• Beginning a day of meetings in about twenty minutes. Should move quickly. Happy Monday. #
• Looking at the CDE crosswalk comparisons between current and new content standards. Should be interesting. #
• Omen: "Curriculum" is misspelled on every page of this document. Oh, bother. #
• If I'm a technology company, I'm thinking about how to build ad deliver assessments via my devices. #
• If the iPad wants in to schools in a big way, Apple should be sitting in on the assessment work being done in places like Colorado. #
• And states should be looking at device neutral assessment platforms. Can you put the assessments in a browser using non-proprietary stuff? #
• These standards demand multimedia and multimodal assessments. Can we deliver that, or will we be bubbling in computerized circles? #
• @lesliemaniotes Got to read between the lines. How do you assess active listening without something to listen to?analyze a spoken argument? in reply to lesliemaniotes #
• @johncr8on Any chance that'll be recorded? in reply to johncr8on #
• @Ellsbeth Yep. That's also a problem. Big one. in reply to Ellsbeth #
• @SVVSDHD @myrag Thanks, Dan. Keep us posted, y'all. in reply to SVVSDHD #
• @beverson @svvsdhd @myrag Some sort of funky Google-y way of handling
  its traffic. in reply to beverson #
• @ssandifer Most excellent. Mine goes on every nametag. You should post that store link again, in case folks need to stock up. in reply to ssandifer #
• @learningdonna Yeah. Let's talk soon. What's tomorrow morning like for you? in reply to learningdonna #
• @learningdonna I'll be there at eight tomorrow. Will that work? in reply to learningdonna #
• @julierieken Yeah. There's that. But it's a pretty serious app. Or a website. Hmm . . . in reply to julierieken #
• Today's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1abxyq #
• @danbrooksCO @nawalnader @mwacker We are noticing a delay in page loading in some situations. Might involve shaping of YouTube. in reply to danbrooksCO #

• @poh Safe travels. Have a great meeting. in reply to poh #
• @poh Glad to hear that. Going to be ramping up again later in the week. in reply to poh #
• @KyleneBeers I'll be sitting with a second grade class today that uses Twitter to send short updates about their learning to family. in reply to KyleneBeers #
• @KyleneBeers They use Twitter to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Several of our elementary teachers do so. in reply to KyleneBeers #
• @johncr8on Cool. Thanks much. in reply to johncr8on #
• @crafty184 @willrich45 @smartinez @mwacker Ew. in reply to crafty184 #

• Huh. http://blogs.stvrain.k12.co.us/lee5/2010/03/19/techno-thoughts/ #
• @msstewart Right. in reply to msstewart #
• @djakes Grab your iPhone and snap a picture? in reply to djakes #
• @wrtngtchr Can you say more about that? in reply to wrtngtchr #
• @MarkUdall Now that that's done, I wonder if someone in your office would be willing to return one of my several phone calls. Please. in reply to MarkUdall #
• Triple feature today. Sun. Then rain. Now snow. Holy snow. #
• Sitting still. On the interstate. #snow #
• Still sitting still. There is a snowy hill ahead. I am in the Prius. #wishmeluck #
• Home. #whew #
• @johncr8on Thanks. Slow but not too much trouble. Nice to see you as always. in reply to johncr8on #
• @SVVSDLibraries Indeed. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
• Tonight's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1ajiof #
• @csitterley Sure. http://anihunt.com or http://teaganehunt.com in reply to csitterley #
• Snow day. Nice. Paperwork. Not as nice. #
• @dtitle Same to you. in reply to dtitle #
• Thompson and St. Vrain. Is Poudre next? #snowdaysarenevernotfun #
• That's affirmative. Poudre's closed. Bitter irony – Ms. the Teacher's last day of maternity leave is a snow day.#doesnotcount #
• And lo, there was much shoveling. Verily. #
• @SVVSDLibraries Dude. I have one. But this stuff's too wet and I like the exercise. And I did the neighbor's driveway. He's out of town. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
• And, of course, it's still school picture day at preschool. #
• This morning's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1amo26 #
• Today's misused exclamation points. http://j.mp/ct7WxA #
• @injenuity Clear your throat from time
  to time. Or crunch on a particularly dry cracker. It's the little things. in reply to injenuity #
• So _The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo_. Thoughts? Worth a read? #
• Proposal: Moratorium on the word "amazing." Let's get right on that. #
• @JuliaThornton Indeed. It's on. in reply to JuliaThornton #
• The number of folks who've replied stressing the "amazingness" of that proposal is astounding. #
• Best of luck, @mrchase. Have a good trip. http://autodizactic.com/blog/ #
• Watching Quinn discover and understand the mobile. Formative assessment. #
• Watching a baby sleep. Rocking. Back. And. Forth. #
• @shirlbro Look after him, won't you? Have a good trip! in reply to shirlbro #
• So. What're we doing for National Poetry Month this year? Starts in a week. #
• @dlaufenberg Go get 'em. in reply to dlaufenberg #
• @dlaufenberg Sounds like their security is right up there with Disneyworld. If Dopey administers, just walk away. You don't want that. in reply to dlaufenberg #
• @msstewart @samandjt Ask nicely or cite liberally and you're in good shape. Most public policy belongs to the public. in reply to msstewart #
• @technolibrary Got a link to the posting? in reply to technolibrary #
• @AndreaZellner @mrchase Good morning and good luck. Thinking about y'all today, too. Full report later? in reply to AndreaZellner #

• @technolibrary Cool. Thanks for sharing. in reply to technolibrary #
• At home with the girls today. Watching for tweets from NWPers who are up on Capitol Hill. They're doing important work today. #
• Shh. The baby's sleeping. #
• Today's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1audbd #
• It's easier to filter a website than it is to ask a teacher "Why is this happening in your classroom?" But is it better? I vote no. #
• @diemerpatrick Ddnt say they weren't. But we rely too heavily on them. And it is easier to use them than to correct behavior. Not good. in reply to diemerpatrick #
• @diemerpatrick @techsavvyed Let's not use filters to do our jobs for us. in reply to diemerpatrick #
• @beverson You understand that the implications of that are that someone is going to start asking those questions (cont) http://tl.gd/kd87v in reply to beverson #
• @diemerpatrick It's a fight we should always fight. And it's not new. Distractions weren't invented with the Internet. in reply to diemerpatrick #
• .@diemerpatrick No. It's easier. We can see the distractions. If we are willing to look. Can't see into a daydreamer's head. in reply to diemerpatrick #
• Grilling chicken. Yum. http://twitpic.com/1awlxb #
• Sweet. Bonus issues of this month's _Poetry_ in the mail today. #
• @learningdonna Thought of you when I saw this. http://twitpic.com/1ax4nx #
• Two loaves of blueberry bread just came out of the oven. Yum. #
• @ryanbretag Took me a while. I turn it more than I'm supposed to. That works. Well. in reply to ryanbretag #
• Good evening, @edpresssec. Tomorrow will make two weeks since you so kindly accepted my questions. Looking forward to your answers! #
• @CreacherTeacher If I had it, I would. I'll inquire of Ms. the Teacher. in reply to CreacherTeacher #
• "I suspect some things & know a few others & thought I'd like to talk about them with you for a while" is probably a bad presentation title. #
• But I'd really like to give that session. Frequently. #
• @theartguy Kind of you. Thanks. in reply to theartguy #
• @woscholar Something like? in reply to woscholar #
• Turns out _The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo_ is quite good. #
• @AndreaZellner Is that list online? in reply to AndreaZellner #
• @val6dan You're most welcome. Rock on! in reply to val6dan #
• @AndreaZellner That's okay. Thanks for all of your hard work. in reply to AndreaZellner #
• .@alexanderrusso Twitter bomb? Seems to me I'm asking questions. Should I leave that to you? in reply to alexanderrusso #
• A short video update on what we're seeing and what we need from the St. Vrain community regarding our Internet use. http://bit.ly/9buyQt #
• @shareski Thanks much. in reply to shareski #
• @aschmitz I don't believe we do. You're the second person to suggest that today. Thank you. I appreciate that. in reply to aschmitz #
• @monk51295 Bandwidth is important. But "free" isn't free. in reply to monk51295 #
• @karlfisch Not yet. in reply to karlfisch #
• @monk51295 Super – but still not free. in reply to monk51295 #
• @twoodwar What do you need to know? We're WPMU here. in reply to twoodwar #
• @hrheingold I don't suppose a tip jar is the kind of funding you're looking for; I bet you could raise some funds that way. I'd contribute. in reply to hrheingold #
• @hrheingold Let the masses be your patrons. Or something like that. in reply to hrheingold #
• Interesting last comment on this morning's request for input re:bandwidth. http://bit.ly/9buyQt #

• Bonus moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1b58if #
• @edpresssec Thanks. (Can't return the DM. But that sounds good.) #
• Quinn's sleeping in. http://twitpic.com/1b9nnr #
• Coffee. Beignets on order. #
• @SVVSDHD What does that mean for folks like me? Will i notice anything during that process? in reply to SVVSDHD #
• @KarenJan Well, that's a terribly problematic statement. "Works" "good" are both very loaded words. in reply to KarenJan #
• @KarenJan Yeah. That helps. Some. in reply to KarenJan #
• Mike Rose on _Speaking of Faith_. Excellent. #
• "What kind of education befits a democracy?" Important question. #
• January 7th, 2010 _Speaking of Faith_ with Mike Rose. Worth your time. Track it down. #
• @johawke Give that podcast a listen. I suspect you'll find it useful. in reply to johawke #
• Spent the afternoon in the wind and the sunshine. A fine Colorado spring day. Now, tacos with friends. #
• I hope you're stretching your poetry muscles. Daily opportunites to use them are forthcoming. (Everyone has poetry muscles. Even you.) #
• And, of course, daily poetry opportunities abound. Every day. #
• I have learned to fold towels to Ms. the Teacher's specifications. This should give all of us hope; the unachievable has been achieved. #
• @nashworld Skip rigor. Do important and difficult work. in reply to nashworld #
• I love that Ani helps without prompting. I love that Teagan is always looking for the moon. I love that Quinn pays attention. #
• @sjciske Nah. I've been folding towels for years. Just didn't get good at it until this week. in reply to sjciske #
• @elephantsgerald Bingo. in reply to elephantsgerald #
• @ecram3 Congratulations! #
• @nashworld @michael_tuchman http://definr.com/rigor I don't want def. 1 or 3 for children. Do you? Def. 2 isn't bad but not what folks mean. in reply to nashworld #
• Today's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1bn2on #
• Bonus. Full recording of Mike Rose's _Speaking of Faith_ interview is available on their website. Nice. #
• How do you take someone with these footies seriously? http://twitpic.com/1bnzh9 http://twitpic.com/1bnzhg #
