@wbass3 Likewise. in reply to wbass3 #
T-Minus Two days until DLC. Deep breath. #
@techsavvyed Digital Learning Collaborative. Although I like yours, too. in reply to techsavvyed #
I'd like to talk to the folks who made it dark this early. Soon. #
RT @Franki22: RT @buffyjhamilton: Brilliant post: "Robbing Students and Teachers of Joy" by Dean Shareski: http://bit.ly/5n1rY (Yes.-Bud) #
@beverson I like driving to work in the dark. It's the driving home that's horrible. And you're welcome. Glad that worked. in reply to beverson #
Some meetings look more fun than others. http://twitpic.com/o2v24 #
@teach42 It's a set of bears used to help determine ratios and proportions. So they're fewer on purpose. Only one or two purples. in reply to teach42 #
Doctor just called. My bad cholesterol is way down. Hooray! But my triglycerides aren't. Boo. #
I don't have to take meds. Hooray! But she'd like for me to take fish oil. Boo. (And ew.) #
Wow. Lots of you like the fish oil idea. #
@msstewart Cool. They're filling lots of odd jobs here at the house. And the play room looks like a Grateful Dead t-shirt. in reply to msstewart #
@shareski The science-types say this: http://bit.ly/ax9TW in reply to shareski #
@shareski I say they're the molecules that make food taste good. You can counteract them by eating things that are gross. Like fish oil. in reply to shareski #
@nlowell Ew. (And I'm enjoying _Captain's Share_. Lots. Saved it for when I needed it.) in reply to nlowell #
@beverson But it's "with lemon." Yuck. in reply to beverson #
@beverson Interesting, huh? in reply to beverson #
@shareski Maybe @karlfisch can help you there. I hear he's good at diagnostic work. in reply to shareski #
@ChristianLong I hear Plurk's kind of good. in reply to ChristianLong #
@djakes I say social. Because it is. in reply to djakes #
@djakes I understand that argument. But I don't like pretending with language to make people more comfortable. in reply to djakes #
@karlfisch @shareski Could we trade some blood, then? Might that help? in reply to karlfisch #
@djakes Agreed. But I'd rather help folks understand than obscure the situation with extra/fake/illusionary baggage. in reply to djakes #
@djakes @karlfisch I like beginning with the distinction between social networks and social networking sites. Important distinction. in reply to djakes #
@ehelfant That's a good way to think about it. I might argue about the examples, though. in reply to ehelfant #
@djakes Yep. But so does avoidance. And denial. in reply to djakes #
Nuts. I think I have a cold. How's fish oil for that? #
@djakes Alas, I will not. Too close to the expected arrival of our baby. in reply to djakes #
@shareski Screenr can't make videos on the iPhone, but its videos are playable on the phone. in reply to shareski #
Last day of Adaptive Schools class today. We put the class to work on Thursday when we begin DLC. #
@shareski Could they download the SDK and capture that emulator? Not sure about the license. in reply to shareski #
@shareski The SDK is, but I'm not sure about the permission to capture. You should check the license. in reply to shareski #
@MrChase I do, too. Not in love with the reader software yet, but I'm interested in the hardware. in reply to MrChase #
Discussing conflict this morning. I'd argue that constructive conflict is a valuable teaching and learning tool. #
Remind me to write a post soon about our district's digital ecosystem. #
RT @karlfisch: New Post: Twitter Lists & Aggregated Content: Are We Responsible? http://bit.ly/36gJxN (Good questions. – Bud) #
@dmagy Oh. My mistake. Probably safest. in reply to dmagy #
It is not wise to use a netbook for advanced permission granting in Google Apps. Just in case you needed to know. #
@woscholar: Too much window and not enough screen. The save button doesn't make it into visible/clickable range. in reply to woscholar #
@willrich45 Wow. Sounds fun. Enjoy both trips. in reply to willrich45 #
@crafty184 Bravo. Well done. in reply to crafty184 #
Busy day today. Major PD drive kicks off tomorrow. Lots of little things to do to make ready. With @milobo on board, I've high hopes. #
@karlfisch @shareski Yeah. It was thoughtful. Chewing on things. in reply to karlfisch #
Getting excited about Digital Is. #nwpdi #
RT @kassissieh Reading the NY Times' advice on tweens and Facebook. http://bit.ly/4cwhY5 (Comments are interesting. – Bud) #
I love very much seeing that one of my junior high school teachers is using our Virtual Campus. Lots. #
Teagan will ride anywhere at night, so long as she can see the moon. It's important. And captivating. #
@djakes Just one? Must be a quick trip. in reply to djakes #
@djakes Oh. Word games. Fun. I've no idea. in reply to djakes #
"And now," cried Max, "Let the wild rumpus start!" #
@iMrsF Ask your students. They'll have good answers. in reply to iMrsF #
@kellie80 Huh. Never seen it before. Thanks for the pointer. in reply to kellie80 #
Today's poem: "Apropos Palladio" by George Szirtes. http://poems.com/poem.php?date=14553 #
Bonus poem: "Fragments for the End of the Year" by Jennifer K. Sweeney. http://poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/20921 #
@milobo Whoa. Where'd that banner come from? Looks good. in reply to milobo #
@milobo Multitasking? Nope. Not me. in reply to milobo #
@dkuropatwa Ouch. in reply to dkuropatwa #
@joycevalenza Does library karaoke require singing in a whisper? in reply to joycevalenza #
@spillarke I had almost the same response when it came to Moodle messaging. Interesting disconnect you've observed. in reply to spillarke #
RT @spillarke: @unklar Here's what I came up with on filtering and blocking: http://bit.ly/SW6re I'd love to hear what you think. #
@dmagy Sweet. Roll with it. in reply to dmagy #
First day of DLC went well. Great group. #
RT @twoodwar: every so often people who teach should get involved in something so over their head it hurts (Yep. – Bud) #
@bengrey I'm looking forward to reading that proposal. in reply to bengrey #
@karlfisch @smartinez I couldn't help myself. http://bit.ly/42mseI in reply to karlfisch #
@smartinez @karlfisch Not blame. Learning opportunity. in reply to smartinez #
@smartinez A good salesperson does sell us what we want. But a great salesperson helps us want better and more honorably. in reply to smartinez #
<joy>There's about to be coffee.</joy> #
@mccomas Yikes. in reply to mccomas #
@dmagy I can't argue with truth. in reply to dmagy #
RT @dmagy: <geek>budtheteacher</geek> (Yep.- Bud) #
@dmagy I like A, D and F lots. in reply to dmagy #
@karlfisch Could? The trick now might be extinguishing the torches and putting away the pitchforks. in reply to karlfisch #
@ahw Noce. What're y'all working on? in reply to ahw #
@ahw Um. "Nice." Whoops. in reply to ahw #
@karlfisch Huh. in reply to karlfisch #
@ScottElias Mario Kart's a little old for Ani, 4, but she doesn't mind. Send me that copy of Galaxy and I'll try it out for you. in reply to ScottElias #
@jenwagner Kind of you, but no. Money can be spent on far better things than sending teachers to conferences. in reply to jenwagner #
@jenwagner Yeah. I know what you mean. in reply to jenwagner #
@briancsmith Well. If there's barbecue. in reply to briancsmith #
Just spent an hour on the treadmill. With a cold. "Dizzy" is an accurate descriptor right now. Can you think of a better one? #
@beverson Ouch. That doesn't sound so independent. in reply to beverson #
@ChristianLong Thanks. But "salvo" extends a metaphor I don't want to extend. In this case, let's say "utterance."A in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong Anything that gets you blogging is a good thing. in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong Huh? in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong Yeah. I know. Sudden burst and all. But. Derivative. in reply to ChristianLong #
@karlfisch @smartinez What'd you have in mind? in reply to karlfisch #
Close reading is a difficult skill. Far easier to paint with a wide brush and assume what you think something means. Not right, though. #
@NYSCATE Thanks. Looking forward to the presenter's response, if there is one. in reply to NYSCATE #
Huh. https://twitter.com/nyscate/status/5515277125 #
@davecormier Refresh my memory. in reply to davecormier #
Interesting day. A lot goes on. But nothing happens. ♫ http://blip.fm/~g0rfi #
My wife made nacho cheese. From scratch. Nachos forthcoming. Deep breath. #
Mmm. Nachos. http://twitpic.com/op8o8 #
@briancsmith The nachos are now within. Sorry. Next time. in reply to briancsmith #
RT @briancsmith: You know, nothing will ever happen fast enough for people that are on Twitter. #
Looks like I missed an episode of "Thinking with @karlfisch." Looking forward to the rerun. #
Looks like the WordPress 2.0 iPhone app plays very nicely with St. Vrain Blogs. Comments don't sync yet, but they will once we update soon. #
And so it begins. http://twitpic.com/orv8y http://twitpic.com/orv8v #
RT @shareski: The dark side of real time reporting http://tinyurl.com/ykkfeom (I'd not call that "reporting." But I wish folks'd think.) #
@genghiskhanir Hope your show went well last night. 16 years ago, I was the Cowardly Lion in a Niwot High School production of _Wizard_. in reply to genghiskhanir #
@shareski Hang in there. We all have such days. in reply to shareski #
@shareski That article wasn't about sharing. It was about poor judgment. That's an old problem. in reply to shareski #
@epicdrummerwill Don't listen. in reply to epicdrummerwill #
@karlfisch Yeah. Saw that. Reread the piece today. That article has so little to do with technology. in reply to karlfisch #
@shareski What color? in reply to shareski #
Nice. http://bit.ly/ZrJqC #
@shareski Do you mean orange? in reply to shareski #
Ms. the Teacher was Juno for Halloween. So we've got all this Sunny D that we're not drinking. Seems a shame to waste it – but yuck. #
@chrislehmann I love the PC Procaster. Have downloaded, but not yet used, the Mac. #
@johrt Up for lunch soon? It's been too long. in reply to johrt #
