@johrt Good idea. How's Friday look for lunch? I'm available most of the day. in reply to johrt #
A nice surprise was waiting for me when I got to work this morning. Thanks, @hickstro. Looking forward to it. http://twitpic.com/ovuor #
@brueckj23 Build the subgroups as calendars and attach/subscribe them to the master, perhaps? in reply to brueckj23 #
@hickstro Think we should? Tomorrow and Wednesday are very flexible. in reply to hickstro #
RT @BadAstronomer: "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." #CarlSagan, 1934 – 1996 #
So. Yeah. That was Monday. #
@courosa You're welcome. Tough road, but one worth traveling. in reply to courosa #
@courosa I'm hopeful. We'll see. in reply to courosa #
Chili and cornbread and football. I can handle that. #
And we are making gingerbread cookies. Score. #
Brent Musburger is hosting. Cool. #
Oh. Nevermind. #
@hpitler Tomorrow, we will be friends. Tonight, I'm rooting against you. (Enjoy the game. Good night to be there.) in reply to hpitler #
Headed to the oven. http://twitpic.com/oy4yu #
After. http://twitpic.com/oy6i6 #
Spending the day catching up on reporting and correspondence. #
@TheJLV Nah. Change requires imbalance. At least for a little while. in reply to TheJLV #
@TheJLV I'll give you that. in reply to TheJLV #
Seriously digging into e-mail. If I'm not back in a couple of hours, send for help. And bring a shovel. #
@ijohnpederson Me, too. I elect that you make such a thing. And share it. Thanks! in reply to ijohnpederson #
RT @kmanzo: EdWeek reports on "Leaders and Laggards": States Seen Lagging on Innovation, Technology http://tinyurl.com/yhxgpts #
Hmm. Do our school district's web presences make up our digital ecosystem or our digital habitat? #
@jeffmason But it's on the web. It's not local. Does that change your answer? in reply to jeffmason #
@twoodwar Ah. But I'm talking more than web sites. We've got environments. in reply to twoodwar #
Looking pretty evenly split on habitat or ecosystem to describe our school district's digital environment. Still time to vote. #
@gatorgoddess I considered biome. And let it go. Too biotic. in reply to gatorgoddess #
Feeling some resistance to the phrase, "A business would. . ." #
@elephantsgerald Thank you. You know just where I'm coming from. in reply to elephantsgerald #
@bengrey What's the topic? in reply to bengrey #
Watching _V_. Man that show creeped me out when I was a kid. #
@courosa Diana. And the rodent snacks. Eek. in reply to courosa #
@micwalker I was four or five. Definitely shouldn't've watched. in reply to micwalker #
NWP's Annual Report is out. I'm in good company. http://bit.ly/3NE0NE #
Reminder – lots of our systems will be down for maintenance this weekend. Details via the link. http://bit.ly/1KZzJo #
@poh Thanks, Paul. Much appreciated. in reply to poh #
@bgblogging Not a thing. Should I? in reply to bgblogging #
Building a presentation with @hickstro. Going to be fun, I think. #ncte #

RT @Nancy_A: This Cassini image knocked my socks off. You? http://bit.ly/4BO4vd #
@AndreaZellner Crap detectors. in reply to AndreaZellner #
@smartinez @ccassenelli Meep. #
Meep. #
RT @mahlness: new post: New Internet Task Force – http://bit.ly/3yxafC #
@adinasullivan Meep to that. in reply to adinasullivan #
@melaniemcbride Same as the value of all informal learning. in reply to melaniemcbride #
Laughter makes the tech meetings easier. #
So, too, does knowing that our bench tech knows the value of the Oxford comma. #
That phone. It's a ringing. #
I watched _V_ last night, and tonight, the gerbil's missing from _Wonder Pets_. Coincidence? I think not. #
@jswiatek I believe she was a snack. in reply to jswiatek #
@learningdonna Hang in there. in reply to learningdonna #
Congratulations to @johncr8on, our new school board president. A wise choice. #

RT @karlfisch: I'll be participating in this EdWeek/TeacherMagazine chat today at 4:30 – 5:30 EST http://bit.ly/2yUz4H . . . #
Reading: Doc Searls Weblog · Beyond Social Media http://instapaper.com/z38mad8S #
Convergence. http://twitpic.com/p9xj6 #
Spent the day today embedded in middle school library. Lots of questions. Good ones. #
Hey automated lady – when you say that my estimated wait time is ten seconds when I've been on hold for seven minutes, I don't believe you. #
Especially the fourth or fifth time you say so. #
@msstewart I'll be there. If I'm not still on hold. in reply to msstewart #
That computer is a dirty, dirty liar. #
Twenty minutes in to my "estimated wait, ten seconds," I surrender. #
Glowing reports at the girls' parent-teacher conferences. I'm very impressed. #
RT @milobo: http://twitpic.com/p9pd8 – Brainstorming this afternoon about tech infused poetry projects. Here's what students already know. #
Good on them. http://bit.ly/1K4370 #
@bbarreda Are you looking for this? http://educationalvodcasting.com/ in reply to bbarreda #
@mwacker You're welcome. Kind of you. in reply to mwacker #
Biscuits. From scratch. @milobo's got skills. http://twitpic.com/pcnao #
Just saw a pretty sweet demo of a prototype teeny projector. iPod sized. Nice. Thanks to Westview MS for inviting Micron in to play. #
@bengrey How precise of you. in reply to bengrey #
This looks interesting. Should I read it? http://twitpic.com/peax4 #
@mwyman It's a series? What's the first one called? in reply to mwyman #
@bengrey I wonder what we'd lose if we all lost our good ol' eight tracks. Oh. Wait. in reply to bengrey #
@karlfisch Nah. His post was thoughtful. It's the "what'll we do without books" question that's frustrating. in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch What'll we do when VHS goes away? Oh, nuts. How about cassettes? Oh, man. Folios? Drat. in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch Vooks, so far, are silly. But they don't have to be. One day, people will lament that the 2D video book format is going away. in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch So I didn't miss much, then? in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch And they uStreamed it? in reply to karlfisch #
@msstewart Nice. in reply to msstewart #
@ChristianLong Ugh. About to do the same. in reply to ChristianLong #
@glassbeed Howdy from northern Colorado, USA. There will be wittiness. But first, coffee. Can y'all share some wittiness back this way? in reply to glassbeed #
@plugusin @ddraper Really? Lurking is failing? Nah. We don't all have to talk all the time. In fact, we shouldn't. in reply to plugusin #
Random trivia. The _Lassie_ theme song is actually called "The Secret of Silent Hills." Who knew? #
It should've been called "The Kid Fell Down the Well. Again." #
@bbarreda We are all younger than we're going to be. in reply to bbarreda #
@karlfisch Wow. They went all out. in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch @mporterlps Well. Good on him. in reply to karlfisch #
@garystager @karlfisch Sure. But calling out isn't the same as drive by anger flinging. Thoughtful critique is good. Bandwagon yelling, not. in reply to garystager #
@plugusin @ddraper Is "active learning" possible only in digital spaces? I don't think it is. So lurking isn't relevant to that concern. in reply to plugusin #
Neighbor across the street has his Christmas lights up. Show off. #
@dlaufenberg Get thee to work, then. in reply to dlaufenberg #
@beverson @svvsdhd Good question for next time. I expected teachers to tell their students. Should we have said that in the notices? in reply to beverson #
@MyraG @svvsdhd @beverson Wondering what else I could've done. Don't have a good tool for all Moodle messaging. Suggestions? in reply to MyraG #
@SVVSDHD Sounds good. in reply to SVVSDHD #
@sarahpom We all take breaks. It'll come. Be ready. in reply to sarahpom #
@beverson Let that student know – I think Virtual Campus is back up. #
@beverson Yeah. I agree. Just thinking about options. in reply to beverson #
@dmagy Nope. You precise people, you. (Period, not question mark, as it is a statement of and not the question.) #
We own a trifle dish. Who knew? #
@bgblogging No fondue pot. And Ms. The Teacher is actually making a trifle. She bought the dish on purpose. Crazy, huh? in reply to bgblogging #
@bgblogging Highly likely. My wife is much more literary than I. (Seriously though. A trifle. Wow. I married class.) in reply to bgblogging #
At the grocery for the third time today. #pregnancymakesyouforgetthings #
@shareski Are you having a trifle, too? in reply to shareski #
@shareski Nice. We're playing Catan with our own group of newbies. But yeah. I'm orange. in reply to shareski #
@shareski Knights & Seafarers. @dmagy's a pro. Bringing in a couple of new folks. in reply to shareski #
@shareski You? in reply to shareski #
@shareski @milobo Sheep are our friends. in reply to shareski #
Baked Brie. Yum. http://twitpic.com/pkbsx #
@Shareski – @milobo's off to a shaky start. Her strategy is all about the sheep. #
The trifle. http://twitpic.com/pl472 #
@shareski Good night for orange. I won, too. in reply to shareski #
Snow. http://twitpic.com/pmlai #
Coffee tastes better after you shovel the driveway and sidewalks. #stuffi'msurerobertfrostwroteapoemabout #
Watching #meetthepress. Wish I wasn't. #
My early shoveling has been rewarded. Driveway's most dry and Ani has been jumping into my snow piles. As she should. #
Ani's making snow castles. http://twitpic.com/png6n http://twitpic.com/png6l #
@jenwagner This snow'll be gone by tomorrow. Colorado sunshine most of the rest of the week. in reply to jenwagner #
.@MrMusselman Kind of you. Thanks! in reply to MrMusselman #
@hrheingold Rather sad, isn't it? in reply to hrheingold #
Enjoying the sunshine and snow combo. Very nice day outside. http://twitpic.com/pnkfp http://twitpic.com/pnkfo #
Frosted. For the moment. http://twitpic.com/pnkr6 #
Blazing a trail. http://twitpic.com/pnkxj #
Where's Ani? http://twitpic.com/pnllw #
Snow angel. http://twitpic.com/pnm34 #
@nlowell Yeah. Quick snow. in reply to nlowell #
Inside and cidered. Now trying to explain the Broncos to Ani. She's not interested, but there're a ball of yarn and a pair of scissors. #
@chrislehmann And the Broncos. Oh. The pain. in reply to chrislehmann #
