@Thien724 Thanks, Steph. Please know that any frustration you hear in my words is due to the situation and my wish that I had prevented it. in reply to Thien724 #
@Thien724 But I also think there's some hubris in my even saying that- some of this stuff w/social media is out of our control if we use it. in reply to Thien724 #
Well, that application is done too. Now I wait. And make decisions. #
@MitchSquires This is when I'm glad we're GMT -7. 😀 Have a great Monday! in reply to MitchSquires #

@bhwilkoff Thanks, Ben. Still working through all of this- my part, their part, how to 'fix' for next time, better educate, learn, etc. in reply to bhwilkoff #
@4thGrdTeach As long as you reveal them to us, too! in reply to 4thGrdTeach #
1 visit to the doctor, 2 positive strep tests, waiting for the other 4 in family to complain of sore throats. #sickdayforkids #
@MitchSquires Can you send a few questions for my kids to answer in blog posts? They're floundering & I want posting to be their choice. #
@MitchSquires Thinking if they have some real-world questions to answer for an audience, they might get going. in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires Questions for them to post about. Then I can say you want to know….. 😀 in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires I find the 'assignment' ones aren't as authentic, you know? in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires SWEET! Even better!!! in reply to MitchSquires #

@ShellTerrell Thanks for the video shout-out. These have been so timely for me- I appreciate you offering the #30goals #
@andrea_r Is there a way to cross post between two different installations? (From my teacher blog in MU to my professional self-hosted) #
@TeachingTrisha here's the tutorials link http://bit.ly/czX0W7 … it's also on my lab page, for future reference http://bit.ly/fYxdag #
@andrea_r I just found this XPost plugin that crossposts w/ XML-RPC http://bit.ly/hoUk7Y but still having XML-RPC issues like w/iOS. in reply to andrea_r #
@ShellTerrell I'm starting to record weekly videos for my students… YouTube=blocked…. would you put up on Vimeo? What's my alternative? #
RT @kylepace: #Edchat starts in 1 hour: In order to reform ed, we need to change the culture. What steps do we need to take to begin? #
Instead of a straight upload via phone to YouTube, I'm having to sync/download/upload/wait to Vimeo for at school. #soooofrustrating #
Trying to use Twitterfall again tonight for Edchat. We'll see how long that lasts…. creature of habit (aka TweetDeck). #
@literacyspark But teachers have to act like professionals- own their own learning, etc. #edchat in reply to literacyspark #
Yep- transparency. RT @ksivick: Steps to begin change.-> #1 change your classroom and invite others in Build a following . #edchat #
Transparency & humility. RT @4thGrdTeach: We also need to be able to admit our own mistakes and failures and change them #edchat #
Build a culture of teachers as learners… no more "think-pair-share", gallery walk, etc. PD. Authentic learning together. #edchat #
Finding Edchat frustrating this evening- the issue of changing culture is such a hard thing… you can't make others change. They choose it. #
@ProjectPLN Do you have a topic set for the next issue? Care to share? #
I subscribed to historyteachers's channel on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/historyteachers?feature=autoshare #
I uploaded a YouTube video — Mrs. C Chat 2/8/11 http://youtu.be/nRm_hm2qe78?a #
@MitchSquires Did you do the MindMeister as a class? Do you have an IWB or projector? http://bit.ly/hM2ikd #
Just learned about Wylio: fastest photo finder for bloggers via @wfryer http://wylio.com/ #
I was just wondering the same!! RT @courosa: Is there a way to disable deck.ly – i want to be constrained. I don't like this new affordance. #
@MitchSquires @web20classroom @michellek107 Thanks for the encouragement and for sharing #
@MitchSquires We're thinking about your questions, Year 3! Blog posts to follow soon. http://bit.ly/fXqN3o #
It amazes me that students spend more time on 'free day' watching others to make sure they're not missing something than they do PLAYING! #
Dear TweetDeck, get rid of the deck.ly ASAP. Yuck. #
@wylio Your site is amazing. Wondering if there is any kind of filtering on what comes up in searches? #
@MitchSquires Sounds great! Will get my kids on the blogging wagon, I think. With a purpose to communicate to you guys! 3S rocks. in reply to MitchSquires #
Major brain flash- use PhotoBooth to talk about Symmetry. it's such an intuitive way to talk about that, and fun too! #
Dear Thursday Google Reader Folder, thank you for only having 26 posts. And Friday, I'll deal with your 100+ tomorrow! #
Registration is still open for #colearning on Feb. 26th in Loveland, CO. Join us…. http://bit.ly/aSff8L #
@mwacker The title of your #colearning session= awesomeness http://bit.ly/gaTs9Z #
@ktenkely Yep- just sent out about 15 reminder emails… a few to whole buildings. "#colearning is right in your backyard! Free. Awesome." in reply to ktenkely #
@berkshirecat Converse is also true. If they love a teacher, they'll love that subject forever. 🙂 Maybe in spite of future teachers. in reply to berkshirecat #
@berkshirecat I think I would say, it's a real problem when teachers don't turn the learning ON. 🙂 in reply to berkshirecat #
@mwacker Wouldn't miss #colearning 😀 in reply to mwacker #
Start from the learning by @whatedsaid http://bit.ly/gyqhAf cc/@MitchSquires #

@ejulez Do we need to make some sort of Julie's-won't-cave-and-buy-before-ipad2 pact? 😀 in reply to ejulez #
@whatedsaid I am very excited! There's a new PYP school opening near me- applying for a co-teacher position today. 🙂 http://bit.ly/9lcasy #
@whatedsaid Thanks! I'll need lots of PYP training & resources if this comes to fruition- but I know how to LEARN. 😀 in reply to whatedsaid #
Dear Skype via @ttthhhxxx http://bit.ly/f56ulr 🙂 #

Son reading Pooh to me before bed leads to this. http://j.mp/gWHnPN #
Well, SBPS is a no for next year. Got my "Dear Julie" letter in the mail today. #
Nothing like last minute Valentine shopping with 4 kids…. Target, here we come. #
@MrArakaki Nope. Surprisingly little stuff for Target. Although, I finally bought a laptop cooling base. Purple. 😀 in reply to MrArakaki #
Guess what came in the mail today… http://yfrog.com/gy7e1qoj #
Love this B-you company. Bought these pop beads for my classroom. http://bit.ly/fFhpyk #
Always know it's my 11 yog texting when the pop-up box is almost as large as the screen. She's not into text speak yet, which is awesome. #
@eccajoy @MitchSquires Thanks… it was a long time coming! 😀 Glad to have that piece of paper. #
