- Rain. #
- So @stevehargadon and @audreywatters are doing a weekly podcast? Cool. #
- Looking forward to tomorrow's 3:30pm MST webinar w/ @ricktanski and Michael Arsenault on building their online school. http://t.co/JGD8a2EK #
- I wouldn't mind if 90% of schooling was, in fact, language arts. If it was good language arts. @garystager #
- @emergentmath That's a good question. in reply to emergentmath #
- @garystager @jonbecker It was a good talk. in reply to garystager #
- @shareski Google Docs, as a day to day collection, is a good start. Perhaps a site for final collecting/curating/annotating. in reply to shareski #
- @jonbecker For the thesis, I used a Google Form/Spreadsheet for collection and coding and then dumped into Excel for some crunching. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Yeah. Built my codes as pull down for only one and checkboxes for multiples. Space for quotes and comments. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Was weak for the textual analysis, but it gave me coded snippets for commentary that were semi-searchable. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Can show the form if you'd like. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker 230 or so. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker DMed it. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Oh. Whoops. Thought it was public. Fixing. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Try it now. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker @courosa I was the only one who needed it before. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Sure. I was pleasantly surprised with myself on that one. Forms are great data collection tools. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker @courosa True. But in this case, I find that a form is a fine self-organizer. And if I messed up, was easy to update & add codes. in reply to jonbecker #
- Yeah. You've still got to *decide* to read. Important. http://t.co/wx5oPpc1 #
- I am very good at deciding to read something later. The important bit, though, is finding the later. #
- @teachingwthsoul I've a huge notebook in Evernote called "To Read." And another called "Read." Guess which one is more full? in reply to teachingwthsoul #
- @hintbw It exists if we decide to make time for it. in reply to hintbw #
- I always thought reading and writing were good vocabulary builders. #engchat #
- Little writers. http://t.co/SMRO356m #
- The older children were a little more abstract. http://t.co/8Urz46E5 #
- @millerjtx Huh. in reply to millerjtx #
- If you use an exclamation point at the end of every sentence you use too many! Seriously! Help me! I can't stop! #
- When everything's an exclamation, nothing is! Truly! #
- @jonbecker Flame fiend. in reply to jonbecker #
- @MaryAnnReilly For sure. in reply to MaryAnnReilly #
- Do we call classrooms "Bring Your Own Pencil" spaces? #
- (Certainly not on test days. We always have enough pencils on test days.) #
- @TeachLearnLive Surely there are ways to play with core instruction? in reply to TeachLearnLive #
- While we are talking punctuation, note how the missing comma causes a most unfortunate reading of an unfortunate word. http://t.co/uv1ZRjHN #
- @diemerpatrick Featured tweet. Was compelled to read the full tweet. in reply to diemerpatrick #
- @AndreaZellner Yep. All that advanced training so I could do Twitter better. in reply to AndreaZellner #
- @AndreaZellner I will soon have two degrees in English. So I have no idea. in reply to AndreaZellner #
- @jonbecker That exact link? in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker The copy you sent, well, is appropriate on picky punctuation night. Wonderful poem. in reply to jonbecker #
- @injenuity @sjciske Let's hope. Cool silhouette. How'd you shoot it? in reply to injenuity #
- @jonbecker Here's another. Seriously good poem. http://t.co/QS65AT0d in reply to jonbecker #
- Nuts. I'm five hundred words into this post, and am certain it's at least two more posts and four times as long. #
- @jonbecker Was focusing on the end – missed that. Nuts. in reply to jonbecker #
- @injenuity Nicely done. in reply to injenuity #
- Tonight's poem: "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop. http://t.co/SD01keI0 #
- @courosa We need to stop ignoring ALL bullying. All of it. Period. in reply to courosa #
- @shareski Guitar's worth doing. in reply to shareski #
- @courosa Also agreed. But when we split LGBT issues out too far, they stay Othered. in reply to courosa #
- @courosa Also also agreed. in reply to courosa #
- Now at 900 words. Certainly two posts. But which 900 go in which post? #
- “@jillfisch: Never Too Old for a Good Read Aloud http://t.co/h3zgM9TJ” (Quite right.) #
- @karlfisch Because they're about two different things. I think. Going to have to write more to figure it out. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlhehr @audreywatters @russgoerend Late to this conversation – but no. Federal law would require filtering on the network. Not device. in reply to karlhehr #
- @karlhehr @audreywatters @russgoerend And that's only if you take federal money. Specifically eRate. State laws are different. in reply to karlhehr #
- @audreywatters @karlhehr @russgoerend It'd be nice if they would. GOod luck in getting that answer. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters @karlhehr @russgoerend I can't fathom that the federal government could filter Internet access in a private home. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters I unsuccessfully argued that we shouldn't get into filtering on machines that leave the district. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Folks didn't want to deal with it. Of course, our filters at school are pretty wide open. So, too, off campus. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Apparently, on the other side of the firewall. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Are they blocking social networking sites on the machines? in reply to audreywatters #
- @karlhehr @audreywatters @russgoerend CAN. But are not legally obligated to do so. And maybe shouldn't. But that's beyond the law. in reply to karlhehr #
- @audreywatters Do they have a published list of categories? Who's the filter? Statewide? (And sorry to be a pest.) in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Oh, good grief. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters I call shenanigans, and hope that you're writing about this. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Avoidance of actual educational issues, unfortunately. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters That's a long list at school. Too long. in reply to audreywatters #
- Larry Sanger Blog » Is there a new geek anti-intellectualism? http://t.co/cmegSBO0 (via Instapaper) #
- @MrMacnology Yep. in reply to MrMacnology #
- @MrMacnology Hmm. That's not good. How do you know it's stuck? in reply to MrMacnology #
- @MrMacnology Smart. in reply to MrMacnology #
- @MrMacnology Two in a row. in reply to MrMacnology #
- Last night's #dmlbadges post: "When Badges Backfire." Some first draft thinking. http://t.co/gWB7ROQP #
- @amichetti Thanks. in reply to amichetti #
- Hope you'll join the CO Learning Network today at 3:30MST for a visit with @ricktanski on building an online school. http://t.co/JGD8a2EK #
- Learning from @ricktanski and @mramath about how they built their online school at CO Learning. Join us at 3:30pm MST. http://t.co/JGD8a2EK #
- Pre-chat with @ricktanski and @mramath. Come and hear about how they built their online school in 30 min. Important. http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- Webinar – Building an online school w/ @ricktanski and @mramath free Webinar starts in five minutes. You should come. http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- And it's on http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ @ricktanski and @mramath talking about how they build Academy Online High School. Cool story. #
- Rick and Michael about to talk about their process of building their own online courses, leasing them for a while. http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- Rick reminds us that, in Colorado, there's still a "bell schedule" requirement for online schools in Colorado. Huh. http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- Teachers at @ricktanski's online school wanted to build, not buy, their courses. So they did. Awesome. http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- "We wanted to engage our students through our content, not with our content." – @ricktanski http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- Now @mramath talking course design. Colorado teachers making Colorado courses. Love it. http://t.co/Oqb1gvhZ #
- "If it meets the needs of kids, I've got your back. If it doesn't, we're going to have a professional conversation." – @ricktanski #
- Magic day at the museum. Teagan shows off her work. Says T, "I didn't put magic in it for real, Daddy. Just pretend." http://t.co/Am2bYBly #
- Okay. So Lion new scrolling is fine for a trackpad. It's physically painful on a Magic Mouse. Good thing I ordered a new trackpad. #justify #
- Getting setup for tonight's # live session – tonight's featured teachers are @msstewart and @mrchase. Should be fun. #
- Class starts in ten minutes. Join us if you'd like. http://t.co/8xTmdQJQ #
- @nesticos It's not too late for you to join us. in reply to nesticos #
- @nesticos Wow. Well, you're more than welcome. in reply to nesticos #
- @nesticos To join us, I meant. in reply to nesticos #
- @russgoerend Nope. It's cool. # in reply to russgoerend #
- @poh No worries. I'll have the link up shortly. in reply to poh #
- @poh Never. These documents never close or expire. in reply to poh #
- @poh Sure. Here's the archive of tonight.
http://t.co/2L4MC7Y6 in reply to poh # - Important. # http://t.co/z6JQQbli #
- I'm grateful for y'all's time. Thank you for joining us. # @msstewart @mrchase in reply to msstewart #
- @CBethM Glad that you're finding # useful. in reply to CBethM #
- @baldy7 Here's the link to the archived webinar. Good resources in the file pod. I'm happy to answer any questions. http://t.co/agZ3aCA2 in reply to baldy7 #
- Yesterday's webinar archive of the CO Learning visit with @ricktanski and @mramath on building their online school. http://t.co/agZ3aCA2 #
- @baldy7 @ricktanski is a smart dude with a good team. I suspect he'd be open to conversation if you had questions or wanted to talk. in reply to baldy7 #
- I hope there's someone leaving notes in your lunchbox. And that you're leaving notes for someone. #whyiwrite http://t.co/DEhahxnN #
- @jeffk8 Good luck. in reply to jeffk8 #
- @audreywatters Nice. And nice. Tell them I said hi. And I'm looking forward to the answer. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters That's bogus. Either it's the network or the device. And if it's the device, then more devices are eRate eligible. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Okay. It IS complicated. To be fair. in reply to audreywatters #
- @audreywatters Exactly. in reply to audreywatters #
- @scmorgan Sure. Check the syllabus. in reply to scmorgan #
- @scmorgan Here's a direct link. http://t.co/2L4MC7Y6 in reply to scmorgan #
- Just submitted a workshop proposal on practitioner research for #dml2012 Why not, right? #
- @danamhuff Alas, I had to back out. in reply to danamhuff #
- @jonbecker Perhaps an iron-on transfer. #yeahIsaw in reply to jonbecker #
- @danamhuff I'm glad to hear that. I suspected it would. What's the most interesting part? in reply to danamhuff #
- @Seecantrill Yay back at ya. in reply to Seecantrill #
- Trying out a repetitive poem form. Methinks I doth repeat too much. #
- Tonight's poem: Why I Write by me. http://t.co/aDhlEpxU #whyiwrite #
- I'm so going to win my bet with @kadding about Google +. Now if only I could remember what was at stake. http://t.co/HnPiNS58 #
- @AndreaZellner Happy birthday. Many happy returns. in reply to AndreaZellner #
- Last night's poem for the National Day on Writing: "Why I Write." http://t.co/aDhlEpxU #whyiwrite #
- Went into a quick technical meeting on a video service. At 8am. Still there. #
- I write to play. With ideas. With people. With places. With words. #whyiwrite #
- @smartinez @gsiemens Sometimes when I ask folks to write or interact, I suspect reluctance comes from self-doubt. Sometimes. in reply to smartinez #
- @smartinez @gsiemens They are expecting "the answer." in reply to smartinez #
- @courosa It mostly is. Green bubbles are SMS. Blue bubbles are iMessages. Not SMS – sent via data. in reply to courosa #
- @courosa Yeah. One weakness is that you need to know that the person you're sending to is receiving on an iOS5 device. in reply to courosa #
- @courosa Example. Note the iMessage in gray. http://t.co/aLY4EuKE in reply to courosa #
- @davecormier @courosa Nah. It'll work over 3G, too. And possibly over other networks – provided you have data. in reply to davecormier #
- @courosa Yep. in reply to courosa #
- @courosa Of course, as I say that, don't know about international. Haven't tried it. in reply to courosa #
- @courosa Correct. in reply to courosa #
- @timmmmyboy @courosa Yeah. Mostly, I'm talking to who I was before and discovering what device OS they have when I see blue. in reply to timmmmyboy #
- @courosa Sent. in reply to courosa #
- @shareski Ew. Don't automessage. Sends the wrong, ahem, message. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Hrm. I don't "address" new followers, either. I listen. They listen. We talk when it makes sense. I don't push stuff at them. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski But they just agreed to follow. So they're going to hear you. I get that you're being intentional. I just am turned off by autos. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Fair enough. Keep us posted on how it goes. in reply to shareski #
- @stumpteacher @shareski I'm wrong about many things. Best of luck. in reply to stumpteacher #
- I once sat down to write a book with my friend Chris. We were ten. He had a computer. We failed. One day, I'll succeed. #whyiwrite #
- Presenting some of my thesis research to a high school blogging group next week. That I studied. So that's something. #
- @skajder Once it's submitted, after some copyediting, it hits the Web. A book is for later. in reply to skajder #
- @skajder There's not a book in the thesis. It might suggest something, though. That's likely been written. in reply to skajder #
- A teacher nearby has me attached to her student writing Google Doc Collection. 1st graders. Watching them write is a treat. #whyiwrite #
- @mrami2 @dontworryteach I believe iCal will do some of the lifting. in reply to mrami2 #
- Senator Bennet doesn't seem to represent me. Need to read his amendments. http://t.co/3JDePEg4 #
- It seems that Sen. Bennet trusts the federal government to turnaround schools, but not states to certify teachers. Interesting. Troublesome. #
- Reading _American Gospel_ by Meacham. And listening to _Einstein_ by Isaacson on the road. Nice juxtaposition. #
- Question from last night's technology contact meeting weighs heavily on my mind: "But if we don't do the work that needs doing, who will?" #
- Two essential questions lead from that one: 1. What work is worth doing? and 2. How do we match resources to priorities? #
- And those questions lead to more. Who decides? Who determines what's worth doing? #
- Following ESEA work in the Senate yesterday, those questions are important. #
- @bbarreda Yes. And in the face of so many competing demands on attention and priorities, where does the time for such collaboration come? in reply to bbarreda #
- And @willrich45's questions about the definitions of "learning" are relevant here. "What's worth doing?" should be nested within those. #
- @bbarreda Sure. So long as that control is moving the ball in the "right" direction. Which is tricky to do when that's not clear. in reply to bbarreda #
- @jonbecker @willrich45 @bonstewart @gsiemens The exact word is less important than the thrust of the idea – we should pay attention. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker @willrich45 @bonstewart @gsiemens We should use what we know and hope and want to inform our movement. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker @willrich45 @bonstewart @gsiemens But know the differences between those things & how those different pieces of information work. in reply to jonbecker #
- @bonstewart @jonbecker @willrich45 @gsiemens Depends on what one's analyzing. The noun form is dependent on the questions/intention/process. in reply to bonstewart #
- @bonstewart @jonbecker @willrich45 @gsiemens It is factual, is it not, to declare what one's opinions are? To determine empirical vs. other? in reply to bonstewart #
- @bonstewart @jonbecker @willrich45 @gsiemens There's certainly Bakhtinian baggage in "facts," but there's also opportunity to influence . . in reply to bonstewart #
- @bonstewart @jonbecker @willrich45 @gsiemens . . current and future uses of the term. in reply to bonstewart #
- @bonstewart Don't your essays, analytical observations on your experiences, produce analytics? Bring out Truth from experience? in reply to bonstewart #
- @bonstewart I'm certain that it's a narrowly viewed word. Hence my reference to baggage. But people change words by how we use and discuss. in reply to bonstewart #
- Overly prescriptive writing instruction is troublesome, especially in new environments. # http://t.co/a765cSvw #
- More on the question that stuck in my head over night on the work blog: http://t.co/Un964BmG #
- Starbursts and coffee. #twogreattastesthatdonottastegreattogether #
- @bonstewart Slidedeck's useful – any chance you're recording the audio? Please? in reply to bonstewart #
- Isaacson's _Einstein_. Metric tensors and covariance. Brain hurts. Wow. #
- So. Adobe Captivate. What do I need to know? #
- @windsordi What would you recommend – we're in a review. in reply to windsordi #
- @karlfisch @bechardl @courosa Too many words. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch You know your Twain. Cool. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch No. Wait. That's not Twain. Who said that? in reply to karlfisch #
- @JenRoberts1 @karlfisch Yeah. I've just found several references, too. Fascinating. in reply to JenRoberts1 #
- @JenRoberts1 @karlfisch Seems Pascal then Twain. Some other folks along the way. @michellek107 in reply to JenRoberts1 #
- @michellek107 @jenroberts1 @karlfisch Yep. big long list. Let's just go ahead and give it to Karl. in reply to michellek107 #
- @bonstewart Actually, your framework works for something I'm working on. Slides are helpful. Thanks. in reply to bonstewart #
- @Digimom 90 percent of what I've seen is on par with that article. Less efficient than the thing they replace. in reply to Digimom #
- @shareski Just cause some people like it doesn't mean it's a good idea. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski True. I'm living it up. Just had the title company drop by to spend some time handing me papers to sign. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Refinanced my mortgage again. I keep buying this house. One day, it'll be mine. in reply to shareski #
- @Dowbiggin @shareski Considering a read aloud of some of these disclosure statements. Live stream? in reply to Dowbiggin #
- Library. Errands. Visit to friend's farm. Dinner. That's Saturday. #
- @SVVSDLibraries Go, Rams. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- @SVVSDLibraries Whew. And go, Rams. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- Today's book challenge: Ani would like a "girl Halloween chapter book." She's six but reads a couple years ahead of her age. Ideas? #
- Teagan has the whole YA reading area to herself. http://t.co/rf1Rzz3A #
- Wow. Excellent recommendations, y'all. Ani reminded me that she could ask a librarian. So she did. All by herself.
Thanks. # - Ani and I have agreed that I'll be coming back for some of these great recommendations on another day. Thanks again, everybody. #
- @SVVSDLibraries That's what I told her. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
- Okay. We need some new knock knock jokes at our house. Your favorites? Kid friendly, please. #
- @mrsbadman13 Excellent. Thank you. in reply to mrsbadman13 #
- Our friends are watching some horses. We have kids. Therefore, we got the kids on the horse. http://t.co/XF0WZKlz #
- Teagan, too. http://t.co/IIbh6Fcd #
- @sarahpom I'm told a miniature horse. But I'm not expert in such things. in reply to sarahpom #
- Watching my kids groom this horse. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday. #
- Watching the salad get made. http://t.co/Wn3N82Go #
- The other side of the situation. http://t.co/gbMSrqJi #
- @LisaRead Take a look at the next picture. I'm biased, but they're pretty cute. in reply to LisaRead #
- @LisaRead I'm a lucky guy. in reply to LisaRead #
- Ani went with _Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots_ from the Bailey School Kids series. In case you were wondering. http://t.co/cbgvtA4c #
- Letting Netflix take the wheel. #
- Saw the characters in the show we were watching enjoying movie popcorn. We live less than a mile from a theater. Guess where I am now? #
- @EdTechSandyK WordPress plugins: Twitter Tools and Social from Mailchimp. in reply to EdTechSandyK #
- @EdTechSandyK Take a look at ifttt. http://t.co/CnFmUhXq in reply to EdTechSandyK #
- Took the girls to Anderson Farm for pumpkins and animals and hay and whatnot. There was also meat on sticks. Nothing wrong with that. #
- Short naps. Now dinner with nephews. Delightful Fall Sunday. #
- Reading the latest from folks in # I'm likely due to write some summary about what I'm learning. #
- Also just ordered a Fitbit. So that's something. #
- @MrMacnology Probably. But I'm intrigued by this gadget. in reply to MrMacnology #
- @mazinbenny Wait. What? in reply to mazinbenny #
- @mazinbenny Accountability in all things? in reply to mazinbenny #
- @shareski Every now and then, that's okay. But regularly, watch out. in reply to shareski #
- @mazinbenny Um. Er. Uh. We've moved. To France. in reply to mazinbenny #
- @mazinbenny Yeah. Teagan had a cold, so we were planning on staying home. Then things evolved. in reply to mazinbenny #
- @shareski Nope. I didn't see him play today, and I suspect he'll be good, but I don't have the fever. in reply to shareski #
- I live in the future. Syncing a telephone in the next room on a computer in the basement. From a third machine not connected to the others. #
- @mazinbenny There's that. in reply to mazinbenny #
- @adinasullivan Those're dangerous. Fire and stuff. in reply to adinasullivan #
- @cogdog Oops. Sorry about that. Especially all the voice memos. Just go ahead and delete those. in reply to cogdog #
- Week 3 Overview for # is posted. Just in case you were waiting on it. http://t.co/Qe2En1vt #
- So I've got a bunch of Instapaper folders that I'd like to either share with folks or have harvested by Delicious/Pinboard. Suggestions? #
- @matt_wimberly Beautiful. in reply to matt_wimberly #
- @tomfullerton Not easily. One at a time no problem – but I want to share the collections. in reply to tomfullerton #
- @tomfullerton But Instapaper does provide RSS for the folders. So there's that. Hmm. in reply to tomfullerton #
- @tomfullerton Just built an ifttt task from the feed to Pinboard. Might do what I need. in reply to tomfullerton #
- @tomfullerton Also smart. in reply to tomfullerton #
- @tomfullerton No. Useful. I'm out of practice of curating like this – you're most helpful. Thanks. in reply to tomfullerton #
