- Elementary school staff meetings are warmer than secondary staff meetings. Hmm. #
- Staff meetings are better with baked goods. Yum. Thanks, @milobo and @kadding! http://t.co/qE25ysMb #
- @David63Baker _Einstein_ by Isaacson. Great book. in reply to David63Baker #
- OH: “I have butter on my laptop.” – @milobo #
- So you’re going to fiddle with Ubermix. You’d put it on what hardware? #
- @mrmosesdotorg Software’s fine – I want to put in it the field. What’s the right machine to do that with? in reply to mrmosesdotorg #
- @jnetman1 Suppose I were going to field test Ubermix. What hardware should I put it on? #
- @jnetman1 I’m going to put it into some teachers’ hands to play with students. Wondering about network authentication and file storage. in reply to jnetman1 #
- @jnetman1 That said, I’m also thinking that I basically just need a rugged student device that can fit into existing carts. in reply to jnetman1 #
- @jnetman1 All good to know. Thanks. I’m trying to get folks around/beyond the iPad when it makes sense to. Which is often. in reply to jnetman1 #
- @jnetman1 Nah. I think it’s about to hit hard with wave 2. (“This Fire thing LOOKS like an iPad – but it’s cheaper. Let’s buy those.”) in reply to jnetman1 #
- Was reminded today of the power of writing to help one get unstuck. Which is good. I’ve been stuck. #
- @jonbecker @courosa @audreywatters @mcleod We opened it up. No filter. Ate us alive. 1/3 of our bandwidth at the time. Facebook? Teeny. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker @courosa @audreywatters @mcleod It’s now behind a teacher override – one of the few sites that is. in reply to jonbecker #
- @HHG @jonbecker @courosa @audreywatters @mcleod Yeah. We asked people to curb their use. They didn’t. Disappointing. in reply to HHG #
- @whittclass There’s no easy solution to bandwidth problems. Get more. But that’s easier said than done. in reply to whittclass #
- Wow. The new new Twitter seems great for people who don’t actively use Twitter. #
- @whittclass We had to restrict YouTube to staff override. Couldn’t buy enough bandwidth. in reply to whittclass #
- @whittclass Is it blocked for you, then, for other reasons? in reply to whittclass #
- @mcleod @hhg @audreywatters Scott, the sewer didn’t get stopped up. The network did. It remains an open conversation. in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod @hhg @audreywatters That utility metaphor only takes you so far. Water comes from a filtered source. in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod @hhg @audreywatters I wouldn’t disagree that bandwidth is a national infrastructure problem. But it’s bigger than schools. in reply to mcleod #
- @karlfisch Actually, most of the student data travels on the internal networks. So, no. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch But time would be saved. Opportunity available. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch These are good points. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch Every rose has its thorn, and all that. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch Your attention to detail is noted and appreciated. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch Have you investigated yet how to arrange for private citizens and their politicians to sit the CTAP? On my list for next week. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch That’s fair. in reply to karlfisch #
- @kadding A holiday miracle. in reply to kadding #
- @mramidon Yes, but I believe what will project is dependent on apps that will project. in reply to mramidon #
- @mramidon Should project. in reply to mramidon #
- Full hard drive. Lots of almost finished iMovie projects. Opportunity knocks. #
- @russgoerend @nashworld @diigo I see the appeal, but are you sure you want to further create a unique version of the Web for every student? in reply to russgoerend #
- This looks like important work. I wonder why CDE launched two weeks before Christmas. http://t.co/lB08J1t5 #
- @KevinByers Just did. Go for it. in reply to KevinByers #
- By the way, I just applied for that committee. So that’ll show ’em. #
- Do you think readers who are more fluent might actually enjoy reading more? #
- I hope folks enjoy the @edublogs awards this evening/morning/whatever – should be a great chance to learn about new voices. #
- Off to a Christmas pageant with Teagan. http://t.co/SF0PdVL1 #
- Big win. In the front row. http://t.co/RsRlYBrk #
- @shareski Someday soon, I need you to show me how to man the #ds106radio stream. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Seems to me like you’re in the zone of knowing stuff. And on Mountain time. Us MSTies have to stick together. in reply to shareski #
- @milobo Thanks, partner. And we will. in reply to milobo #
- Best part of the pageant so far? People watching. Parents already elbowing other parents for good camera spots. #
- I brought four cameras. That’s probably enough. #xmaspageantchat #
- Feeling for the dads & granddads who all got here when I did ‘cept they were carrying an armload of coats for seat saving. #xmaspageantchat #
- @bryanjack Thanks. I’ve seen that, but wasn’t quite ready. Perhaps it’s time. Appreciated. in reply to bryanjack #
- @notperfect I forgot the hashtag. My bad. #xmaspageantchat in reply to notperfect #
- @notperfect Me, too. And thanks. Teagan can lip sync with the best of them. #xmaspageantchat in reply to notperfect #
- @bryanjack Thank you. That’s the part that frightens me. in reply to bryanjack #
- Thought this fella was using his iPad as a camera – but he’s Facetiming the show. Neat. #xmaspageantchat http://t.co/yGG5jv8p #
- And just as quickly as it began, it’s over. I’m certain that 3,872,943 photos were taken. Ballpark. #xmaspageantchat #
- I’m pretty sure that Twitter broke Twitter. #
- I am sometimes appalled at what stands as “truth” because it was said by someone with a straight face. #
- It really does feel like Twitter said “Hey, you know how easy it is to find things in Twitter? Yeah. Let’s make that much more difficult.” #
- Was reading SOPA earlier. THe first paragraph says that it doesn’t violate the 1st Amendment, so that must be true. Right? #censorship #
- @ehoefler I don’t. But search is shot, they’ve hidden previously easily discoverable information, and removed useful tools from the app. in reply to ehoefler #
- @shareski Look for an exclamation point icon next to the device name in the iTunes sidebar. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski Alternatively, you could connect with cable and sync. Error pane should come up with a disclosure triangle to display errors. in reply to shareski #
- @karlfisch @shareski Man. You guys have some stuff you need to work out. in reply to karlfisch #
- @chemicalsams I really appreciate the categories and the grade comparisons. I think that says a lot and hope you keep tracking. in reply to chemicalsams #
- @chemicalsams Yeah – the labeling can be tricky, but the categories speak to a larger issue – in reply to chemicalsams #
- @chemicalsams If the folks who have the skills are better able to navigate your assessments and Google – well, that’s worth wondering about. in reply to chemicalsams #
- @shareski @karlfisch I think @chemicalsams data suggests that they might not do so well without knowledge of both Wolfram AND math. in reply to shareski #
- @karlfisch Perhaps. But I’m thinking that his info suggests the same thing I knew about English or other subjects – in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch to succeed with open note/book/Internet, you need to understand both the course content and how the notes are organized. in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch Hmm. But can you manipulate a tool that’ll do the low level stuff for you without any working sense of the higher order stuff? in reply to karlfisch #
- @karlfisch Sounds like you’ve a question problem. in reply to karlfisch #
- @shareski @karlfisch In math, what’s the music vs what’s the skill? I could’ve learned notes. Instead I learned chord shapes. in reply to shareski #
- @shareski @karlfisch Then notes came later because the application of the chords taught me why to care about the notes/skills. in reply to shareski #
- @karlfisch CDE wants you to help. Tweeted a link yesterday. in reply to karlfisch #
- Renting clothes for a special occasion. http://t.co/tWAfmVDv #
- Dear #DML Thank you for your notification that my proposal was not accepted. Did you *have* to send the rejection three times? That stung. #
- @Empathetics You and me both. Nuts to those folks. Nuts to them, I say. in reply to Empathetics #
- @Empathetics I dunno. Did you get six rejections? in reply to Empathetics #
- @Empathetics I reckon. Definitely hurt more. in reply to Empathetics #
- @Empathetics I’ve done that. It’s hard. I think I’ll post the rejected proposal instead. As a warning to others. in reply to Empathetics #
- Didn’t like this spoon. Until I discovered it’s a fine air guitar prop. New favorite. http://t.co/mlxzk0kJ #
- Congress has trouble with Twitter, too. http://t.co/mjsUZmF7 #
- @notperfect Overhead percentage. Among other things. in reply to notperfect #
- Reading to my sister’s Kindergarten class tomorrow. Had to have the right book. I really like Bear. http://t.co/g2L5bwKm #
- @jonbecker Yes. And I considered. Asked to bring in a book I like. Usually choose _Three Snow Bears_ by Brett. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker Think it was a poor choice? in reply to jonbecker #
- @notperfect Seems like it would’ve been better for the giftees if they hadn’t bought computers for all the ducks. in reply to notperfect #
- @jonbecker Yeah. As one story in a tapestry of stories in a classroom where I know the teacher’s been giving lots of perspectives. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker True. But there are some that are. And seems to me it’s better to tell a few of all categories of good stories. in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker @ryanbretag Drat. You’ve made my selection process much more difficult. Hmm. in reply to jonbecker #
- Everybody now: “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas . . . .” #
- @ijesspederson I might be the biggest Bear fan in the house, but they tolerate me. in reply to ijesspederson #
- Thank you, @jaredpolis, for pledging to vote against SOPA. http://t.co/WNswIua3 #
- @conceptela @karlfisch I do not. What is the goal of such a contest? in reply to conceptela #
- With @kadding reading to some Kindergartners. http://t.co/JGcvJPUh #
- Never seen an iOS app clean itself before. Weird. http://t.co/UmoOkEHA #
- @russgoerend Hrm. Thanks. in reply to russgoerend #
- @jonbecker @edjurist Those’re also the folks being driven out of the space by market-based reforms. in reply to jonbecker #
- @evernote When will I be able to annotate and bookmark PDFs from within Evernote mobile apps? (I’m hopeful.) #evernotepodcast in reply to evernote #
- Killing spam. I hate spam. #
- So pretty much every professional organization I’m aware of has their own semi-private online community. Re-fragmentation of the Web? #
- Or perhaps scaffolding for folks who are new to online spaces. Make stuff open when you’re able. #
- When you’re talking about most of the information in those spaces, available’s good. Passwords are bad. Keep things public, folks. #
- @dawblack The user generated content? Um, it’s freely generated by the users. I’m not saying that all info should be free. in reply to dawblack #
- @dawblack But if you’re giving your stuff to an org to put behind a paywall, well, perhaps one shouldn’t. in reply to dawblack #
- Off to graduation. #
- Here. http://t.co/LVr6wSkN #
- @web20classroom Thanks much. in reply to web20classroom #
- @kadding Shucks. I’m honored. Please thank the team for me. in reply to kadding #
- I’m avoiding the hat until the last possible moment. It’s a silly hat. #graduationchat #
- Huh. They’re streaming this thing. http://t.co/Mr3wwb86 #graduationchat #
- I put on the silly hat. But everyone else did, too. Oddly, that makes it less silly. http://t.co/Wl0MDXDO #
- @milobo Like that was a problem for me. #graduationchat in reply to milobo #
- The view from the floor. http://t.co/7zMwSCPX #
- Today’s ceremony has a special sponsor. #graduationchat http://t.co/LLvltEXL #
- @skajder Good to know. I’ll add that to the “pro” column. in reply to skajder #
- And I’m graduated. #graduationchat #
- @Cindy_OA Look what we did! Thanks for everything? http://t.co/toHW0efA #
- @cindy_oa That was supposed to be an exclamation point. Not a question mark. Thanks for everything! (Bonus – I get to keep the hat.) #
- @sinemsyh Sure. Go for it. in reply to sinemsyh #
- Family Christmas brunch. Now sister’s Christmas party. Fun day. Lots of family time. #
- @baratunde Perhaps penicillin or some sort of quarantine would help? Warm shower maybe? in reply to baratunde #
- @courosa Good. Happy for y’all. in reply to courosa #
- @gamecocks7 Yes. Finally finished. in reply to gamecocks7 #
