- Not sure I understand the motive behind mean spam. Odd. http://t.co/hYZOgz1 #
- We are looking for an instructional technology coordinator in St. Vrain. Come join us. http://t.co/eRfjeAa #
- @ChrisVacek Fixed. in reply to ChrisVacek #
- @sjciske Yep. Growing the team. in reply to sjciske #
- @sjciske Nope. Additional position available. in reply to sjciske #
- @JaneEspenson I thought I was the only person who did that. Word, indeed. in reply to JaneEspenson #
- @kfasimpaur I don't know that you could prior to today. in reply to kfasimpaur #
- Interesting. http://t.co/wyAcldx #
- @kfasimpaur That's great. in reply to kfasimpaur #
- Draft I'm collaborating on just hit version 4.0. Good thing we only counted the major iterations. #
- Doing something I only do when I'm getting really serious with a text and need to look at it differently. Yep. I'm printing it. #
- @speters http://t.co/LAbE9bB Look at the EHC policies for ours. in reply to speters #
- @kishizuka It's true – but over the last few years, I've been moving away – used to always proofread with paper – less so now. in reply to kishizuka #
- @mrami2 @clix Amen. Writing is a struggle. Pretending otherwise disserves our students. And ourselves. #engchat in reply to mrami2 #
- @TeachMoore @zephoria Nor do parents need what that legislation would provide. in reply to TeachMoore #
- @bonstewart I am sorry for your loss. But not your telling of it. For that I am grateful. Thank you. in reply to bonstewart #
- @karlfisch @ddmeyer Who are the other nineteen you sent it to? Wouldn't want to duplicate. in reply to karlfisch #
- @mramidon @karlfisch Possibly. What can I do for you? in reply to mramidon #
- @mramidon @karlfisch I'd be happy to speak through those questions with y'all – time's tight this week, though. in reply to mramidon #
- @thenerdyteacher @edpresssec I don't approve of assailing, either – but engaging in conversation isn't a bad thing. in reply to thenerdyteacher #
- @speters You're most welcome. in reply to speters #
- So the nook App on the MacBook Air is a surprisingly pleasant way to read and annotate. #
- Planning our Gmail/Google Calendar coursework for the summer w/ @milobo. Luckily, it's mostly online already. Just need to customize. #
- @shareski No. It's a platform. in reply to shareski #
- Interesting contrast between Scholastic's response and the American Coal Foundation's. http://t.co/ChBstyZ #
- I'm digging _The Information._ Savoring it slowly. Here's a good peek at the book. http://t.co/RyOYLUp #
- @shareski Aha. You're on to something. You can develop games for platforms. Stories, too. Legos (the company) does both. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Sometimes, building the thing on the box is more of a puzzle than a game. The Imperial Star Destroyer comes to mind. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Sometimes, the thing on the box is an invitation to creative story play. Lego is a powerful platform. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Is "assembly" a game? A puzzle? Not sure – but the thing on the box gets really interesting after you make it. What is it then? in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Art? Toy? Prize? (Wicked powerful platform.) in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Yep. Platforms. in reply to shareski #
- @bhwilkoff @shareski Sure. But they'e both both of those things – Legoland, anyone? in reply to bhwilkoff #
- @bhwilkoff @shareski Not everyone makes things that aren't in the instruction book, either. in reply to bhwilkoff #
- @bhwilkoff @shareski (Failure of imagination isn't failure of the platform. Hmm. Maybe that's not true.) in reply to bhwilkoff #
- @bhwilkoff @shareski And, yeah. Legoland was a throwaway. in reply to bhwilkoff #
- @dogtrax Wicked good, huh? in reply to dogtrax #
- @dogtrax I"m only about a third in – I'll watch out for stickiness. in reply to dogtrax #
- @shareski @briancsmith Sounds like a fine event. Alas. So far away. in reply to shareski #
- @notperfect Um. Congratulations? in reply to notperfect #
- @twoodwar What an interesting document. Learning community is apparently very important. in reply to twoodwar #
- Two days of learning about our new media distribution system starts right now. #
- Our new platform is MediaCAST by http://t.co/UP2bt7J #
- @classroom_tech Why? in reply to classroom_tech #
- @classroom_tech Say more. We are in setup mode – would love to learn from you as to what doesn't work. in reply to classroom_tech #
- @classroom_tech Good to know. I'm taking notes and asking questions. in reply to classroom_tech #
- @classroom_tech So you've not given students access to view content on their own? I'm thinking we'll be doing that to some degree. in reply to classroom_tech #
- @mc_lewis @classroom_tech I don't hate what I'm seeing right now – and was impressed with the sales presentation. Not in love with the UI. in reply to mc_lewis #
- @mcleod @russgoerend Seems to me that if you've given reasonable opportunity and it's not been taken, you move on. in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod @russgoerend Are you perhaps exploring the bounds of "reasonable"? in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod @russgoerend Even "fix the learning task" seems suspect. Aim for good experiences – in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod @russgoerend but if you're certain the task is worth doing, and it's not done, don't lose sleep over it. in reply to mcleod #
- @techsavvyed Or the brand new hardware we just puchased comes with an 8 year old OS? Hmm. Having a day here, too. in reply to techsavvyed #
- @russgoerend Yes. But at the point where you've done what you can, it has to stop being your "problem." in reply to russgoerend #
- @russgoerend If a student won't own it, the teacher shouldn't take ownership of it, in most cases. in reply to russgoerend #
- @shareski Teachers, in general, do too little reading and writing, too little making of things. Discuss. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Makes me sad. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Fair enough. Here's another one: "educational games" aren't compelling or good learning experiences. in reply to shareski #
- Anybody who thinks students can't handle complex and multi-threaded texts haven't spent much time with a _Magic School Bus_ text lately. #
- Now "learning" how to encode media. Whee. #
- It's raining. It's pouring. You know. #
- @mwacker @scottelias @crafty184 The beard'll play. I haven't a Suburu, either. in reply to mwacker #
- @malpezzim Huh. Why? in reply to malpezzim #
- Clever. http://t.co/RpAYEcm #
- Day 2 of MediaCAST training to start shortly. #
- @funnymonkey @pickledtreats Why? I kind of like 7. in reply to funnymonkey #
- @funnymonkey For lots of our users, those are features. in reply to funnymonkey #
- @funnymonkey Just a little, huh? in reply to funnymonkey #
- @mbteach Bluecoat. We like it okay. in reply to mbteach #
- @hpitler Happy anniversary! in reply to hpitler #
- @malpezzim Yeah. I'm thinking iPads for Kindergarten don't make sense as 1:1. As stations/centers? Sure. in reply to malpezzim #
- Watching end of year DLC movies at Prairie Ridge Elementary School. Celebrating a year of learning. #
- People who spend lots of time taking credit for a unique "invention" that isn't are usually not making interesting things anyway. #
- Soon, there will be time to sit still and watch _Survivor_. I have managed to keep the ending a surprise all week. #
- @willrich45 Writing's rarely just about the writing. in reply to willrich45 #
- @JackieB Go get 'em. in reply to JackieB #
- Looking at wireframes of our possible future school and district websites. Interesting. #
- @fallapart Nope. Are we doing it wrong? in reply to fallapart #
- Had a nice visit with @ijohnpederson and @juliafallon at #shiftedlearning this morning. Thanks, y'all. That was fun. #
- This afternoon is brought to you by coffee. It's not just for breakfast. #
- Goldfinger + email + Friday afternoon = productivity machine. #
- _Mister Rogers'_ marathon. And pizza. Best. Family. Night. Ever. #
- Reeder for Mac now supports subscription management. Really fine piece of software. I'm thinking I'll be paying for it if they ever let me. #
- Just because we could doesn't mean that we should. http://t.co/cc1Abko #
- @rightingteacher Oh, good. So just easy questions after dinner. in reply to rightingteacher #
- @msstewart Oddly enough, me, too. Try again? in reply to msstewart #
- Fiddling with the blog tonight. Wondering about asides – and why they're so funky. Think they could be a useful content type. #
- I'm trying to write about the silliness in this document. And can't calm down long enough to do so. http://t.co/GU5Fx3C #
- @hickstro Excellent questions. And I say probably not. in reply to hickstro #
- @hickstro @irasocol #cwcon Yeah. Sounds fascinating. Wish I were there. in reply to hickstro #
- @irasocol @hickstro I'd humbly offer this piece as my argument. It's dated, but the gist is still there. http://t.co/7gI4Mbe in reply to irasocol #
- @MsPoodry You give them a written rationale. And you follow software adoption processes. And you being chocolate. in reply to MsPoodry #
- @lmsahistory That's ironic. in reply to lmsahistory #
- Have been checking in on #edcamp tweets off & on today. Still waiting for the useful bits. What'd I miss? Worth your time to go to #edcamp #
- I see plenty of statements regarding the awesomeness of #edcamp and plenty of smart people involved, but no steak to match the sizzle. #
- Is the lack of evidence a limitation of Twitter, or of me, or of the event? #genuinelycuriousandwonderingsadihavetotagassuch #
- @injenuity True. But one that so often seem to be about the "power of Twitter" should transcend, I suppose. in reply to injenuity #
- @lpahomov Fair enough. in reply to lpahomov #
- @HHG I don't mind a place for conversation. I do mind it taking the place of an actual professional learning progression if it's not one. in reply to HHG #
- @HHG AFTER would be my area of concern, I suspect. in reply to HHG #
- Lots of DM responses. Few public ones to my #edcamp query. Interesting. #
- @HHG Experience what before recreating what? in reply to HHG #
- @HHG Name some specific events. If you're able, please. in reply to HHG #
- @HHG More events isn't necessarily a good metric. Particularly if they're bad events. in reply to HHG #
- @MsBuell Glad to hear. What'd it help with? in reply to MsBuell #
- @lblanken That may well be a good sign. Thanks. in reply to lblanken #
- @russgoerend I'm not sure. But I usually get accused of hating so I'm tying to head that off. I hate very little. in reply to russgoerend #
- Got to light the grill, but still interested in the conversation. Thanks for your responses on # tweeps. #
- @MsBuell @lblanken True. What's the best collaborative text produced during the day? in reply to MsBuell #
- @HHG Yeah. I'm with you on the expertise from internal sources. That's worked well here. in reply to HHG #
- Chicken's almost ready. Fondue's close, too. #springfeastinfortcollins #
- @danamhuff Is it awesome? I've been saving it. in reply to danamhuff #
- @danamhuff Nuts. in reply to danamhuff #
- @aleaness I question the value of most things. Even the things I think are useful. Especially those. Questioning is good. in reply to aleaness #
- @kjarrett @russgoerend Thanks, Kevin. Good event yesterday? in reply to kjarrett #
- @aleaness Whose questions were negatively phrased? in reply to aleaness #
- @aleaness I meant no ill will. And still don't. But don't regret my word choice. There's plenty of sizzle. Hoping there's meat. in reply to aleaness #
- This week's _On the Media_ has some useful thoughts on the overuse of data. Worth your time. #
- @mritzius Lots of noise without substance. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius Huh. Can't say I agree with that. Content and purpose matter. So does conversation. All important. in reply to mritzius #
- Ticket to Ride now available for iPad. Oh, bother. There went Sunday afternoon. #
- @mazinbenny I'm not good at Words with Friends. But can pretend I'm good at Ticket. Problem. in reply to mazinbenny #
- @Clane At least I mowed first. That counts for something, I suspect. in reply to Clane #
- @mritzius @steelepierce I don't think you're all wrong about conferences. But I think the magic's in middle – good folks AND good content. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius @steelepierce I think many conferences swing too far one way. I wonder if # and similar events swing too far the other way. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius @steelepierce I say that not as a "hater," but as someone who has organized these sorts of events and who finds value in them. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius No. You've assumed that. The statement arose from my not seeing evidence beyond statements of wonder and excitement. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius I see lots of "sizzle"= statements of awesomeness but little "steak"= evidence/articulation. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius And that makes me wonder. And when I wonder about things, I ask questions. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius Seems plenty of people assume that questioning something implies complete disdain or disinterest. It does not. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius When did I do so? in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius That's not quite what I said. I said this: http://t.co/zMNousF in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius If I'd wanted to say they were vacuous, I'd've said so. in reply to mritzius #
- Oh. Look. A windmill. <tilt> #
- @mritzius I mean what I said. I went looking for something that communicated the experience – and found what I saw lacking. I then asked . . in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius . for some clarification. Was I offbase? Was Twitter the wrong place to look (certainly was). What was I missing? And have since . in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius been labeled some sort of attacker. in reply to mritzius #
- @mritzius Okay. And I disagree. I'm not trying to assume that it's something it isn't. I think I'm just hopeful for more than there is. in reply to mritzius #
- @injenuity But I've got to try. in reply to injenuity #
- @mritzius No. But when folks hold up, as was to me, a Google Doc with three uncontextualized links, as a fine and shining example, I worry. in reply to mritzius #
- @mbteach @mritzius I'm sorry if the tone of a tweet seems harsh. There are only so many characters. Rah rahs go better with Twitter. in reply to mbteach #
- @mbteach @mritzius I try to choose my words carefully and intentionally. And I ask that folks not read into them what isn't there. in reply to mbteach #
- @andycinek Yep. Which is why I sought clarification. in reply to andycinek #
- @andycinek I've run similar events and worry about them. Which is why I asked what I did. I support the idea. And wonder if it's useful. in reply to andycinek #
- @andycinek "You had to be there," is an inadequate response to events where the power of "anywhere and everywhere" learning is argued. in reply to andycinek #
- @mritzius @andycinek Seems to me that you go where the talking is if you're wondering about what's being said. in reply to mritzius #
- #edcamp I honor what you're trying to do – to bring folks together to do some learning. I support that. Neat model. #
- But, #edcamp asking questions isn't blasphemy. Or an assault. If questioning isn't welcomed, then I wonder about the learning. #
- @andycinek I suspect you're right. And that's horrible. in reply to andycinek #
- @injenuity Oops. in reply to injenuity #
- Teach math as "an adventure game." I like it. http://t.co/oT1tpFP #
- @mritzius Sorry. Missed this question. I've started and run a similar event here in Colorado. Been to plenty of unconferences. in reply to mritzius #
- @msstewart @samandjt Cool. There's something. Best of luck. in reply to msstewart #
- @russgoerend Plays well except there's no local multiplayer mode. Hoping that changes soon. in reply to russgoerend #
