@SELeakey ¡Sí! Muchas gracias. 😀 Now I really gotta pay attention. Skype? #

@silvergirl60 Watch "Twitter in Plain English" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idmax0o #
Okay, so the new twitter is freaking me out a bit…. it shows YouTube videos on the side…. that's cool, but strange. Poor Tweetdeck. #
@edmodo The roster attendance/notes feature in @schoology rocks, as well as their quiz stuff. Both a feature request, please. 😀 #
@courosa Can you do that in @schoology ? If so, that's amazing. Right now, I use folders for content, and assignment dates on the calendar. in reply to courosa #

@ScottElias what do you think OmniFocus does that Toodledo won't? in reply to ScottElias #
