Bud the Teacher

• I <3 Screenr. Enough to use an emoticon. #
• @karlfisch True. But I'm working through it. And still warming up. in reply to karlfisch #
• Spent the morning fighting iTunes. I wish it'd quit trying to be smarter than me and just let one sync mixed media playlists to iPods. #
• Give Karl ten minutes. Then do something about what you discover there. Please. http://bit.ly/27tvBm #
• Revisiting my K12Online presentation from last year. There's more to explore in "The Lie of Community," I think. http://j.mp/4jflOM #
• Talking to a SMART company representative. #
• RT @secrettweet: I've been playing piano for eleven years. You told me it sounded good today for the first time. It means a lot, thanks Mom #
• Who needs to hear from you today? #
• @chrislehmann Yeah, yeah. in reply to chrislehmann #
• Teagan's shaking the Rockies rally towel. #
• Nice. #
• So. Bouncing pitches off the ground. #
• Three outs. Street's up. Let's. Go. Rockies. #
• @djakes Yes. in reply to djakes #
• Come on, Huston. #
• RT @milobo: Sometimes a good poem hurts a little to read. http://bit.ly/Dz2Y8 (Today's poem – "Knock, Knock" by Daniel Beaty. – Bud) #
• @briancsmith: In a word, no. in reply to briancsmith #
• RT @markmiazga: @budtheteacher Watch Beaty read that poem live if you get a chance. http://bit.ly/3dwlNr #
• Taking the girls to the Denver Children's Museum today. Should be fun. #
• RT @glassbeed: Wanted: One School, Two Jobs : New on Remote Access: http://bit.ly/9bDZY (Best of luck, Clarence. – Bud) #
• We're dancing. Because that's the rule. Good rule. http://twitpic.com/le142 #
• Making stuff. http://twitpic.com/le37n #
• Ani wrote a poem. http://twitpic.com/ledr2 #
• RT @johncr8on: A worthwhile take on President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize from @RichHarwood http://bit.ly/1146Bx #
• RT @WillyB: Irony: Having to request an unblock for @budtheteacher 's blog so I can share his post titled, "Would You Please Block" (Oh.) #
• @shareski Um. Does he know about the history of the King James? in reply to shareski #
• Speaking of Bibles – YouVersion's iPhone app is just how we want online books to be – places of information and conversation. #
• @milobo I take it class went well? in reply to milobo #
• @shareski KJV is quite the fancy book. in reply to shareski #
• @shareski: Try the novel it's based on. Good stuff. Not sure if I agree yet about it being the "best" new show. in reply to shareski #
• @woscholar Exactly. It's what we want books to be. in reply to woscholar #
• @shareski: I think _Modern Family_ is a better show, both production and writing. _Flash Forward_ is really good, don't get me wrong. in reply to shareski #
• @shareski: But I'm not yet convinced it's got staying power. The gimmick's tricky to sustain. Curious to see where they take things. #
• @shareski: It's not a long read. Give it a whirl. #
• @woscholar: Not one bit. Same premise – completely different directions. in reply to woscholar #
• @woscholar: The author of the book'll be writing for the show at least once this season, but the story is already vastly different. in reply to woscholar #
• @shareski Reading, as @woscholar understands, is fundamental. in reply to shareski #
• @shareski: Oy. You make me sad. in reply to shareski #
• @milobo Glad to hear it. Not surprised. in reply to milobo #
• @skydaddy Quite possibly. (Although the lack of hands on the characters freaks me out, particularly when they're "holding" things.) in reply to skydaddy #
• @shareski: There is, indeed, laughter. And I dig picture books, too. in reply to shareski #
• @iMrsF No to both. in reply to iMrsF #
• @iMrsF I do have access. But it doesn't solve any problems for me at present. Perhaps it will. I've plenty to keep me busy at the moment. in reply to iMrsF #
• @teach42 Totally worth it. in reply to teach42 #
• RT @kylenebeers In Rochester NY working with teachers. Need info on great web tools to use. What do you like? (I dig Twitter, myself. – Bud) #
• @kylenebeers: Finding http://screenr.com useful lately. Nifty. #
• Too little to do and too much time to do it in. Strike that. Reverse it. #
• An opportunity to talk adolescent literacy from @angelamaiers. They're seeking your input. http://bit.ly/aHPsc #
• Tom's right again. http://bit.ly/O9ioD #
• Cool. http://www.ustream.tv/BillCosby #
• @SVVSDHD I think we should talk about that. Got promise. @milobo in reply to SVVSDHD #
• The National Day of Writing is Oct. 20th. How should I celebrate? Do some writing, perhaps? #
• Great idea, @unklar. Indeed you should. Better yet -write something *with* them. in reply to unklar #
• Tonight's dessert. http://yfrog.com/2pru4fj #

• RT @paulallison: Troy Hicks will be joining us again on Teachers Teaching Teachers – in about 55 min. Please join us http://j.mp/17qksx #
• @iMrsF Most newspaper columns? in reply to iMrsF #
• As usual, the comments are the interesting bit.Whttp://bit.ly/6qWGk #
• Dark car ride. Teagan says there's a monster back there. I'd check – but what if she's right? It IS pretty dark. #
• @YooperRun It's like a train wreck. We shouldn't look. But we can't help it. in reply to YooperRun #
• @djakes ". . .instrumental in the success of the changing how innovation is implemented into the learning experience." Huh? in reply to djakes #
• @bhwilkoff Break a leg. in reply to bhwilkoff #
• @aforgrave Original source. Looks like a great lineup. But that sentence is weird. http://events.iasbo.org/TECHCON/speakers.html in reply to aforgrave #
• Analog mashup: Teagan in Fancy Nancy dress up clothes grooving to Snoop Dogg. #
• @djakes I suspect it'll rock, but be a bit jarring. in reply to djakes #
• @danamhuff Why get into that kind of power play? in reply to danamhuff #
• @jonbecker Lame. in reply to jonbecker #
• @jonbecker Understandable. But have you read that story about the kid and the wolf? in reply to jonbecker #
• Good news – no monster. Teagan was very brave. #
• @cribchronicles That's just what Teagan said. #
• @jonbecker Nah. Think it was by Disney. But anyway – there's a lesson in there about fake outs. #
• @jonbecker The waitin' is no fun at all. Sorry, y'all. in reply to jonbecker #
• @danamhuff Sorry. Was thinking about the cell phone. Why try to take the kid's stuff. Bad place for the sub to be, no matter the school. #
• @dmagy I'm ignoring that comment. #
• @danamhuff Sadly, yes. in reply to danamhuff #
• Do you think it's time to get rid of my @djakes wallpaper? I kinda like it. http://yfrog.com/1qkwjj #
• I didn't mean to, but I just caught the opening of _glee_. Holy cow. I'm in. #
• @djakes Yeah. Me, too. But they only had a couple rolls of @shareski. No @djakes. I don't know who they've got stocking the place. in reply to djakes #
• Apparently my Twittersphere knows an awful lot about _glee_. Wow. I watched two minutes – so I'm not following. But wow. #
• Thinking about this webinar I'm doing next week. http://bit.ly/3aMUA7 What would YOU want to say to this audience? #
• Thinking about how to apply yarn to thinking about filters. #
• @milobo: 'Cept I want to have folks feel the getting left behind bit. Talking with some grad students next week about filtering. in reply to milobo #
• @milobo Perhaps I should've said "yarnishness." Interactive. Move-y. Kinesthetic. (And not tying random folks up for arbitrary reasons.) #
• These are really good questions. Looking forward to answering them. You? http://budtheteacher.etherpad.com/1 #
• @shareski It IS good advice. in reply to shareski #
• @datruss Is your website blocked? If not, download the videos and upload them to the blog. in reply to datruss #
• @mwacker Because it's really, really, really, really hard? in reply to mwacker #
• @mwacker Yes. Yes. Yes. Writing courses is hard. Writing them with others is harder. Not sharing common goals still harder. in reply to mwacker #
• @mwacker Sustaining collaboration over time is wicked hard. Not saying it doesn't and can't happen – but it's not casual. in reply to mwacker #
• Looks like I'm pulling a @shareski. I'm okay with that. http://budtheteacher.etherpad.com/1 #
• @mwacker Agreed. But human behavior is rarely about efficiency. in reply to mwacker #
• @TeresaRoebuck If the timing makes sense, sure. I'm at budtheteacher@gmail.com if you want to talk logistics. in reply to TeresaRoebuck #
• RT @dogtrax: New blog post: Do you write with your students? http://bit.ly/17N99q #

• Spending the day in an Adaptive Schools course. Looking forward to it. #
• @RussGoerend No doctorate for me. Just trying to get up to speed on district language. in reply to RussGoerend #
• @porchdragon Can be. Yep. Important to think about such limits. in reply to porchdragon #
• Four group member capabilities important for productive work. (p. 28, _The Adaptive School_ Garmston & Wellman) http://yfrog.com/3bu93j #
• Those seem like useful ideas to discuss before/during building school-based teams. #
• The obvious is rarely obvious until it is put into language and shared. #
• "We are often caught up in the tyranny of _or_ (Collins & Porras, 1997)." – _Adaptive School_ Syllabus, Garmston & Wellman, p.43 #
• RT @willrich45: Reading: "Does the Brain Like E-Books?" http://j.mp/2VZRyk Love Liu's thoughts. #
• @KevinByers That's not a good defense. Not even relevant. #
• @melaniemcbride @courosa They won't. in reply to melaniemcbride #
• @melaniemcbride No, I just don't think just new blood will fix anything. We need to fix broken things today and not hope someone else will. in reply to melaniemcbride #
• @KevinByers Or what "hackers" are. in reply to KevinByers #
• @garystager That happened four miles from my house. Call on the voicemail from the police asking us to be on the lookout. Glad he's okay. in reply to garystager #
• Wondering when we'll build the St. Vrain Valley School District Twitter List. #
• And who will go on it. Students? Staff? Parents? All of the above? Hmmm. #
• The phone. The phone is . . .you know. #
• @fceblog Also a good question. in reply to fceblog #
• @elliottjb Sorry. But Twitter's all about sharing. in reply to elliottjb #

• RT @AndreaZellner: Just blogged this: Google Wave is the Prom: http://bit.ly/1e4beI (Best. Title. Bud) #
• @ijohnpederson Whew. That's a relief. (There is, after all, an animal in trouble. Somewhere.) in reply to ijohnpederson #
• @chrislehmann No. I don't get it either. in reply to chrislehmann #
• No, we didn't start the fire. But I wonder if we might get some of it put out. #
• Suppose you had a few minutes with your school board and a collaborative space for them to play in. What might you have them do together? #
• @wif9757 Does this send direct to Wiffiti? #
• When clickers aren't clickers. #wif9757 #
• Playing today. http://wiffiti.com/screens/9757 #
• Making things. (How's that for vague?) #
• In the process of deleting 187,896 Moodle notifications from my Inbox. We're using the heck out of Moodle. The joys of admin. #
• @milobo: A key ring? I hope you didn't pay too much. Most real estate folks I know will give you those for free. in reply to milobo #
• @milobo Nice. But I bet you overpaid. And gave those folks a sweet ad in your picture. (Seriously – Congratulations!) in reply to milobo #
• Mountain cabin bound. #
• Lily Lake, Colorado. http://twitpic.com/lw196 #
• Reflection. http://twitpic.com/lw2vc #
• Back home from the mountains. Was kind of hoping the ISTE keynote silliness was a hoax. Turns out the hoax was here in Fort Collins. #
• Thinking about tomorrow morning's board presentation. In a supporting role, I want them to play and make something, but I'm not sure what. #
• @MyraG Might be a blessing and a curse. Mostly a curse. But you're smart. Teach me why it's worth our time, 'k? #
• It is good to have good collaborators. #
• What the heck. Let's see what comes in. Want to ping my school board? http://bit.ly/5XzK1 #
• @milobo This is true. in reply to milobo #
