• Good Monday, tweeps. Spending the morning in meetings. Then another one in the afternoon. And some email in the middle. #
• Turns out I like getting a paper on the nook. Just wish it was the Rocky. #
• ISTE tells me that I was wrong. Their "crowdsourced" keynote didn't self-nominate. His father, who nominated him, shares his name. #
• Forgive the error. #
• @msstewart Nah. The loss of advertising did the Rocky in. And bankrupted the group that publishes the _Denver Post_. in reply to msstewart #
• @wmchamberlain I can't say. But it appears that the nomination didn't violate that rule. in reply to wmchamberlain #
• At a Department of Learning Services meeting. Good way to start the week. #
• DIstrict is thinking about ways to "make things visible and discussable" to quote Boss & Krauss. That's good. Lots to do, but movement. #
• @andrea_r @techfacil We are doing some of that. Would be happy to help if I can. in reply to andrea_r #
• Talk turning to budget. Not pretty. Deep breath. #
• Being nice costs nothing and is quite valuable. Been forgetting that lately. Working on it. #

• @courosa: That IS a most important question. in reply to courosa #
• You ever think "Someone's probably going to screw this up. Might as well be me."? #
• @shareski Little bits of content from the classroom is always good. Post stuff monthly – but only make it public weekly. in reply to shareski #
• Flexing a blogging muscle. Read, think, quote, respond. Rinse. Repeat. (Got to work those muscles to keep them working.) #
• Long day ahead. Should be an interesting one. Community Education Expo tonight. Show and tell for schools. #
• Sun seems to be having trouble rising this morning. I guess we all have days like that. #
• @SVVSDHD Well, yeah. It would. in reply to SVVSDHD #
• Huh. Did the Gmail address+ trick never work with WordPress, or is that just now? Trying to cheat my way into some elementary kid accounts. #
• Guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way. #
• At the Longmont Education Expo. Lots of folks here checking out schools. #
• Just got home. Ms. the Teacher showing the girls "Pants on the Ground." On the second showing. #
• Nothing prepares two little kids for baths like a rousing chorus of "Pants on the Ground." #
• @MyraG I view it in FF all the time. What videos are you having trouble with? Podpress turned on? in reply to MyraG #
• @MyraG Whew. in reply to MyraG #
• @techfacil You're welcome. I'll try to give you a call tomorrow to answer your questions. When's a good time? in reply to techfacil #
• Hoping I've got time to get through a couple chapters of Lanier tonight. Interesting book. #
• @MyraG You and me both. in reply to MyraG #
• @khokanson @kpaccio Depends on what you mean by monitor and how many third party services you want to involve. in reply to khokanson #
• Will I be, ahem, crucified when I write a post titled "SLA Isn't the Promised Land, & @chrislehmann Isn't the Messiah?" #
• @karlfisch You know. Those things I used to write. And am trying to write again. in reply to karlfisch #
• @haroldson Grimace isn't scary. The Hamburglar is scary. in reply to haroldson #

• @teach42 Is that a hurdle? in reply to teach42 #
• @teach42 But should Flash be predominant on websites? in reply to teach42 #
• @sharonbetts Nah. Build what should be. Not what is. in reply to sharonbetts #
• @woscholar @teach42 No it doesn't. in reply to woscholar #
• @erhubbell Either way, doesn't matter. Enough. How many do you need at one time? in reply to erhubbell #
• @woscholar YouTube has a Flashless option. Others will catch up. in reply to woscholar #
• @erhubbell But do you take 1500 books on a trip? Will you have wireless along the way? Don't have to take every book with you. in reply to erhubbell #
• @erhubbell Keep most/many in the cloud. in reply to erhubbell #
• @erhubbell I've got a nook. I can grab books from the BN copy of my library whenever I can get a 3G connection. Looking forward to . . . in reply to erhubbell #
• @erhubbell keeping a copy on my server. Changing the way I think of "library." Kind of cool. in reply to erhubbell #
• @markwagner Wow. Didn't waste a lot of time, did you, Mark? Interesting. in reply to markwagner #
• @woscholar We will see. I understand the desire. in reply to woscholar #
• @ahw It's not terribly smart. in reply to ahw #
• The iPad doesn't multitask? Really? #
• Huh. iBooks is interesting. Hopefully some wicked smart content people are dreaming up ways to make digital texts with ePub. #
• But probably not. #
• @woscholar But they have open standards in their favor. in reply to woscholar #
• Doubling exports is good. Yes. But an interesting goal. #
• Oh. Good. More reform. A world class education *is* a noble goal. But RTTP doesn't get us there. #
• Wait. What? Loan forgiveness? #
• @woscholar Typo. RTTT. My bad. in reply to woscholar #
• Those areas ARE the big ones in American spending. If you don't fiddle with those, how do you slow spending? #

• When I grow up, I want to be like @mrchase. Except for the growing up part. #
