- RT @crafty184: @budtheteacher FYI I still run a #backchannel system here. http://www.edublogosphere.com/ #

- You've got an hour, a district's entire media staff, and a title (Beyond the Big Shiny Objects). What do you tell them? #seriousquestion #
- The market for Keynote themes is really quite astounding. #
- @SVVSDLibraries Do a search for @budtheteacher and you will. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- Realizing that much of this talk tomorrow is actually a collection of book talks. I like book talks. Lots. #
- @SVVSDLibraries I know. So do language arts teachers. And geeks. And readers. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- @technolibrary Yeah. Crazy, huh? in reply to technolibrary #
- My message to our media staff today – it's not what you've got, or what you want tiger. It's what you do with what you have. #
- My message to our media staff today – it's not what you've got, or what you want to get. It's what you do with what you have. Simple. True. #
- Today is primary day in Colorado. I voted. You? #

- Teachers who ask students to write darn well better be writing alongside them. #edchat #
- .@Becky_Ellis_ Kids DO have networks. Always have. Why must we dictate them? #edchat in reply to Becky_Ellis_ #
- @wells_eric Yep. #edchat in reply to wells_eric #
- @arttchrhill They do when you dictate tools and connections. #edchat in reply to arttchrhill #
- Seriously.Don't ask students to "create a PLN." Ask them to engage the world. Ask them to be curious.Ask them to be in conversation. #edchat #
- @kylepace I'm saying that the types of things I'm seeing in this chat aren't new. And "make a PLN" is (cont) http://tl.gd/31t0dg in reply to kylepace #
- @kylepace All the more reason, then, to use better language. #edchat in reply to kylepace #

- @mrplough07 Perhaps. in reply to mrplough07 #
- @proe1ement Exactly, neighbor. in reply to proe1ement #
- @graingered Bribe by writing? Huh? No – I'm saying you've got to model what you profess is important. in reply to graingered #
- While I'm on the subject, sometimes the teacher is a perfectly authentic audience for one's writing. #edchat #
- @hshawjr Not at all. Help yourself. Share what you make so it's there for the next folks. Please. in reply to hshawjr #
- @graingered I didn't say good. I said you need to be doing it. in reply to graingered #
- @karlfisch Yeah. Maybe. in reply to karlfisch #
- @graingered You asked if reading good writing was enough. Is say no. It's a piece. But it's not enough. in reply to graingered #
- @_teach4change Yep. Sometimes. in reply to _teach4change #
- @karlfisch You're right. It's brewing. in reply to karlfisch #

- Great district preschool blog: http://blogs.stvrain.k12.co.us/athielke/ #
- Preparing to pitch five years of teacher PD, teacher research and dissemination. Writing is fun. #
- Arguments over semantics are important. Language is important. Terribly, wonderfully, and beautifully important. #
- @injenuity Say more. Not following you. in reply to injenuity #
- @injenuity You think learning is a one-way trip? in reply to injenuity #

- Home. Weekend. Awesome. #
- @willrich45 I wonder why they'd say "date accessed" isn't important in a citation of online content. in reply to willrich45 #
- Weird that Myspace and Facebook are equated with porn. (See tweet in the center of this picture.) http://twitpic.com/2enznf #
- @JenAnsbach @shareski @karlfisch @msstewart Yes. How does homework completion ensure assessment readiness? Let them retake. in reply to JenAnsbach #
- @JenAnsbach @shareski @karlfisch @msstewart It would seem unfair to many others that you allow for unlimited retakes at all. Why do you? in reply to JenAnsbach #
- @JenAnsbach But do you want to punish the students who aren't working? in reply to JenAnsbach #
- @JenAnsbach Didn't mean to be confusing. You mentioned punishment. Was trying to see if that was part of your rationale. in reply to JenAnsbach #
- @JenAnsbach @dlaufenberg I wouldn't say it doesn't matter. Or isn't important. But that it's not about "points." in reply to JenAnsbach #
- @JenAnsbach An "application for a do-over," with those sorts of questions, isn't a bad idea. Adds some investment by the student, too. in reply to JenAnsbach #
- @JenAnsbach So many things aren't fair. But, as Robert Frost reminds us, life goes on. in reply to JenAnsbach #

- @karlfisch There are times for deadlines. And times to move on. My biggest objections to "hoops" are those without purpose or rationale. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch Why is 14 "knife age?" in reply to karlfisch #
- Instead of "technology integration," might we focus on "thoughtfulness integration?" At least for a while? #
- There's the Coffee Party. The Tea Party. I'm thinking I'd like to start the Diet Coke Party. Who's with me? #
- @karlfisch You got it. Give the word and I'll happily intervene. in reply to karlfisch #
- Hmm. Several "Diet Coke Party" people. They're asking serious questions, like "what do we stand (cont) http://tl.gd/34on0t #
- @SLazarOtC Any conclusions you've reached? in reply to SLazarOtC #
- Nephew has meningitis. Viral. He's okay. But Teagan has a fever. And is now at the ER. #justincase #

- @danamhuff @tengrrl I pop into the network a couple of times a month to see who's there. But on my timeline. Not when I'm pinged. in reply to danamhuff #

- Which further reinforces my hunch that those're vastly different places. #
- @MrChase Oh. Wow. That's bold. Certainly not Dolph Lundgren's finest moments. in reply to MrChase #
- @mrchase And you were right – that WAS a useful TED talk. #
- Watching _The IT Crowd_. Several people said I should. #
- @sarahpom It's like _Barney Miller_. But with IT guys instead of policemen. And accents. in reply to sarahpom #
