The Week in Tweets for 2009-11-22

Stunningly beautiful morning. Crisp and snowy. I literally drove into clouds and back out again. #
Fog's lifting. Going to be a beautiful day. #
RT @skrashen: I do not support the LEARN act. See why: http://bit.ly/45ZD1n #
Sitting in and providing a little tech support for a WorkingShop sponsored by C21L. Should be useful. http://twitpic.com/pref6 #
Our board room is packed full of folks from around the state talking 21st Century Learning. Cool. #
Seems like the important pieces of learning as we're talking today are knowing some facts and being able to connect to and apply them. #
Stevan Kalmon making the point that technology isn't what makes learning "21st Century." And he's right. #
Statement from the room that we want technology to help kids to do things that they couldn't do without technology. (My paraphrase.) #
I don't agree with that. I want technology to help us do the things that we've always valued, but help us do them better. #
@nlowell Well, yeah. There's that. in reply to nlowell #
@nlowell I can get behind that statement. in reply to nlowell #
@brueckj23 Nope. We're doing some norming then headed into school and district based teams to do some planning and thinking. Good model. in reply to brueckj23 #
@brueckj23 The facilitators will, yes. That's the plan. The purpose of the 1st part of the day was simply grounding. in reply to brueckj23 #
@irasocol Yep. in reply to irasocol #
@karlfisch Correct. in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch Mostly. in reply to karlfisch #
"Assessment is how we say we mean it." – Stevan Kalmon #

Headed to Philadelphia tomorrow morning for Digital Is, NWP's Annual Meeting and the NCTE Annual Convention. Lots to learn and think about. #
@nooccar ? in reply to nooccar #
@nooccar Apologies. Didn't know where the thread was going. Go for it. in reply to nooccar #
Huh. @ncte2009 is saying there'll be free wifi in the meeting rooms. Wondering if that's conference wide or just the large sessions. #ncte #
I'm thinking I'm about to be impressed. #
@MrChase See (my) previous tweet. Two previous now. in reply to MrChase #
RT @karlfisch: Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation, 2010 Edition hosted by @ScottElias at Loveland HS in Feb http://bit.ly/1XO499 #
Planning call with @hickstro for our #ncte session. Looking forward to presenting with him again. http://bit.ly/3SE1sT #
#reportsfromcyberspace is a really long hashtag. Any suggestions for a shorter one that isn't lame? #
@gailhd Saturday morning. Hope our paths cross this week. in reply to gailhd #
Just registered for Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation. Will be nice to just go. You coming? http://bit.ly/2HOCoZ #
@garystager I did see it. I could use the certificate. But, alas, I won't be there. Too close to the new baby. in reply to garystager #
@garystager Any chance I could get an online Stager certification? in reply to garystager #
@lesliemaniotes Thanks. Good to see you. Looking forward to the book. Thanks for that, too! in reply to lesliemaniotes #

Watching James Patterson on _Today_. I really dig his passion for getting kids reading, helping them find good books. Important work. #
@learningdonna Not yet. She's due in early February. How're you? in reply to learningdonna #
@sarahpom Kenny wasn't like the other kids. in reply to sarahpom #
@hadleyjf @shellterrell @rliberni Why must there be a difference between "personal" & "professional?" Sweet spot In the middle. #edchat in reply to hadleyjf #
.@DigitalWish @shellterrell Such things aren't "effortless," and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. #edchat in reply to DigitalWish #
RT @SVVSDLibraries: @budtheteacher Check out James Patterson's website http://readkiddoread.com/home (Yep. Great project. – Bud) #
The best "sales job" we can do for any practice of value is to model it openly and honestly. That's enough. #edchat #
@DigitalWish No. But they're hard. And important. Let's not trivialize change. in reply to DigitalWish #
@jonbecker Take good notes. in reply to jonbecker #
@jonbecker That'll work. in reply to jonbecker #
Today's in-flight reading. http://twitpic.com/pvuz9 #

On the ground in Philadelphia. How's Pennsylvania today? #
Friendly greeters in this town. Personal service. I like it. #
@dlaufenberg Nametags. Fun. in reply to dlaufenberg #
Headed to the Digital Is reception. #
This is @zacchase mapping the Internet. With markers. http://twitpic.com/px5cz http://twitpic.com/px5cy #
The final product. http://twitpic.com/px5im #
@dlaufenberg You are missed. But we'll see you soon. in reply to dlaufenberg #
@woscholar Wow. That's flattering. Thanks. in reply to woscholar #
Dinner with @funnymonkey @hickstro @mrchase @yoopergeek @dlaufenberg and special guest @chrislehmann. Not bad at all. #
@jassman8 I'm here until the end of the week. How're things? in reply to jassman8 #
Spending the day at Digital Is. Smart folks looking at the intersection of composition and technology. Should be good. #nwpdi #
@jassman8 I hope to. Not yet sure. Would be good to see you if so. in reply to jassman8 #
"This is now our moment. This is the time to return writing to the game." – @elyseea #nwpdi #
She's talking about the blossoming of rich digital writing environments completely divorced from schools. Time to take them back to school. #
@funnymonkey @chrislehmann I'm fine with both. But she was right. Lots of interesting writing practices sprang forth outside of school. #
@chrislehmann All environments don't have to be for school. But many of them should at least be fair game for student writers. in reply to chrislehmann #
In a session with G Reyes. He started with poetry. I'm in. #
Learning more about Youth Roots work in Oakland. http://www.oaklandleaf.org/html/youthroots.html #nwpdiThinking about learning environments. #
G's suggesting the idea of "critical sense making" rather than "critical thinking." Suggests a struggle and I like the phrase. #
@brueckj23 I like the idea of struggle. Struggles can be good. in reply to brueckj23 #
Lots of digital poems from the Youth Roots folks here: http://www.oaklandleaf.org/html/youthroots.html#Prog #
Good overview of the project. Pardon the image quality. #nwpdi http://twitpic.com/pzrcd #
There's nothing new here, or is there? #nwpdi #
@pkittle @gailhd @joebellino Except that sometimes, it IS about the tech. Like, say, when we are thinking about creating spaces. #nwpdi in reply to pkittle #
@paulallison So we're really working on just improving the file cabinet? (Insert emoticon suggesting joking tone here.) #nwpdi in reply to paulallison #
@paulallison Not sure we need more. As I said on the escalator, we might need fewer. Maybe just one. Composition. #nwpdi in reply to paulallison #
.@brueckj23 Shouldn't it be? Learning is hard. I'm okay with that. Hard things are worth doing and worth doing well. in reply to brueckj23 #
@learningdonna Good line, huh? Thought of OCHS lots this morning. in reply to learningdonna #
Smart conversations this afternoon. I was facilitating, so I didn't feel right tweeting. More later as I get some processing done. #nwpdi #
@milobo It's true. I'm human. in reply to milobo #
@RussGoerend Nah. This is the "what and how should we teach and make with students" conversation. The important one. in reply to RussGoerend #
Okay. I just heard a good reason to use a space like Second Life. Maybe. About time. #nwpdi #
@paulallison Okie dokie. in reply to paulallison #
"Learning ecology" is what @barryjoseph is calling what I'm thinking about when I say "digital ecosystem." Words are hard. #nwpdi #
Here's a link to some writing on the Second Life project I mentioned, and that @funnymonkey's talking about. http://bit.ly/4nMdM0 #nwpdi #
That was a Teen Second Life example, to be specific. #
Discussion of the multiple layers of content working inside Second Life (public chat, IM, voice, images and links). Thoughtful. #nwpdi #
I'm a teacher, and I love Wikipedia. Love it. Love it. Love it. #nwpdi #
Again and again, the really, really interesting work I'm seeing today isn't typically happening IN school – it's happening AFTER. #nwpdi #
@barryjoseph That presentation was most useful. Thanks to you and your team. #nwpdi #
RT @funnymonkey:@budtheteacher @paulallison What is gained (or lost) by creating learning spaces outside of/disconnected from school? #nwpdi #
@funnymonkey That's the question. One of them. #nwpdi in reply to funnymonkey #

@plugusin @chrislehmann We can't motivate kids. They have to motivate themselves. in reply to plugusin #
@elyseea is reminding us that we have to be in the learning ecologies with students helping to understand them together.She's right. #nwpdi #
I'm proofing @chrislehmann's tweets. He's on fire. #
@jonbecker Do a search for Renee Hobbs at Temple and fair use. in reply to jonbecker #
Let's stop fetishizing sites like Facebook. Please? #

Kevin captured lots of important questions in his post about today. http://bit.ly/3nNIpO #
"Culture Follows Structure" by @johncr8on. Yep. http://bit.ly/33n0B #
@bengrey Not a bad thought. What's the plan? in reply to bengrey #
Next up from me – a couple of Tech to Go kiosk sessions at #NCTE – "Twitter Me This" and "Writing Your Self." Might stream those. We'll see. #
Then a round table on blended learning environments and a presentation with @hickstro on Saturday. Should be fun. #
Now that my brain's been dumped, though, I'm off to get some rest. Tomorrow is another day. (That started 8 minutes ago.) #
Sitting in @mrchase's classroom for an observation. Important. #
@jonbecker It's more collegial than administrative. in reply to jonbecker #
Listening to _The Tempest_ audio created by students. Moving quickly in and out of computers, reflective stances, constructive critique. #
Fire drill. #
These items are very important to vocabulary development, says @mrchase. I believe him. http://twitpic.com/q4b9n #
@dlaufenberg We did. You weren't there. But yes. I'll be up. in reply to dlaufenberg #
Yep. http://twitpic.com/q4ugx #
Checking out the layout at #ncte then off to an #nwp reception. Sticky notes to pick up en route. #
Success. http://twitpic.com/q5mwr #
I almost made it there and back without getting caught in the rain. Almost. So close. #
Hanging with my CSUWP friends. Had to come to Philly to see them. #nwpam09 #
Sharon Washington, NWP Executive Director, and me. I'm a fan. #nwpam09 http://twitpic.com/q5xe8 #
@jassman8 To tell you the truth, I didn't notice. Was glad to see you! in reply to jassman8 #
Quick dinner. Catching my breath. Got in a full day of school time at SLA. I needed it. #
Starting the day tomorrow at an NCTE Tech to Go Kiosk. Talking about how we write ourselves online. Identity and digital composition. #
RT @willrich45: Just posetd: "What Does 'Getting It' Mean, Anyway?" http://j.mp/30lmjV (Good question. – Bud) #
@pickledtreats Cool. Please say hi. in reply to pickledtreats #
New comment on this post. Check out the guy's last blog post. http://budtheteacher.com/blog/2009/09/07/the-filter-for-the-moment/#comments #
@dlaufenberg Thanks for letting me crash. Was good. Like I said – I needed a school day. in reply to dlaufenberg #
One question for the kiosk – What are we doing when we label folks based on their online stuff? How is that limiting? Useful? #
Are we more or less than the sum of our digital bits? Are we our analog or our digital selves? Little bit of both? Neither? #
How is composing our digital identity a composition/writing process? Is it a work of fiction or nonfiction? Perhaps memoir? #
RT @courosa: @budtheteacher 'We' are neither analogous to 'ourselves' or the sum of our (digital) bits, both are j (cont) http://tl.gd/10a0h #
@courosa And aren't we all and always engaged in a process of revision of those representations? Or shouldn't we be? Aren't we texts? in reply to courosa #
@courosa @willrich45 But does evolution imply progress? Continue the conversation. Please. in reply to courosa #
Walking in the rain again. It's nice. #
As I walk, I'm reminded that cities, too, are texts. Made and unmade. Always changing. #
Texts http://twitpic.com/q6sj6 http://twitpic.com/q6sj5 http://twitpic.com/q6sj7 http://twitpic.com/q6sj4 http://twitpic.com/q6sja #
Paragraphs in a larger work. http://twitpic.com/q6suz http://twitpic.com/q6sv0 http://twitpic.com/q6sux #
Try to read them from multiple angles and viewpoints when you can. http://twitpic.com/q6t9m http://twitpic.com/q6t9k #
So many stories in every city. Every place. No one will ever be able to read them all. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. #
And we should all sure try to add a few of our own to the mix. There's plenty of writing/building/making to do. #

@courosa @willrich45 I want people to be purposeful. So I'm sticking with revision. Did y'all figure all this out at dinner? in reply to courosa #
@dlnorman Except that we all live in Tehran now. in reply to dlnorman #
@willrich45 Nah. Revision implies that we have some choice in what happens. But not total control. in reply to willrich45 #

Question from the folks here – can Twitter lead you to the deep stuff? #
Sitting in Sharon Washington's session at #nwpam09. Mostly here to listen. #
Hearing that there's a writing project site that serves international
schools in Asia and the Pacific Rim. East Asia Writing Project. Wow. #
What would an all/mostly digital, non-geography based "local" writing project site look like? How might that work? #nwpam09 #
What would an "IT Guy" specific writing project PD event or program look like? Who's helping them learn more about learning? #nwpam09 #
RT @bgblogging: Local stories about people, community, future visioning. Interviews, digital storytelling: http://whyherewhynow.org/ #
@nlowell It implies sameness of place/space/location. But digital places are places/spaces/locations. Right? in reply to nlowell #

@dogtrax No doubt. I'm very happy. in reply to dogtrax #

@davecormier I agree completely. And I think Crutcher does, too. in reply to davecormier #
@yoopertechgeek No. That's what patents are for. in reply to yoopertechgeek #
@yoopertechgeek And patents are broken, too. in reply to yoopertechgeek #
@davecormier One could. Yep. in reply to davecormier #
@yoopertechgeek: Here's one way to find out. (@hickstro can explain.) http://tinyurl.com/ye8zg3g #
@yoopertechgeek I know. Was talking with Troy about that website
Yesterday and saw an opportunity. Couldn't resist. #allingoodfun in reply to yoopertechgeek #
@AndreaZellner Fairies fly, too. And have magic. Excellent to see you and hope to see you again soon. in reply to AndreaZellner #
#ncte Did anyone step up to stream @kylenebeers Presidential Address today? @jenniferward, you still around? #
@wbass3 Stream? Got a webcam? in reply to wbass3 #
@wbass3 Doh. Conundrum – the President wants to stream – and it's not happening. Bummer. in reply to wbass3 #
@karlfisch Agreed. Some big steps this year. More to take next year. in reply to karlfisch #
@gailhd Any chance you're recording? I'd love to hear that presentation later. in reply to gailhd #
@hickstro Good question. I guess "who pays" depends on what one wants done. Consistent Internet is a big deal. in reply to hickstro #
@gailhd Fingers crossed. Thanks! in reply to gailhd #

@iMrsF Was/is that the theme of #ncte this year? in reply to iMrsF #
@msstewart Why two Twitter accounts? Seems unnecessary. #ncte in reply to msstewart #
@iMrsF Stop focusing on it, for one. in reply to iMrsF #
@msncte Gotcha. I'm thinking it didn't work, but I'll look forward to your thoughts. in reply to msncte #

Can't decide if I'll be hanging Christmas lights or writing this afternoon. I like the sound of both. #
Of course, if I do hang lights, of course I'll follow the sacred "not until after Thanksgiving" rule. Unlike one neighbor. #
Of course. #

@davecormier Can something be personal and not imply ownership? in reply to davecormier #
@ChristianLong But they did have wifi throughout the conference. So they're making progress. in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong You think national conference presetations rely on the presence of a data projector? Then bring one. in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong I've not. Yet. But I read this year's – only mention was scorn. And yet the event was tech rich. Perhaps even thoughtful. in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong I don't think it ironic. I think it's just unfortunate. in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong Not you. The 2009 call's only reference to tech was scornful. in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong Do you have a link? in reply to ChristianLong #
@ChristianLong It's a blah call. I'll give you that. in reply to ChristianLong #
@lthumann It's culture. Possibly the culture of the oppressed. But possibly not. in reply to lthumann #

@lthumann In my experience, there's one or two students seeking out proxies and sharing them with others. They get passed around. in reply to lthumann #

@lthumann @dlaufenberg What is your "Trend Micro?"( in reply to lthumann #

@AndreaZellner We watched a preview for _Cars_. I've never seen the ending, but I've watched the first 20 minutes of that movie 547 times. in reply to AndreaZellner #
@karlfisch And how are they? in reply to karlfisch #
@klbz Thanks much! I'll think about what I might say. I've lots of writing to do, I suspect. in reply to klbz #
@dlaufenberg @shareski I see velvet ropes, a card table, and five dollars a ticket to watch. Scrabblecon. in reply to dlaufenberg #

What does one do for one's 15,000th tweetiversary? I'm going to need to know soon. #
@AndreaZellner I'm fairly certain that "saying lots" does not equal "cool." in reply to AndreaZellner #
@davecormier Excellent. So I turn into a snark once I've posted that one then? in reply to davecormier #
@karlfisch Still. Have fun. in reply to karlfisch #
