• Spending the day in a district learning services retreat. Looking at data from this year's initiatives. Good to dig in. #
• Looking at Colorado's new accreditation model. Going to be different. Might be good. Depends on how they assess postsecondary readiness. #
• Talking about common instructional practices in the district. #
• Wondering what you use for long term collection of notes about what you encounter in your practice. Do you keep a teaching journal? #
• @RickTanski No government moves that fast. in reply to RickTanski #
• Either I asked at a bad time, or we aren't keeping teaching journals. Are you keeping one? What's it look like? #
• @MaryRMoran Sure. Keep one? What's it look like? in reply to MaryRMoran #
• @msstewart Should any teachers have that excuse? in reply to msstewart #
• @msstewart Say more. in reply to msstewart #
• @dlaufenberg I'm wondering that, too. I think I'd say it needs to be constructed, composed. in reply to dlaufenberg #
• @msstewart Ah. Gotcha. And agreed. in reply to msstewart #
• @funnymonkey Yes. It can and could and maybe should. My evernote account is becoming a big piece of mine. in reply to funnymonkey #
• @RickTanski Oh, really? in reply to RickTanski #
• @dlaufenberg Composition requires thinking. Even a structured conversation is a good way to do so. in reply to dlaufenberg #
• @shareski @dlaufenberg Always? Nah. More so than it is? Yeah. in reply to shareski #
• @msstewart Were you? I meant no offense. in reply to msstewart #
• Common Core aren't even close to "noticeably similar" to Colorado's new standards. But CDE says otherwise. http://twitpic.com/1qp72b #
• @funnymonkey Staging ground. Yep. But also dumping ground for pieces that might emerge. in reply to funnymonkey #
• @msstewart Sorry 'bout that. in reply to msstewart #
• @ryanbretag Say more. Sounds interesting. in reply to ryanbretag #
• @finleyt I think most of those. Hard, though, to recover the thinking in the car, and maybe the conversation, unless it's recorded. in reply to finleyt #
• @taleese Why not? in reply to taleese #
• @SVVSDLibraries @milobo Hey. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
• @dlaufenberg I don't know. But perhaps. The conversation is a composition of sorts. in reply to dlaufenberg #
• Lawn mown. Sprinklers sprinkling. #
• Looking forward to a day of Writing 1.0 in St. Louis next month. See you there? http://bit.ly/9eY8OE #
• @ehelfant Me, too. I suspect I'll learn plenty. Thanks! #
• @mcleod Great book, isn't it? in reply to mcleod #
• @JSW_EdTech To my knowledge, no. But I'd teach it if I were in a high school classroom right now. And I taught novels. in reply to JSW_EdTech #
• Snared by a late night _Cosby Show_ rerun. #
• @ewanmcintosh @ecram3 Same question, Marcie. And good luck. in reply to ewanmcintosh #
• If you were going to build a high school math textbook, what resources might you start with? #
• Great suggestions, y'all. Keep them coming. #
• @mmiller7571 Hmm. Have you contacted the filter folks? Either your district admin or the company itself? in reply to mmiller7571 #
• @funnymonkey If we get that far, yes. I'm hoping this will be a remix project. If it happens. in reply to funnymonkey #
• @mmiller7571 I'd start with them. How do you know the filter is the problem? in reply to mmiller7571 #
• @aschmitz No post yet. Brainstorming to see if this is possible. New standards – old book. They don't match. in reply to aschmitz #
• Colleague asked me if there's a delicious-ish service where you can date something for future e-mail to yourself. Ideas? #
• @MrChase Yes. And Yes. in reply to MrChase #
• @vtdeacon He'd like to tag resources for a lesson to be sent to himself at a date in the future. in reply to vtdeacon #
• @mikesmactweets @karlfisch He's looking for a Delicious tag that will serve as the hook that creates the reminder – in reply to mikesmactweets #
• .@mikesmactweets @karlfisch So tagging a link "May 25th" or "5/25/10" will generate a notification on that date. Make sense? in reply to mikesmactweets #
• @raffelsol For that, try http://futureme.org in reply to raffelsol #
• @jonbecker Keep doing that. I'm trying to, also. in reply to jonbecker #
• Hum. So GoodReader, as an iPad app, is pretty darn powerful. Wow. #
• @funnymonkey If we go there, we'll talk lots. in reply to funnymonkey #
• @karlfisch Yep. And I've suggested such. in reply to karlfisch #
• @pgoerner Wow. High fives and congratulations all around. in reply to pgoerner #

• @villagegreen Not a bad idea. But maybe a little bit complex for my purpose here. For now. in reply to villagegreen #
• So I'd say to Downes that even personal knowledge is nested within the influence of others. And that's what I'm thinking about. #
• @MyraG Played with Goodreader yet? #svipad in reply to MyraG #
• @Downes I'm fine with that statement. in reply to Downes #
• @Downes I think we overlook the influence of others, particularly at (K12) school. in reply to Downes #
• @Downes Really appreciated/ am appreciating the transcript of your Buenos Aires talk. Thanks. in reply to Downes #
• @GaryBrannigan What research? in reply to GaryBrannigan #
