The Week in Tweets for 2012-04-23

• @bjfr @audreywatters I must've missed the exact match data. Thanks. in reply to bjfr #
• Man. My attitude is out of whack. "try to be aware of the problem./If you don't know what it is, it's probably you." – Taylor Mali #
• Listening to this – http://t.co/GyLidHdu – and wondering if humor is an essential element of play – or is actually a side effect of it. #
• Playing with ideas might be funny, but you don't have to play funny with them. Maybe. #
• @kfasimpaur I wonder what an online site/SI could look like. in reply to kfasimpaur #
• @kfasimpaur Perhaps. in reply to kfasimpaur #
• @brueckj23 Sadly, yes. in reply to brueckj23 #
• @kfasimpaur I honestly don't know. Am wondering. in reply to kfasimpaur #
• Getting swarmed by poems on the blog this morning. I'm okay with that. http://t.co/DOrqCgIp #
• @kfasimpaur Seems to me that as local is changed by network, then perhaps previously local offline things might have online local versions. in reply to kfasimpaur #
• @dlaufenberg Me, too. Not even a problem, in fact. in reply to dlaufenberg #
• Taking part for a bit in "Doing Democracy Day" at the city of Longmont Council Chambers. Students mixing with area leaders to talk policy. #
• Today's agenda. http://t.co/UmSF8jxr #
• Today's topics. http://t.co/xo6n0MhX #
• Is it me, or is there a large pile of money pretending to talk about schooling at the #eisummit Innovation is not about helping money flow. #
• Neat electronic annotation of "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus. You know this poem. You do. http://t.co/oBNw6D04 #
• @audreywatters @willrich45 And iNACOL. in reply to audreywatters #
• Fiddling with some video for today's @colearning webinar on student presentations of learning. Starts in 90 minutes. http://t.co/kiiGVFbp #
• @injenuity A discussion space? in reply to injenuity #
• @davecormier I think I'd want to know why @bonstewart is scanning your passport. Hackathon for the rest of us, perhaps? in reply to davecormier #
• @willrich45 @diglearningnow They'd say this. http://t.co/3BhbPoLt in reply to willrich45 #
• @willrich45 Oh, I know. Just trying to get you to an answer. Which I'm guessing maybe you already had. in reply to willrich45 #
• @willrich45 Sigh. in reply to willrich45 #
• Starting right now – a conversation on student presentations on learning – metacognitive thinking – at #colearning http://t.co/wUIbKC4U #
• At MEC, students are participating in coursework and internships as a piece of their school career http://t.co/wUIbKC4U #colearning #
• Three times per year, students are expected to give a presentation on their learning. No grades. http://t.co/wUIbKC4U #colearning #
• @edinnovatenet @jcdarwish @junyo For one thing, pregnancy is a binary. Are or aren't. "Knowledge" or "mastery" not so simple. in reply to edinnovatenet #
• Teagan's Self Portrait http://t.co/4KNsK5SL #
• This week's @HuluBattle was well done. Particularly enjoyed @DaveHolmes as the host of the MTV-y expose. #
• @DaveHolmes @hulubattle It most certainly is. You were the perfect addition. in reply to DaveHolmes #
• @BrklynSurfer We'll have an archive of that conversation available tomorrow at http://t.co/1SDiwTT4 in reply to BrklynSurfer #
• @MrMacnology Yikes. in reply to MrMacnology #
• @willrich45 @chrislehmann Listening to this panel. Um. Huge holes in learning. And understanding what the landscape is. in reply to willrich45 #
• @chrislehmann @willrich45 Yep. "Resistance from unions" doesn't just mean teachers are being stubborn and foolish. They might disagree. in reply to chrislehmann #
• @chrislehmann Gates keeps asking that. in reply to chrislehmann #
• A school can be a marketplace. It might also be a commons. But those metaphors should be in conversation. #eisummit #
• Did Gov. Bush just say that he is unable to understand educational research? #eisummit #
• I do think that students are asked too often to write to their personal experiences without connection to other information. #eisummit #
• Still, it wouldn't hurt for our bosses to care more about "who we are and what we think." A little empathy is good for business. #eisummit #
• @willrich45 No. I think the push for students to write more is right on. Thoughtful writers can call BS on all sorts of ideas. #eisummit in reply to willrich45 #
• @KimMcCollum @willrich45 Yes. I know some folks who are doing some of that work. I think the frame they are in is too narrow. in reply to KimMcCollum #
• @KimMcCollum @willrich45 But that's not the fault of the standards – it's a fault of the implementation there. in reply to KimMcCollum #
• @willrich45 I wouldn't mind more opportunities for writing. My worry is that they'll be cookie cutter assignments. in reply to willrich45 #
• @KimMcCollum @willrich45 I think there's room to work with them. I'm saying that unimaginative attempts to prepackage lessons are bad. in reply to KimMcCollum #
• Just now, Ms. the Teacher and I coached Ani, age seven, through her first "three reasons" paragraph. Right here at our kitchen table. Huh. #
• So http://t.co/DmLndtVI is a fascinating game of personal development. With Choose Your Own Adventure elements. And a superhero wrapping. #
• @chadsansing @paulallison @minecraftteachr Sorry I couldn't make it. Really good show idea. in reply to chadsansing #
• @savasavasava I'm not sure if I can make it a habit – but I like the idea. in reply to savasavasava #
• @savasavasava I'm on a habit fiddle right now, and know what you mean. And I'm not sure I like that part of me so much. in reply to savasavasava #
• @savasavasava Excelsior. TO us both. in reply to savasavasava #
• Making content that folks will miss if it isn't there and won't use if it is. So that's happening. #
• @JaneEspenson About to start a sprint here – feel free to join me if you're up for another round. in reply to JaneEspenson #
• @TraciLHaley Fun. in reply to TraciLHaley #
• @bjfr Bandwidth. More bandwidth. And opportunities for professional learning. in reply to bjfr #
• @VCamronTC Thanks for the updates from the Board meeting. in reply to VCamronTC #
• @VCamronTC I always find good notes work for quick tweets. They support one another. But I know it's a challenge. Appreciated. in reply to VCamronTC #
• @bjfr Yes to both. We need bigger pipes and more of them. in reply to bjfr #
• I might've had one too many cups of coffee. #
• And I'm thinking that I now have a basic working knowledge of Camtasia. So that's something. #
• @mozzadrella Isn't that the greatest button ever? in reply to mozzadrella #

• Good comments on automated essay grading here. I need to reply soon. http://t.co/LezH4YGI #
• @savasavasava Pretty neat idea. in reply to savasavasava #
• Projects five and six for the week down. On to project seven. Then I'm going to play some sort of game. #
• Huh. And project number eight. Homework for @Shareski. #
• @danharmon Wow. What an episode. I'm almost compelled to use an exclamation point. #
• Three slides became ten.
  Ten became seventeen. Nuts.
  Soon to have more. #slidedeckhaiku #
• @Kyle_simon What's a convention if you can't fiddle with it? in reply to Kyle_simon #
• @savasavasava Glad you found that essay. Useful reminder. in reply to savasavasava #
• @savasavasava Then it's working. Look at your fish. Love something. Return to it from time to time. in reply to savasavasava #
• @savasavasava Formatting' funky, but here's the original fish essay. http://t.co/gCz1CTmW in reply to savasavasava #
• @shareski @juliafallon @ijohnpederson @timlauer I've seen the "shut up" happen in person. It's a fuller experience. in reply to shareski #
• @injenuity Some of us are just a time zone away. in reply to injenuity #
• @kadding Thanks. in reply to kadding #
• @shareski One day I hope to. in reply to shareski #

• Another poem: "Fingertipping" by me. – http://t.co/zuhmBZ0X (Catching up on my prompts.) #
• @audreywatters Dammit, it's just killing me that folks *want* the machines to read the writing. The reading's the important part. in reply to audreywatters #
• @audreywatters And that's a benefit. Some say. in reply to audreywatters #
• @audreywatters Could you pass the Soma and hit the light on your way out? in reply to audreywatters #

• @dogtrax I've not yet put it there. Thanks. in reply to dogtrax #
• Quinn and I paused a moment on our drive this morning to watch a hot air balloon take off.

  Worth it. #

• Pleased to be joining our district's parent awareness group to share some information about what's up with technology around the district. #
• Speaker – Americans are great at innovation and creativity, but we seem to be using most of our creativity to make the other side look bad. #
• @corisaas Thanks for sharing it! in reply to corisaas #
• The speaker I referenced earlier is the gentleman who runs this center for Public Deliberation – I like this. Lots. http://t.co/0kfOr2uX #
• @smartinez Um. What do those look like? in reply to smartinez #
• @shareski Rendering now. in reply to shareski #
• Gross. Ads in the content. Should folks who retweet get a cut of the revenue? http://t.co/joS2GGGe #
• @SVVSDLibraries You're most welcome. in reply to SVVSDLibraries #
• @bonstewart That'd be fun. Would you do the same for my course? in reply to bonstewart #
• Getting set for the double kid our-day-for-snack soccer morning. Or, as I'm calling it in my head, "the Death Star run." #
• Made it to the first game. Picture day. Unexpected purchase made. +10 for me. #
• Picture day punctuality is just like being chased by a bear. You don't have to be first. Just not last. Success. #
• @shareski Cool. Thanks. How'd the session go? in reply to shareski #

  Uh oh. #

• @fenixliteracy Thanks. Glad it was useful to you. in reply to fenixliteracy #

• @bonstewart Cool. We should figure that out then. in reply to bonstewart #
• I shared some thoughts on being silly with @shareski earlier for the #socialmediasummit Here they are. http://t.co/pPQ012O0 #
• Oops. That was the #sociallearningsummit The Internet is hard. http://t.co/pPQ012O0 #
• Success. Three Caprisuns and four bags of fruit later. #
• Remaining quests for the day:

  – Attempt to level up on Garage Vacuuming.
  – Successful operation of another man's grill.

  Wish me luck. #

• @courosa @robinthailand @injenuity Is the concern that Alec didn't discover the thing but through Reddit? in reply to courosa #
• @RobinThailand @courosa @injenuity Ok. But what's the actual problem? in reply to RobinThailand #
• @RobinThailand @injenuity @courosa The "dangerous" bit to me is when people start worrying too much about tweets. in reply to RobinThailand #
• @RobinThailand @injenuity @courosa I still don't get it. He's being insincere by sharing? in reply to RobinThailand #
• @RobinThailand @courosa @injenuity Reddit's a place. Just a place. in reply to RobinThailand #

• @msstewart Oh. Nice. in reply to msstewart #
• Strange people keep leaving pages of yellow pages with phone numbers upon them on my porch. So odd. #
• @jonbecker @shareski @TeachaKidd "Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar." – Sigmund Freud in reply to jonbecker #
