The Week in Tweets for 2009-11-22

• 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 #

• @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 #

  Join us for Linda Darling-Hammond webinar. Free, and starting momentarily! http://bit.ly/1Znkmy #edutopiawebinar #

• 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 #

• 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 #

• @plugusin @smartinez Finally? Easier, maybe. Much. But not new. in reply to plugusin #
• @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? #
• @khokanson Alas, no. I'll be headed home on Saturday. But others should. in reply to khokanson #
• @AndreaZellner Wrong. Bad. Danger. in reply to AndreaZellner #
• Renee Hobbs just said that youth media folk can't manage to lobby. Wow. That's not okay. They have to. We have to help them. #nwpdi #
• @hrheingold No required courses. That's absurd. in reply to hrheingold #
• @Empathetics Hard, yes. But that's not a good excuse. Ever. #nwpdi in reply to Empathetics #
• @kjarrett I am. Here til Saturday. in reply to kjarrett #
• @hrheingold I see you challenging a silly Stanford policy. in reply to hrheingold #

• 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 #

• @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. #

• 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. #

• 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. #
• Seems a night for Whitman. http://www.bartleby.com/142/14.html #
• Writers write. http://twitpic.com/q6v3i http://twitpic.com/q6v3j http://twitpic.com/q6v3k #

• Whitman. Again. http://www.bartleby.com/142/14.html http://twitpic.com/q714y #
• Speaking of Whitman, _Leaves of Grass_ was an analog text that was published, then remade, then republished. #somethingsaren'tnew #nwpdi #
• @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 #
• @raysadad my walk through Philadelphia last evening. in reply to raysadad #

• @bengrey Actually, yes. It's two levels down. in reply to bengrey #
• @msstewart pushed back on Twitter being all about me. It is and isn't. http://twitpic.com/q8etf in reply to msstewart #
• 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 #

• RT @bgblogging: Local stories about people, community, future visioning. Interviews, digital storytelling: http://whyherewhynow.org/ #

• Starting our session with Chris Sloan & Paul Allison. Going to be fun. #
• If I tweet from this session, does that mean I'm not paying attention or paying more attention? Or neither of the above? #nwpam09 #

• @amrowley I think @jenniferward did. But I've not had time to dig. Look for the link on the sidebar of the wiki. http://j.mp/4T1HkV in reply to amrowley #
• @AndreaZellner Safe travels. Hope our paths cross again soon. in reply to AndreaZellner #
• RT @joycevalenza: About to present copyright confusion #ncte2009 room106a #
• Taking my daughters to breakfast. #
• @yoopertechgeek And the same to you Have a most excellent day. in reply to yoopertechgeek #
• I'm thinking lots about privacy this morning. #
• I don't think privacy is dead. But I do think we were way overprivatized. #
• @MrChase Pleased to know I'm not the only person who likes that movie. At least, I hope you're talking about the movie. in reply to MrChase #
• RT @ProfessorNana: we have to cross the line of discomfort and let kids do it as well. Crutcher. #ncte #
• RT @ProfessorNana: we cannot control all we want to control. Crutcher. #ncte #
• RT @GardnerCampbell: (I disagree that "it doesn't matter what technology you use"–medium is the message (cont) http://tl.gd/1138d #
• @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 #
• Play Doh. http://twitpic.com/qj7gj #
• 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. #
• @karlfisch Huh. #buti'mnot in reply to karlfisch #
• @karlfisch Don't know. #sleeperagents? in reply to karlfisch #
• RT @MrChase: So here's what I thought / think of Twilight: http://bit.ly/8NShjc (Smart.) #
• @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 #
• Apparently, I'm getting old, as I'm being thrown by a two-hour time change. #self,youarelame #
• @schwier Awfully neighbo(u)rly of you. in reply to schwier #
• @poh Kids these days. in reply to poh #

• @lthumann Do a Google search or two. in reply to lthumann #
• @lthumann @dlaufenberg What is your "Trend Micro?"( in reply to lthumann #
• @lthumann @dlaufenberg Nevermind. Antivirus. Got it. Turn it off. It'll be okay. in reply to lthumann #
• _The Incredibles_. Love this movie. #

• @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 #
• @davecormier Oh.Well.See – I have this book of coupons good for the same thing. Got them from the Constitution Center. So no big deal then. in reply to davecormier #
