- Good Monday. #
- @brueckj23 @bengrey My daughter is increasingly fond of Ideas. in reply to brueckj23 #
- Promethean Planet is the Slowest. Website. Ever. #
- @nawalnader Yes. Florida Virtual has built a game engine, I believe. in reply to nawalnader #
- @shareski Talk lots about that. Do it some. Share(ski). Soon. in reply to shareski #
- @bengrey @irasocol Ira's right. in reply to bengrey #
- @bengrey @irasocol Reading and writing are input, output and processing tools. Important because of what they enable. in reply to bengrey #
- @bengrey Happy to provide comfort. in reply to bengrey #
- @bengrey Write about AR. Show and tell that story if you can. in reply to bengrey #
- @willrich45 Please? in reply to willrich45 #
- Many very nice people emailed me today. I hope to get back to them tomorrow. #
- @dropoutnation Dewey's useless? in reply to dropoutnation #
- @karlfisch @jackieb Bridging Mathematics time yet? in reply to karlfisch #
- The intersection of "What we should do" and "What we can get done" is a pretty interesting place. #
- @kwbenson I think so. Interesting times. Welcome back. in reply to kwbenson #
- @kwbenson We should talk. When's good tomorrow? in reply to kwbenson #
- @SVVSDLibraries Coffee, yes. Doughnuts, nope. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- Ani's getting some writing in before dinner. http://twitpic.com/1iqsj8 #
- @CurriculumTalk Looking forward to that piece, Kahle. Thanks for the head's up. in reply to CurriculumTalk #
- .@dropoutnation Again I ask. Dewey's useless? #
- @MathEdnet I find such programs intrusive and unnecessary. They assume the worst of kids. We can do better. in reply to MathEdnet #
- @genghiskhanir I don't think drug screening in schools is a good idea, no matter who's doing the recommending. in reply to genghiskhanir #
- @TeachPaperless @mrskmw I'd very much like to see that reading list. What do you lose with that shift? in reply to TeachPaperless #
- @TeachPaperless @mrskmw Excellent. Not asking as a doubter – as an implementer. Deep computer access? Everyone can get to the texts? in reply to TeachPaperless #
- @bengrey @djakes @ryanbretag How's DimDim reliability? Recording is pretty limited. Or am I wrong? in reply to bengrey #
- @jgates513 It fits? Say more. in reply to jgates513 #
- @jgates513 Ah. Boy. in reply to jgates513 #
- Reminder. _Hamlet_ with David Tennant and Sir Patrick Stewart on PBS tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. Available online later. #
- @kwbenson Alas, it doesn't. What's tomorrow morning look like for you? in reply to kwbenson #
- Watching my mom read with my kids. Nothing wrong with that. #
- @j_allen That's not even close to true. in reply to j_allen #
- This article isn't about texting. It's about summarizing. Not new. Still essential. http://bit.ly/cVpmUr #
- @milobo More so. in reply to milobo #
- If you say "summary helps kids to learn poems" no one gets excited. But it's what's happening. #
- If you say "writing to learn helps kids learn poems" no one gets excited. But that's what's happening, too. #
- @SVVSDLibraries You can. Just have to. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- @j_allen Okay. But it's not. Modeling being a learner has nothing to do with social networking. SN can amplify that, but isn't required. in reply to j_allen #
- @beverson Well, since it was a summary exercise, seems like she could do that on paper. Pass some notes. in reply to beverson #
- @milobo Seriously. You're tweeting what I tweeted when I read that intro. in reply to milobo #
- .@Halpern2ndGrade Actually, no. I don't. How DO insects breathe? (What an interesting question.) in reply to Halpern2ndGrade #
- @milobo Not that there's anything wrong with that. #
- @dropoutnation @matthewktabor: Why? Why those adjectives you list? in reply to dropoutnation #
- @dropoutnation @matthewktabor Thank you. I'm still reading the book. Will check out the sources you reference. in reply to dropoutnation #
- @beverson I'm not saying that's THE answer – but it would've worked just fine in that particular case. It's tricky. And important. in reply to beverson #
- @dropoutnation I intend to. Thanks. in reply to dropoutnation #
- Dangerously close to email bankruptcy. #
- @ewanmcintosh Wow. Bring a recording device. in reply to ewanmcintosh #
- @dtitle Really? On what grounds? in reply to dtitle #
- @dtitle Grounds for #edchat to count as PD. in reply to dtitle #
- @dtitle Fair point. But #edchat doesn't seem to be terribly thought-provoking from my point of view. in reply to dtitle #
- @readtoday Because that was more polite than saying asinine. in reply to readtoday #
- @readtoday The concept isn't terrible. But I worry about the content. in reply to readtoday #
- @hpitler Let's go, Rockies. in reply to hpitler #
- @readtoday What point was that? in reply to readtoday #
- @readtoday The right groups and the right activities are fine inquiry supporters. in reply to readtoday #
- Second time today I've seen this. "Kids read better with Kindles." (Nope. They rest better when they annotate.) http://bit.ly/akT9Q7 #
- Need to read the original article. But seriously. #
- @readtoday They do? in reply to readtoday #
- @ssedro Not sure I gave it to you. _Journal of
Adolescent Literacy_. Citation in text I linked. I'll be grabbing it tomorrow. in reply to ssedro # - @dtitle Looks fine – a solid install of EtherPad. I might get interested when subdomains are in play. But Google Docs is now real time. in reply to dtitle #
- @dtitle So I'm pretty happy with that. in reply to dtitle #
- @dtitle True. I like several of the clones. TitanPad looks like someone's doing some work behind the scenes. Cool. in reply to dtitle #
- Last reminder from me – _Hamlet_ tomorrow. Expecting it to be good. http://to.pbs.org/cjQX49 #
- @teacherspirit Yeah. I don't know about that, either. But I want to read the original. in reply to teacherspirit #
- @milobo @nawalnader The web's a text. Of texts. Skill set's similar to dealing with other texts. Might be the same. in reply to milobo #
- @dtitle What's a database but a collection of texts? in reply to dtitle #
- @dtitle Isn't it wonderful? in reply to dtitle #
- I'm hoping the Red Pen Society will forgive my use of the word "fatter" earlier. It just seemed like the right word. #
- @luhoka You're most welcome. in reply to luhoka #
- The last sentence of this article kills me. A new elementary literacy program gets one sentence? One? http://goo.gl/fb/U7Itx #
- Watch out for the forks. http://bit.ly/byMH4l #
- _Converge_ piece on Ning changes. Always have an exit strategy if you care about your data. http://bit.ly/aty57g #
- I am the test case in an Exchange to Gmail migration later today. Wish us luck. #
- I am in migration. Going smoothly. 14,000 some emails moving across. Calendar moved and looking fine. Contacts, too. #
- Distribution groups don't move, but that's okay. I need to revisit those anyway. #
- @ctkennedy Me, too. in reply to ctkennedy #
- @milobo Um. The curriculum committee? in reply to milobo #
- One problem – you put the meeting info into the template. I'll fix it. #
- @milobo Perhaps you could talk about how you might take a text apart to align it to the standards? Or the year at a glance? in reply to milobo #
- @milobo But of course. in reply to milobo #
- Migration's chugging along. Might take a while, but looking good so far. The trick is what happens when the (cont) http://tl.gd/12ggo1 #
- Neat. http://bit.ly/94WskI #
- .@karlfisch @courosa Yep. Love Bluehost. http://bit.ly/cg1f4E (Affiliate link.) in reply to karlfisch #
- Reacquainting myself with teacher researcher ways of thinking. #
- DLC kickoff at Erie Middle School. Pumped. #
- Teagan says she doesn't want to watch _Hamlet_. Which is good, as she's two. But I'm looking forward to it. #
- @jonbecker @bengrey Nah. Bring your own Trapper Keeper isn't. We provide for those that don't have one to bring. in reply to jonbecker #
- @bengrey Who is the "we?" that's a long term goal I have. Make the environment open to personal tech, then get tech to those who need it. in reply to bengrey #
- A book I carried around for two years, every day, has disappeared. And I need it. Badly. #
- @techfacil You're quite welcome. in reply to techfacil #
- @anderscj No. Reason #1 for not stopping to carry that book around. in reply to anderscj #
- @dmagy _Teacher Researchers at Work_. Wondering if it is indeed at my office. Doubt it. in reply to dmagy #
- DLC 1st cohort wrap up for the year. Cool. #
- A work in progress – DLC teams adding tool exploration work onto the draft learning ecology. http://sites.svvsd.org/learningecology #
- Seems like, in this work, I can help folks eat, but they've got to be hungry. How do you help teachers who aren't hungry become so? #
- Unexpected doctor visit for Ms. the Teacher. Apparently, it's important to remain hydrated at all times. #
- Didn't get to give our DLC team a proper "well done!" today. They're about to start another adventure, but did this first one well. #
- I am not making this up: The building we are in is being evacuated due to a "suspicious package." (cont) http://tl.gd/131rr6 #
- A big shoutout to the folks at my digital footprint class, and to @milobo for picking up my slack. Enjoy composing. #
- Still not making this up: While evacuating, we watched two dogs run into four lanes of rush hour traffic. They're okay. #
- They're releasing my wife and detonating the suspicious package. What a Thursday. #
- Thanks, tweeps. We are all okay. Thirsty, but fine. #whataweirdafternoon #
- @techfacil Don't be an advocate for tech. Be an advocate for good practice. in reply to techfacil #
- @techfacil Not saying you don't understand. Suggesting a different frame. in reply to techfacil #
- Tonight's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1jidyq #
- Data mining. http://twitpic.com/1jiuec #
- @garystager @snbeach You haven't already, Gary? in reply to garystager #
- @MrChase Well. There's a Friday question. in reply to MrChase #
- ““Going without media meant, in their world, going without their friends and family.”” http://instapaper.com/zj3nsoyU #
- @MrChase Yeah. Sorry. in reply to MrChase #
- Try very hard to spend time in conversation with smart folks. @suzieboss was my smart person this morning. Thanks, Suzie. #
- @monk51295 @karlfisch Say more. in reply to monk51295 #
- @crafty184 So sorry to disappoint. Come back in June. Please. in reply to crafty184 #
- @monk51295 @karlfisch @snbeach I'm happy to help however I can. in reply to monk51295 #
- So, yeah. That was a Friday. #
- @sarahpom @milobo Sorry I missed it. in reply to sarahpom #
- Soon, there will be Chinese food. And _Glee_. When your district's director of PD says it's a good episode, it's probably a good episode. #
- Today's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1jrtxx #
- Big night. Ani just read me her entire bedtime story. By herself. _Hop on Pop_ is the best book ever. I won't lie. I'm crying a bit. #
- Wow. #
- Magic. #
- I won't have a new prompt up tomorrow. That doesn't mean there can't be poems. Just means you've got to pay attention; prompt yourself. #
- And if you're stuck, here're a few. http://budtheteacher.com/blog/category/poetry/ #
- @Twilliamson15 Can't you switch? That was an available option in ActivStudio 3. in reply to Twilliamson15 #
- Looking forward to another one of those Saturdays. You know the ones I mean. Card game tonight is the only scheduled thing. Awesome. #
- Girls are watching _Mister Rogers' Neighborhood_. As it should be. #
- @davecormier Huh? in reply to davecormier #
- "I think I'll make a snappy new day." #
- @Twilliamson15 Huh. I hadn't noticed it missing because no one here was using it that way. in reply to Twilliamson15 #
- “Find a house for a kidnapping and an alley for a body drop, tour Mulholland Drive, check out a sinkhole…” http://instapaper.com/zZ3psfyS #
- @skydaddy I'm so sorry for your loss. in reply to skydaddy #
- Tonight's moment of Quinn. http://twitpic.com/1k4mvs #
- @PurpleCar You're kind. Thanks. in reply to PurpleCar #
- @ScottElias @crafty184 @bud_t @jonbecker Hey, y'all. Enjoy our fair state, visitors. Sorry I missed you. in reply to ScottElias #
- So, you know, Ani's a reader now. Which is pretty cool and all. #understatement #
