• @sarahpom Not at all. Don't mean to worry you or anyone. in reply to sarahpom #
• @funnymonkey Pipe's filling up. Network guys want to block the stuff they don't like. I think we can teach out way out of this. in reply to funnymonkey #
• @beverson Fewer games. Less noneducational use. All hunches until I see the data. But I know there're problems with current consumption. in reply to beverson #
• @beverson I want the folks teaching and learning with YouTube to be privileged over those killing time. in reply to beverson #
• @bengrey I think data of misuse isn't necessarily an argument for filtering. in reply to bengrey #
• Based solely on page 105 of @dianerav's latest book, she would love the National Writing Project. #
• @csitterley Can you say more about that or point me to some info on what your effort looked like? in reply to csitterley #
• Sat down this morning and made it through the entire _Sunday Denver Post_. Wow. Lots on teacher retention and evaluation. #
• And a fascinating piece on a new published collection of letters to Jackie Kennedy following the death of JFK. Powerful. #
• Why'd they release the ESEA blueprint on a Saturday? Ramping up for the week? #
• .@joebires I don't. Was reading via the nook. But I should've given you enough info to find the articles with a simple search. in reply to joebires #
• Is describing stuff one can find online without providing a link to it a useful way to #belesshelpful @ddmeyer? Seems so. #
• Today's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/18kmz7 #
• @crafty184 @ddmeyer And I do. Search and navigation are important. Inquiry more so. in reply to crafty184 #
• @crafty184 The fact that I'm regularly asked for links to things I talk about suggests to me that it'd be worthwhile to promote the habit. in reply to crafty184 #
• @dendari Nah. That'd've been Friday for Saturday. Saturday for Sunday is odd. in reply to dendari #
• @TheJLV Nah. She's just pretty chill. in reply to TheJLV #
• @crafty184 Not intruding. This is a public space. (Right?) in reply to crafty184 #
• @TheJLV You're doing fine. I figured you just mistyped. #couldn #039;tresist in reply to TheJLV #
• Reading _The Lightining Thief_ because I need a break from grown up things. #
• @ddmeyer @crafty184 Seems like the tease of a good story, if only you can find it, would encourage some digging. in reply to ddmeyer #
• @genghiskhanir Oops. My bad. in reply to genghiskhanir #
• That was _The Lightning Thief_. Forgive the typo. #
• @KarenJan Can you "rent" a book from iTunes? I had no idea. in reply to KarenJan #
• @dendari Yep. I'll be getting a Denver library card for that reason. in reply to dendari #
• @csitterley Much appreciated. in reply to csitterley #
• @SVVSDLibraries I've heard that's good. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
• Sure sign that eBook marketing isn't understood by publishers. I bought the "movie edition" of the eBook. Has a movie poster "cover" jpg. #
• That's the only difference. #
• Why does there need to be a "movie edition" eBook? #
• @techsavvyed Not from the eReader, it's not. in reply to techsavvyed #
• @smeech They called Friday and took down my questions. Expecting an answer in the next week or so. in reply to smeech #
• @zmidler Yeah. I get it on the print version. But the eBook? in reply to zmidler #
• @zmidler Sounds pretty fluffy. What's it mean? in reply to zmidler #
• @courosa Right after the baby comes is when it really gets tough. in reply to courosa #
• Taking a break from Percy and his troubles to skim through _Food Rules_. Overcast sky makes this a perfect reading day. #
• @hrmason It's a very short read. I'm a third of the way through it in about half an hour. in reply to hrmason #
• Bonus moment of Quinn. Bath time. http://twitpic.com/18o06a #
• I have lots of plates to keep spinning tomorrow. But don't we all? #
• Starting the day with some phone calls to Senate offices. Then off to work. You? #
• @msstewart He's right. in reply to msstewart #
