• @lthumann @matthewktabor This was awkward. But not wrong. Except maybe the response. in reply to lthumann #
• @lthumann I'm not so sure that it was. If you asked him to change his content, it's grey. in reply to lthumann #
• @LParisi But it wasn't. It was awkward. Clumsy. But not ethically wrong. in reply to LParisi #
• @teacherspirit Check my stream. Sleeping baby pics a little while back. in reply to teacherspirit #
• .@LParisi Kind of the equivalent of picking on the kid who wears the funny offbrand jeans. Backwards. But there's plenty to learn here. in reply to LParisi #
• @LParisi @ryanbretag I mean you no harm. But I'm puzzled by this response to an honest attempt to cite and share. in reply to LParisi #
• @mwacker @lparisi @ryanbretag @crafty184 @lthumann Why ask? It's a public stream. But sure. in reply to mwacker #
• @mwacker Ah. My bad. in reply to mwacker #

• Tonight's poem: "In the Beginning" by Ani Hunt. http://twitpic.com/17o3o9 #

• @matthewktabor Been thinking about last evening's exchange. While I agree with you on the seriousness, I can't see how the rhetoric helped. in reply to matthewktabor #
• @msstewart @plugusin Interesting conversation. Check your math on the history of "subjects" English isn't *that* old as a subject. in reply to msstewart #

• @techfacil Glad to hear it. Looking forward to your thoughts in the Ning. #lbc10 in reply to techfacil #
• @lesliemaniotes It's not lurking. I'm using tools that allow for productive eavesdropping. Sounds like a good topic for the Ning. in reply to lesliemaniotes #
• @shareski Looking forward to that portfolio and tool conversation in the Ning. You start it or should I? #lbc10 #
• @lesliemaniotes I'm not sure, either. Go ahead and start up a conversation thread in the Ning. Don't want to lose your ideas here. #lbc10 in reply to lesliemaniotes #
• @shareski Then I'll look forward to it. in reply to shareski #

• @edueyeview You're welcome. Glad it was useful – I'm certain it was useful for our conversations. in reply to edueyeview #
• @milobo @dtitle We were testing the tool as much as having the conversation. Long term, we are hoping to offer (cont) http://tl.gd/fmmqv in reply to milobo #
• Still waiting to hear from you, @edpresssec. You have my number. http://bit.ly/d00ydh Looking forward to the conversation. #
• @johncr8on As best as I can tell, pushing 1,000, but my stats info isn't very accurate. Or current – runs every night. Probably more. #
• Thanks for all the retweets, y'all. I hope each of you that's shared this today has written or called a Congressperson. That'd be cool. #
• Sometime tomorrow, I'm going to again ask my representative's office to help me get an answer from the press office. #
• Give those Congresspeople a call. And a letter. If you're able. I bet you are. http://nwpworks.ning.com/page/join-the-effort #

• Irony: Last night, my dinner was interrupted by an automated call from the Dept. of Ed. They wanted to know how I'd rate their service. #

• Just realized that Sunday is Pi day, an opportunity to ponder that infinity hides in the simple structure of a circle. Paradox abounds. #
• There are mysteries in even the simplest of things. Like circles. #
• @MrChase Sure. Don't diagram to diagram. Diagram to deconstruct language. To explore how words and their placement is important. in reply to MrChase #
• @misterlamb Huh. I had no idea. in reply to misterlamb #
• Why would this book NOT be available as an eBook? http://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/diy_u #
• @misterlamb Wow. in reply to misterlamb #
• @jimgroom It's not going to be an eBook? That doesn't seem very Edupunky. Well, maybe EduPunky Brewster-y. in reply to jimgroom #
• @MrChase Likely. But most acts make more sense in the progression of the purposes that they serve and the exigencies that led to them. in reply to MrChase #

• @learningdonna I thought you should know that bit of information. #
• @anya1anya Hoping you choose an open eBook format. It would be non-edupunk were you to only go Kindle. Thanks! #
• RT @Halpern2ndGrade We learned that asking questions can help you figure out the author's purpose for writing a book. (Important to know.) #
• High school journalists: Get a review copy of Cory Doctorow's upcoming book for your school paper. http://craphound.com/?p=2712 #

• What else would we need to do to make that happen? #
• @mwacker Yep. And shaping. We are filling our bandwidth. in reply to mwacker #
• @bengrey @mwacker Running out of Internet. YouTube is open, but shaped. And out of bandwidth. General "educational use" stuff. in reply to bengrey #
• @bengrey @mwacker Just because we CAN get to Farmville, maybe doesn't mean that we should. in reply to bengrey #
• @bengrey @mwacker Alternative is more flitering. Seems the wrong thing, to filter more. in reply to bengrey #
• @bengrey Long term, probably. But is there an educational opportunity here? in reply to bengrey #
• @PersidaB See my response to @mwacker. Many purposes. in reply to PersidaB #

• @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 #
