The Week in Tweets for 2012-09-24

• @msstewart Such a question often does. Cool. in reply to msstewart #
• It's not too late to join us for this weekend's HackJam. But it almost is. Sign up now. http://t.co/qzu7YuGF #
• Talking through a sticky problem – can't monitor Google Sites – and the storage is filled up. How are you dealing with this? #
• Too bad Google doesn't seem willing to help us at least see what we've got going on. A dashboard would be cool. #
• Google's really screwing up here – no tools for seeing how Sites are being used, or ability to see who's using the most space. #
• No ability from Google to purchase more storage. No ability to track the problem. Perhaps we should leave Google Sites. #
• @jonbecker Um. I'm thinking that's not the option. in reply to jonbecker #
• @ITWebGuy13 I can't get every user to post the tracking code. So no. in reply to ITWebGuy13 #
• We'd love to let folks use Google Sites on the district domain – but it's impossible to manage at this time. Nuts. #
• What could we host ourselves for easyish website creation stuff? (Not CMS – so I'm thinking not much.) #
• @jonbecker We have a healthy WordPress server – but no, it's not. Different need. in reply to jonbecker #
• @crafty184 @mwacker Yeah. @kadding is worried about that, too. Hmm. in reply to crafty184 #
• @crafty184 @mwacker Sure. But it's pretty sad that Google – a data company – doesn't have basic management tools for this stuff. in reply to crafty184 #
• @anterobot Sure. Registration info link on this post: http://t.co/qzu7YuGF in reply to anterobot #
• Looking forward to today's #CoLearning webinar on learning through simulations with Mike Vaughn. 3:30pm Mountain. http://t.co/xc8PMASv #
• Starting with Mike Vaughn on the #CoLearning Network in five minutes – talking games and simulations and learning. http://t.co/WleuqBsv #
• Mike builds simulations for corporations – but dreams about simulations in K-12. http:/connect.enetcolorado.org/colearn Hmm . . . #
• Mike's company – http://t.co/ZXrk0hK5 #colearning #
• "Educators and business folk "often speak past one another." There's a learning we need to explore later." – Mike http://t.co/WleuqBsv #
• Looking at a sim created for military and policy advisors to the President. http://t.co/WleuqBsv Huh. #
• @garystager Big? Me? Not so much. in reply to garystager #
• @garystager But I'm eager to get to CMK someday. in reply to garystager #
• @garystager That's a good mod. An I'm thinking about starting with articles and speeches. Actually, been reviewing a bunch of daily Papert. in reply to garystager #
• @kellie80 Indeed. How'd you resolve it? in reply to kellie80 #
• @kellie80 Yeah. I think we're in the same space. in reply to kellie80 #
• Two days of teacher research facilitation training begin tomorrow. Deep breath. #
• @Neilstephenson Co-facilitating. in reply to Neilstephenson #
• @kfasimpaur True that. in reply to kfasimpaur #
• A short post on our recent inquiry challenge meeting and some stuff I noticed while we were there. #workinprogress http://t.co/ajrPtcZu #
• @Neilstephenson We will be doing introductory work for teams conducting a study in their schools this year. I can provide more if . . . in reply to Neilstephenson #
• @Neilstephenson . . . that would be useful. in reply to Neilstephenson #
• @Neilstephenson Sure. Tied up until Friday. Perhaps then. Would like to know more about your inquiry coordinators. in reply to Neilstephenson #
• Just bought a copy of MarsEdit. Useful. #
• There is a dessert party in the lobby of my office right now. Dangerous. #
• Another me is doing quite well with his journalism endeavors. http://t.co/5Trx79rZ #
• @audreywatters @courosa @andycinek @funnymonkey Are y’all really giving that silly display airtime? in reply to audreywatters #
• @techsavvyed @audreywatters @courosa @andycinek @funnymonkey Sour grapes? in reply to techsavvyed #
• @techsavvyed @audreywatters @courosa @andycinek @funnymonkey Ah. in reply to techsavvyed #
• @audreywatters @techsavvyed Might as well start freaking out now. Why wait? in reply to audreywatters #
• If we could channel the investigative skills of folks hoping their iPhones will arrive Friday we could really get something important done. #
• Kicking off our 3rd cohort of DLC teacher researchers this morning with our friends from the CSU Writing Project. Good stuff ahead. #
• Talking about definitions of teacher research – "Sharing's a big part of this." #teacherresearch #
• Toby and Will. One fine writerly meetup. #
• Upgraded an iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 today. I think it might’ve gotten faster after. Pleasant surprise. #
• Now updating my collection of virtual machines. While waiting for a half dozen Apple software titles to download. That’ll take a while. #
• Day two of teacher research kickoff – exploring a sample study. Asking how our students will be partners in our research. #
• @dschoening @poh Are you assuming that reading digitally IS different? in reply to dschoening #
• @dschoening @poh There's lots of useful stuff out there, but wondering more specifically what you're looking for. in reply to dschoening #
• @dschoening @poh It does. I think there's lots of hype – but it depends on what you mean when you say "digital reading." in reply to dschoening #
• @dschoening @poh Let me do a little writing/tinkering on that and I'll get back soon. in reply to dschoening #
• If you're coming to our HackJam on Saturday, and we'd love to have you, you must RSVP ASAP. Thanks! Info here. http://t.co/qzu7YuGF #
• Spending some time now with the teacher research team talking about ethical considerations. #
• @dschoening Yeah. Those are useful names to start with. And a good example of the hype. Need to distinguish "distraction" "text" "format" in reply to dschoening #
• Doing lots of meeting lately. Not doing. Or making. Or writing. Meeting. #
• Prep day for our Hackjam tomorrow. Looking forward to it. #
• My pencils are sharp enough. #invocation #
• This sign, from the Denver Art Museum, is still one of my all time favorites. http://t.co/A5R0MRWG #
