Wow- EdNewsCO is just full of the Doug Co Voucher debate recently. #
Having Canadian & US time zones discussions with a few students…. Good morning @MitchSquires ! #
@MitchSquires Why, yes! We can celebrate for you again tomorrow. 😀 in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires And I meant to add Aussie time zones too… kids are getting their heads around what time looks like in different places. in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires They just left- but that would have been cool! Thanks for offering, tho. It was the tomorrow bit that really got them… LOL in reply to MitchSquires #
@TeachingTrisha YES! Earliest would be 4:30p. Great idea, Trish. in reply to TeachingTrisha #
Dear Filter Override, so nice to see you yet again today. Must we keep meeting like this? #
The ARD "Users losed unsaved changes" radio button rocks. I can turn off all 31 computers, even if KidPix is still running! #
@tomwhitby Interviewed at one of those a few wks ago- got roasted for my unhomework philo. They give 1 hr/night at 4th grd. #edchat in reply to tomwhitby #
@stumpteacher My most unfavorite teacher response? "I didn't have time to get to it in class, so I sent it home." Say wha? #edchat in reply to stumpteacher #
@lisamonthie My daughter takes care of that… does the first two lines right & then counts up "11, 12, 13, 14, 15…" LOL Not good.#edchat in reply to lisamonthie #
Homework takes 30-40% of student family time in the evening. Chores, dinner, homework. When do they play? #edchat #
Would love to see HW as website explorations to intro topic- games, interactives, videos. Interesting & fun. Accessibility issues. #edchat #
@MeganLearner @kylepace Really? Have 4 kids-'focus' means our family does NOTHING at PM but stupid packets & dinner. Not happening. #edchat in reply to MeganLearner #
@davidwees Standing applause from my corner of the school. #edchat in reply to davidwees #
Love. This. RT @geraldaungst: Here's a radical idea. Instead of reducing homework, reduce lectures, then do the HW in school. #edchat #
@RickTanski Was in Mike's session at #colearning Loved it. Khan content is a stretch for elem right now. 😉 #edchat in reply to RickTanski #
Whoa! Ed Chat is blazing this morning….. anytime you mention that "homework" word…. watch out! 😀 #

@4thGrdTeach I'm giving my students writing prompts to blog about, and only about 5-10 min to write. Asking too much? Only have 30 min. #
Any #tsdr2j peeps heading to #tie2011 ? Gasping at the $325, but would be cool to hear @irasocol . Spoiled by all the free & online confs. #

@michellek107 That was @ktenkely 's tweet to you originally…. 🙂 Don't wanna steal her thunder. Great to have her as a PLN resource, eh? in reply to michellek107 #
Can I get off the interview bandwagon now? Just one inquiry-based, tech-infused school… one teaching job will suffice. Take 5 tomorrow. #
