- Taking my favorite about-to-be 1st grader to breakfast. #
- Here's the first grader. http://t.co/UGvcTlK #
- Her pancake was epic. The conversation was good, too. http://t.co/75qkgaM #
- @mazinbenny Hope all goes well. in reply to mazinbenny #
- Time for revisions to a piece we wrote a while back. I remember when I regularly waited months from writing something to publishing it. #
- @thekyleguy Why "new"? Why not "really good?" in reply to thekyleguy #
- @ShellyMSims I think waiting usually isn't good. But I may well be wrong. A short break's okay – but months? Man. in reply to ShellyMSims #
- @MaryAnnReilly @willrich45 While I'd agree that "getting harder" shouldn't be the mantra, I find that too often, schools aim low. Too low. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @MaryAnnReilly @willrich45 And students rise – or fall – to the level of expectation set for them. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @MaryAnnReilly @willrich45 Your use of "connected" suggests technological/digital connection. Lack of connection at school is not new. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @MaryAnnReilly @willrich45 Once again, technology amplifies what might be/could should be/might've been/never was. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- "We talked about ants, trees, waves in the ocean, rainbows, and poetry." That's a fine way to spend a day. http://t.co/g5T5ZgS #
- @MaryAnnReilly @pammoran @willrich45 Hmm. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @MaryAnnReilly @pammoran @willrich45 Like I do with statements about the newness of writing with tech – i wonder about newness of connected. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @pammoran @maryannreilly @willrich45 I'm not sure we're in agreement on what "it" actually is. Hence my hmm. in reply to pammoran #
- @CATeachersAssoc Thank you kindly. in reply to CATeachersAssoc #
- @pammoran Good question. in reply to pammoran #
- Tonight, lit review and some data collection. And I might even be a little bit looking forward to it. #
- @msstewart Is it bad that I don't know? in reply to msstewart #
- @msstewart That's a lot of my usual process. This is a tricky text. in reply to msstewart #
- How much longer will every text about blogs have to include the sentence "'Blog' is a portmanteau of 'web' and 'log'?" Not much, I hope. #
- @jonbecker Nah. It's got legs. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker And should that've been a @budthestudent tweet? in reply to jonbecker #
- Be a rental already. http://t.co/bpBhMCy #
- @jonbecker I like Red Laser. in reply to jonbecker #
- @wfryer Well, Skitch will be out shortly for iOS. in reply to wfryer #

- @shareski EST's bunk. That's why. in reply to shareski #

- Some observations and responses on our district's new elementary library. (The one without the Dewey Decimal System.) http://t.co/GtMSIqO #
- @MrMacnology What's the session about? in reply to MrMacnology #
- @MrMacnology Well. Best of luck. in reply to MrMacnology #
- And @MaryAnnReilly writes a pretty solid response. http://t.co/wtUPnOj #
- @MaryAnnReilly Now that I certainly agree with. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @MaryAnnReilly I might've mostly confused myself with my last post. But I continue to wonder about how our "different world" is . . . in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- @MaryAnnReilly . . . is different from the different worlds others found themselves in. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #

- @poh Seeing this when I try to login to NWP Connect. Suggestions? http://t.co/v3GgQ6s #
- @poh Thanks. Sorry. Just trying to login via my NWPi account. Should've been there sooner – but I'm slow. in reply to poh #
- @poh Oh, I know. But I really should've been in that space before now. So my apologies. And thanks. in reply to poh #
- @poh Masters. I long ago abandoned my thesis. Coursework finished forever. It's time to finish. in reply to poh #

- @jonbecker What @shareski said. What do you want them to be doing? Then do that. And talk about why. in reply to jonbecker #
- @poh Unfortunately, that's not working. Tried on two different machines – go from http://t.co/oRi9vJ5 -enter info. Then I get the error. in reply to poh #
- @poh No problem. I'll check later today and see if it's a network issue. in reply to poh #
- @poh Mostly the same. And I checked again to snap it – and now it's working. in reply to poh #
- @poh Any advice for the iOS app? Username not recognized. in reply to poh #
- @poh Ah. Problem solved. Thanks Paul. Appreciate the help. in reply to poh #

- @Brittany__Wall What's a learning style? Why are they important? in reply to Brittany__Wall #
- @Brittany__Wall Is that true? How do you know? How might you, or a student, demonstrate that if it were the case? in reply to Brittany__Wall #
- @Brittany__Wall The data's beyond mixed – suggests there's no advantage to teaching to "style." in reply to Brittany__Wall #
- @Brittany__Wall That said, still – looks to me like having the students demonstrate their "style" would be more useful than a quiz. in reply to Brittany__Wall #
- @Brittany__Wall Possibly still malpractice. in reply to Brittany__Wall #
- Is it okay for me to invest in companies that sell products to schools? Seems problematic. And yet – look at online education. Hmm. #
- Seems that the providers and the purchasers are horribly horribly muddled. #

- Oh. Today's Google Doodle is Borges. Cool. #
- Spotify returned obscure Lisa Loeb tracks to me. So that's something. #
- "I'll stop crying on the mountain that we made of the molehill where we spilled the milk." – L. Loeb. That's just one heck of a line. #

- “Is it possible to be gently radical?” asks @cindy_oa in http://t.co/rqBZzhc. I'd really like to know her answer. And yours, too. #

- @John_Merrow Thank you for the interview w/ Sec. Duncan. That was well done. #
- Learned more than I wanted to about obscurer Google services. We're flipping some switches on our Apps accounts – opening things up. #
- @andrea_r If I took an existing blog installed into a subfolder and converted it to multisite, would that be bad? #
- @andrea_r So the "older than a month" issue in the codex is no longer the case? Want to consolidate half a dozen blogs on my main site. in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Everything's in one subfolder. http://t.co/eST7Jn0 in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Nothing. But maybe one day I'll want something in there. Right? in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Unless you're about to tell me that by going root I can preserve all the links to the existing blog. in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Aw, nuts. You're right. Okay. Deep breath. It'll preserve old links, right? Export the old into a new blog called, cleverly, in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r "blog"? in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Hmm. Say more. in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r You lost me at page template. in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Took a look at yours. So you're pumping the blog through a template. How? in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r Thanks. in reply to andrea_r #
- @andrea_r So the blog lives at root but old links work? in reply to andrea_r #

- @russgoerend Poetry Wednesdays sounds great. Tell your students I'm looking forward to seeing their poems. in reply to russgoerend #
- Crock pot. Pork shoulder. Slow cooking ahead. #
- @mctownsley @jonbecker Accreditation is the remaining difference. Good universities have partnerships with districts, which can be a plus. in reply to mctownsley #
- @mctownsley @jonbecker PD credit is doable, but requires a process in every district to document and approve. in reply to mctownsley #
- @EmergentMath Seems problematic to run a stream full time, though. This is a pretty useful tool. http://t.co/vSdhFqD in reply to EmergentMath #
- Yes. http://t.co/8TeAI7Y #
- @EmergentMath Hopefully. But I've seen others think that it's all or nothing. I think that's a terrible idea. Intentional and regular, sure. in reply to EmergentMath #
- @EmergentMath I think most lesson study protocols are my favorites – but they involve more than observation. in reply to EmergentMath #
- @EmergentMath I'm a big fan of spending regular time in and conversation with teammates. in reply to EmergentMath #
- @EmergentMath There are some good lesson observation videos in Teaching Channel – lessons paired with commentary. I like it. in reply to EmergentMath #
- @russgoerend How about the Constitution? Does your state constitution have any language about education as a right? in reply to russgoerend #
- @russgoerend And I meant your state constuitution – not the Constitution. Oops. #
- @msstewart Possibly so. in reply to msstewart #
- @msstewart Likely. But it's an open question in Colorado and other states right now. http://t.co/o1MzST2 in reply to msstewart #

- @techfacil Wait. Doesn't export links? Links to what? in reply to techfacil #
- @techfacil Oh. Yeah. I've never used local blogrolls. Always tied blogroll to readers. More fluid. in reply to techfacil #
- @techfacil @karlfisch I can't say. We aren't using Blogger, but are exploring the possibility. Still like WP. in reply to techfacil #
- @techfacil @karlfisch Yeah. It's sticky. How is it different from an employee leaving a company? Wondering out loud. in reply to techfacil #
- @techfacil No, but other links are better as HTML in a widget. Easy to move. WP links are wonky and best ignored. in reply to techfacil #
- @techfacil @karlfisch Tricky when that work was done for hire and belongs, at least in part, to the employer. in reply to techfacil #
