afternoon with our elementary lab managers. Busy Monday. #
• Very thoughtful dialogue from the math committee as they discuss current math program. Important work. #
• Is filling out a questionnaire an interview? #
• I ask because I keep getting them in my email. Feels like I'm doing someone else's homework for them. #
• @ijohnpederson I'd build a workshop and recruit creative kids to come and build useful stuff in it. Stuff worth sharing. in reply to ijohnpederson #
• @karlfisch Big shots. in reply to karlfisch #
• So long as we make it a Big Deal, it'll be a Big Deal. Even if it shouldn't be. #
• Today's poem: "Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes. http://bit.ly/2bcraB Can't get it out of my head today for some reason. #
• @karlfisch Have fun and knock 'em dead. in reply to karlfisch #
• Aw, nuts. @milobo's doing homework. No way I can keep up. #

• Spending the day mapping a long term tech professional development plan with @milobo. #
• Headed to soccer practice. Long day. Good day. Moving slower than I'd like to day. But moving forward day. #
• Teagan likes taking notes at soccer practice. http://twitpic.com/hvotf #
• @karlstrope Yep. Same dude. My boss's boss. in reply to karlstrope #
• _Mad Men_. Season 2. I still don't get this show. Which is, I think, the point. #
• @woscholar Any eRate issues with your open wireless? in reply to woscholar #
• RT @chrislehmann We must be humble before the enormity of the task in front of us, and we should distrust anyone who is not. (Yep. – Bud) #
• @woscholar How are you proving educational use only? (A sticking point for eligibility.) Been audited? in reply to woscholar #
• @woscholar Got anything in writing? in reply to woscholar #
• Finished this. http://levgrossman.com/magicians.html Need a new pleasure read. Suggestions? #

• @ehelfant Elegance looks interesting. Thanks. in reply to ehelfant #
• @woscholar Anything in writing on the lack of an eRate problem. Trying to help our district along that path. in reply to woscholar #
• @woscholar Quite right. This week is more than booked. Next? in reply to woscholar #
• @woscholar Thanks. Don't worry about next week. Invest in family. I'll be around when you get back. in reply to woscholar #
• Run's done. Big one (for me) today. Nailed it. #
• Talking to some online educators today about online learning and 21st Century skills. What should I be sure to tell them? #
• @garystager I'm feeling like that about "online learning," too, depending on who's doing the defining. in reply to garystager #
• @fceblog Nice. in reply to fceblog #
• Blogging with our curriculum and assessment department this morning. Love it. #

• The phone. The phone is ringing. #
• Uh oh. It's ringing again. #
• I wonder what's going to work this time. #
• Okay. Flying into the coloring book was kind of cool. But how did the flamingo call for help? Footnoterphone? #
• I should sing my way through all my troubleshooting. "The network. The network is down." or maybe "The Web. The Web is filtered." #
• @ijohnpederson: That's a punishment everytime the phone rings. I kind of like it. in reply to ijohnpederson #
• @ijohnpederson LOL. in reply to ijohnpederson #

• @andrea_r If you were a duck in an aviator's cap, and named Ning Ning, how could you be anything other than seweous? in reply to andrea_r #
• @lorenchuk Hey. That's cool good luck and go get 'em. Speak like you're writing and you'll be just fine. in reply to lorenchuk #
• .@iMrsF It IS the traditional timeline. Only in reverse. I think it'd be more engaging and build more connections. in reply to iMrsF #
• @nashworld Huh. I'd've liked to have heard that. in reply to nashworld #
• @lorenchuk Minor constraints. You'll be fine. in reply to lorenchuk #

• @learningdonna Good epidemics are really hard to find. in reply to learningdonna #
• Interesting publishing model. http://twitpic.com/i0288 #
• @ddmeyer Like you've been hiding the transparent pieces of your work? in reply to ddmeyer #
• Just attended a session from @milobo on "Info Ninjas." Sweet. #
• Pleased that @dmagy has a head for design. #
• The best part about building capacity in others is that you begin to get to watch them do awesome things. #
• RT @doctorow Teaching kids online privacy with games: http://tinyurl.com/lvpvjg #
• Learning this morning about iPhone app development. @milobo on my left. @scottelias on the right. Programming's just composition, right? #
• Question – What does a mobile website made with Dashcode look like on a Blackberry? #
• @SVVSDHD They can create their own and need to in order to access the Planet. in reply to SVVSDHD #
• For the next thirty minutes, I'm going to do nothing in particular. If I can last that long. #
• Or maybe read a little. #
• @courosa I was hoping no one would notice. in reply to courosa #

• @fceblog Thanks! in reply to fceblog #
• Run's done. #
• @melaniemcbride Tricky business, the space between active listening and crafting responses. in reply to melaniemcbride #
• My biggest beef with teaching of late is that we are constantly creating contrived situations to #
• Why are contrived lists such a dominant form? "Top Ten X" and "Five Best Y." Are we all suckers for such arbitrary proclamations? #
• @MrChase Whoops. Meant to abandon that thought in favor of the next one. Apparently, I'm a technidiot. in reply to MrChase #
• @MrChase . . . Am frustrated by rules and limits for actions and activities and processes that aren't actually bounded by such. in reply to MrChase #
• @karlstrope Yeah. That's exactly what I'm thinking today. Nice find. in reply to karlstrope #
• @budtheteacher Paul Graham on the "cheeseburger" of essay styles. http://j.mp/YNlgU (via @karlstrope) #
• @MrChase such as that last retweet. See footnote number two. We make up realities that aren't real and then declare rules as truth. in reply to MrChase #
• Soccer time. #
• In video conversion heck. I hate codecs. I really do. #
• @MrChase: Before every game, I say, "Please, Ani, don't hurt 'em." And she doesn't. in reply to MrChase #
• @injenuity True. in reply to injenuity #
• Downloading the iPhone SDK. While continuing to fight video. I have hope. Or a distraction. Either way. #
• Played with Dashcode last night. Functional mobile or non-mobile site built and running in about fifteen minutes. Not bad. #
• Blueberry muffins. Then play time. Then football. Then video conversion. Again. One of these things is not like the other. #
• @cmasson50 I got it and will be happy to get back to her during work hours. in reply to cmasson50 #

• @webenglishteach Yep. Thankfully no one hurt. in reply to webenglishteach #
• More info about the "devices" in Frederick/Firestone. http://bit.ly/MIQC2 #
• .@coolcatteacher Why does your "right to parent" trump YouTube's "right to publish?" (I don't think it does or should.) #
• @coolcatteacher But it's not. And shouldn't be. in reply to coolcatteacher #
