- Department of Learning Services meeting. Beginning the day with some work on how we communicate with each other. Important. #
- It seems that Colorado's "adoption of Common Core Standards" involved a great deal of copy and paste. And blue. #
- @bengrey Plenty of bad scholarship, too. (I'm not anti-degree. I'm anti-bad degree.) in reply to bengrey #
- RT @: Great article and video of #nwp workshop that introduced 50 teachers to "making" (cont) http://tl.gd/7fpqm6 #
- @danamhuff We could build performance assessments that are celebrations of community. But we usually don't. #engchat in reply to danamhuff #
- Seems I can't be bothered lately to write. Or tweet. That's not good. Hope that's because a writing project's brewing. #fingerscrossed #
- @RdngTeach Quite right. Just didn't even notice I'd stopped for a bit. in reply to RdngTeach #
- @stewartn Thanks much. in reply to stewartn #
- Books were around before the codex. And they will be after, too. #
- I just hope that the PDF isn't long for the world, either. #
- Misleading headline. Interesting article. http://nyti.ms/eWXdM5 #
- Well. This has potential. http://ds106.us/about/ #

- ISTE says hi. And my sessions weren't selected. Aw, shucks. #
- @crafty184 Lecture. Was hoping to talk about our Digital Learning Collaborative work. I suspect I'll find a way. in reply to crafty184 #
- @bengrey @crafty184 You're kind. in reply to bengrey #
- @ijohnpederson What are you writing with it? in reply to ijohnpederson #
- @crafty184 Sure. Or we could host something. in reply to crafty184 #

- Had an evaluation meeting today for a program @milobo and I run. Realized after that we do the work we do (cont) http://tl.gd/7gfd67 #
- We can build from trust. Or from doubt. Trust is better building material. #
- That said, I agree with President Reagan. Trust but verify. #
- @poh Good point. But inquiry and trust go together nicely, too. in reply to poh #
- @poh Hmm. Not doubt so much as wondering. Curiosity. in reply to poh #
- I'll be. One of my ISTE panels made it after all. The secret, it seems, is not to write the proposal. #
- @bengrey You can borrow mine. Don't need it much lately. in reply to bengrey #
- @acarvin Yep. in reply to acarvin #
- Am I the only one who finds it odd that the US Distance Learning Association has no provision for virtual presentation? http://j.mp/fJz68O #
- @woscholar Yeah. They don't have that, either. But seems odd that a distance learning group wouldn't push distance presentations. in reply to woscholar #
- @fceblog It's that, too. in reply to fceblog #
- What I'm working on today. http://bit.ly/dYVzNE #
- Quick look at my license recertification application. Chock full o' contradictory information. That's disappointing. #
- Bonus – it took NCTE all of twenty minutes to officially document my conference participation. For the last five years. Bravo, @NCTE! #
- @karlfisch Yeah. Okay. (Sorry about that.) in reply to karlfisch #
- Paige asks a really good question about the place of reflection on the "school district blog." Hmm. http://bit.ly/goRQ49 #
- Analysis going well. Developed a Delicious coding scheme for each blog post – should be useful. Lots of coding to do, though. #
- @shareski Seems as though ereaders aren't so good at being shared. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Yes. Accounts are personalized. So, therefore, are the devices. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski You could. But somewhere in there, with most of these, you'll read in a terms of service that such sharing is forbidden. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski I wonder if they should be shared or if it's time to explore another way. in reply to shareski #
- Anybody familiar with this: http://www.csmlearn.com/Entrance/index.php Getting a pitch and I'm rather interested. So far. #
- @shareski I'd be looking to systems like Overdrive – share the limited resource on whatever device you've (they've) got. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Not in the district, no. I use it personally with our public library – and I know there are several vendors with such systems. in reply to shareski #

- @shareski Might. Might be better to go after devices and making good friends with your existing content partners. in reply to shareski #
- Useful piece by @paulallison on his and others' work in today's @nytimeslearning blog. That's how you write to learn. With students. #

- @SVVSDLibraries Please say more. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- @ijohnpederson That makes sense. But presentations? in reply to ijohnpederson #
- Apparently, my dreams of Internet stardom and acclaim are over. #
- Congratulations to the 2010 Edublog Award winners. Now back to the teaching and learning work. Right? #
- @ijohnpederson I guess I've no excuse to not dig into a big project with Scrivener, I guess. in reply to ijohnpederson #
- Ms. the Teacher got a wonderfully fragrant bag of holiday blend coffee at school today. Alas, she doesn't drink coffee. #ibelieveicanhelp #
- @ijohnpederson Wait. Scrivener? in reply to ijohnpederson #
- Man. Seriously good coffee. #
- @msstewart I'm not sure that's worthy of praise. in reply to msstewart #
- @msstewart Have you written that piece for Digital Is yet? in reply to msstewart #
- @shareski I don't believe in decaf. in reply to shareski #
- @msstewart The memorial project. Start by describing the project. Then we will talk. in reply to msstewart #
- @msstewart Please. #
- @poh @msstewart I don't believe I mentioned it. Send her a glass? in reply to poh #
- @shareski That may well be. Pilgrim. in reply to shareski #
- @poh @msstewart Thanks. If you think it'll go nicely with some eggnog, I could send that, too. in reply to poh #
- @poh @msstewart Well, yeah. Pretty much until New Year's. in reply to poh #
- I swear. Shiny things make people forget to be thoughtful. #
- @amichetti Nah. You're probably okay. in reply to amichetti #
- Mapping out the next semester. Huh. The days are filling up. #
- Another vendor presentation – Florida Virtual Schools/Pearson. #

- RT @acarvin: Hmm. RT @davidleeking: now @waxpancake says he found the delicious info on twitter & doesn't (cont) http://tl.gd/7hh0a9 #
- Slow down on those "Yahoo is closing Delicious" rumors, folks. Not yet confirmed. Still a rumor. Take a moment to check before you retweet. #
- Mashable "had" to race TechCrunch, etc. to get the "story" out first. Thoughtful educators, (cont) http://tl.gd/7hh19r #
- @Rosylinn And which parents are more available to be involved? in reply to Rosylinn #
- @AndersonGL Um. Assuming that slide was legit. in reply to AndersonGL #
- @msstewart Getting closer. in reply to msstewart #
- @msstewart The update from Yahoo will do, though. in reply to msstewart #
- @msstewart Now, of course, folks who were quick to RT rumor feel vindicated and bad behavior will feel reinforced. in reply to msstewart #
- In the race to offer digital learning, local entities maybe can/should/will have to explore third space opportunities. #
- Appears the Yahoo/Delicious rumor is confirmed. http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/16/is-yahoo-shutting-down-del-icio-us/ #
- @room214 Really? I saw quick RTs of unsubstantiated rumor. in reply to room214 #
- More on third place/space. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place?wasRedirected=true #
- @room214 There's plenty of bad behavior in those sorts of conversations. (Didn't see clarification regarding the (cont) http://tl.gd/7hhd86 in reply to room214 #
- @shareski No. But it happens to me sometimes, too. If you find out, would you share(ski) the answer? in reply to shareski #
- Okay. So Delicious *might* go away. (Anyone think the PR bump will protect it a little while longer?) #
- RT @davewiner: So maybe instead of one central del.icio.us — there will be 1000 decentralized ones. (That'd be the right thing to do.) #
- "It was indeed a lamp." #guessthemovie #
- Pinboard looks pretty good as a Delicious alternative. Price is creeping up, but 3 day refundable if you don't like it. http://pinboard.in #
- Seems to use the full API, so should be a fine tool. Some interesting integrations with Instapaper/Twitter, etc. #

- @russgoerend @jonbecker Are you certain they're shutting down? in reply to russgoerend #
- The Omnibus died in the Senate today. But many people here paid attention to a possible change in a free social bookmarking service instead. #
- Myself included. #
- @ To Pinboard? Look under the "howto" menu there. #
- @russgoerend Nope. It just seems as though it's a certainty. Or that folks believe it to be so. in reply to russgoerend #
- @poh Yeah. We are a third of the way into the fiscal year. No budget. Oops. in reply to poh #

- Last day before a short holiday vacation. Going to pack it full, it seems. #

- @PinboardIN Hang in there and good luck. in reply to PinboardIN #
- Pinboard's registration fee up $1.10 since I signed up yesterday. So they had a busy day yesterday. #
- First snowflakes drifting down. #
- Interesting question from our school board president this morning: What would a digital learning collaborative for school boards look like? #
- Important and good assumption in that question – school board members are learners, too. #
- @techsavvyed Say more. in reply to techsavvyed #
- One advantage of having a Kindergarten teacher as a sister? Getting to drop in later to her class to read a holiday story. #sogood #
- Just read to some Kindergarteners. You know we made sound effects. #sogood #
- Sending off my recertification for my Colorado educator's license. Feels good to have that done. #
- @evernote Any chance you can start remembering where I am in a PDF on the iPad? Dropbox can – and that'd make a brilliant reading feature. in reply to evernote #
- @evernote Oh – and thanks for the holiday gift of double space. Awesome. Can we get you anything? in reply to evernote #
- @evernote Oh – one more thing – could we annotate PDFs with the Evernote app on iPad eventually? That'd be wicked cool. in reply to evernote #

- Or _Die Hard_. That's a holiday classic, right? #
- @imcguy So, yeah. Totally a holiday classic. in reply to imcguy #
- @kellyhines @bengrey Congratulations. Being outnumbered is less difficult than I expected. in reply to kellyhines #
- How does Netflix have _Home Alone 2_ but not the first? #
- @kellyhines I changed diapers at five. They can handle it. (Our three year old is a fine babysitter. For very short intervals.) in reply to kellyhines #
- @bengrey I didn't like the idea. But I like it now. in reply to bengrey #
- Interesting. _Die Hard_ was based on a novel. Who knew? #
- @MsEstep And, it turns out, the book was a sequel to a book made into a movie starring Frank Sinatra. #iwatchmovieswithWikipedia in reply to MsEstep #
