• It gets ever easier to say things. But not so much to have something to say. #

• I'm having difficulty listening to a book on motivation. Which is telling, isn't it? #
• Celebrating our DLC 2nd cohort's year of teacher research today. Looking forward to seeing our team leaders' results. #
• Listening to teachers teach teachers as they share teacher research results. This is the good stuff. #
• Snapshot from the room:Special Ed. teacher explaining that using Google Docs with her students let them "do what the other kids were doing." #
• Another snapshot: K. teacher – The students learned things about writing (with computers) they couldn't've learned with paper and pencil. #
• Snapshot: "The tech. didn't improve my students' learning. Directly. But it did help me to better understand my students' writing process." #
• Not just in LA. How do we build/make kid-friendly makerspaces in all communities that want one? http://t.co/3L542E7Z #
• Snapshot: "'Teaching writing' and 'assessing writing' might be different things." #
• Brain full from morning of teacher research presentations. And more to come after lunch. Then the work of dissemination begins. #
• Teachers from the DLC reporting that teacher research is hard. But worth doing. #
• My Reading the Web eCourse with PLP kicks off in July and again in November. You should come. http://t.co/sFxkbtZz #
• DLC teacher researchers hearing form our project evaluators about what they've noticed. #
• General consensus? The inquiry work we've done together will stick. The technology learning might. #

• @jonbecker Yeah. ActivInspire has a screen capture tool. in reply to jonbecker #
• @jonbecker I wouldn't do it that way, but I'm guessing it's a "Love the One You're With" situation. in reply to jonbecker #
• A writer writes. A maker makes. Start and your space is a space of making. Thanks for the reminder, @tieandjeans. #

• @msstewart @poh Go get 'em. in reply to msstewart #
• Not to be all old fashioned & all, but might it be that long periods of time spent thoughtfully w/ others actually ARE a good way to learn? #
• @ErieElemPrin @milobo @kadding Are you looking for a teacher or for someone else? One of us would be happy to do so if schedule works. in reply to ErieElemPrin #
• @ErieElemPrin @milobo @kadding Prezi was a staff choice? I've got a good presentation on giving presentations in general ready to go. in reply to ErieElemPrin #
• I mean, fast attempts to cram information into one's head may work for some stuff, but as the gold standard of learning? No. #
• If your #edtech product promotes thoughtfulness, that's handy. If it gets in the way of that, it's a distraction and unneeded. #
• @ErieElemPrin @milobo @kadding Cool. I didn't see that trailer. Where can I find it? in reply to ErieElemPrin #

• @sjciske @ddraper We shouldn't have grass. But we do. So there's work to do. in reply to sjciske #
• Listening to a 6-month old episode of #edtechweekly Does that make me hip for going into the archive or wildly out of touch b/c I'm behind? #
• @ddraper It's true. in reply to ddraper #
• @davecormier I figured. in reply to davecormier #
• It's raining. Nice. #
