@pernilleripp Have you seen this Tuck study guide? http://t.co/u5dg1Vh #glread11 #
@pernilleripp Nevermind- just realized you must have because it's on the wiki! #glread11 #
Schools, please double check the schedules you post. Parents schedule costly appointments around them, and end up paying fees or missing #
@keinath congrats! in reply to keinath #
I heart the folks at @YourPrsnlSchool . Seriously. Everytime we talk, they share ideas about something they have read or heard. #PDforReal #

@monk51295 so good to have you back! in reply to monk51295 #
Had the best day today- talking with @monk51295 and @YourPrsnlSchool . What a synergistic, awesome year this will be! #
Spent 6 hours getting @edmodo and Edublogs fully set up this afternoon. Admins/teachers trained & excited. Me too. #
@michellek107 No, unfortunately- will have to be next week. Dh had a work emergency & can't watch our kiddos. 😦 in reply to michellek107 #
@michellek107 Yep- I'll have a back-up plan in place next week. 😉 Just didn't think it was necessary. Now I know it is. in reply to michellek107 #
@wrightsroom Sorry- need to delete that other Twitter account from TweetDeck. If you're still available to Skype, my id is julieofarc. #
@wrightsroom Must have missed you today- let me know if you wanted a different time. I thought it was 2p. 😉 #

@wrightsroom Is this the Inquiry stuff you were mentioning? http://t.co/9qfFYH4 #
Watching Guys and Dolls with the family. Show choir kiddo may be trying out for a part this year. #
@wrightsroom Would LOVE that. 🙂 Can't wait until school starts! in reply to wrightsroom #
@MitchSquires When is school out for you? November? Would like to do some collab thing in Edmodo w/ my 3/4/5 kids if possible… #
Planning roll-out order of @edmodo , @symbaloo, @edublogs and Google Docs. Current plan is Edmodo first, then Symbaloo, then Docs & blogs. #
@MitchSquires Don't have a plan. 🙂 Isn't that your job? Ideas: US Hist vs. AU Hist comparison, CO/NSW comparison, science something, etc. in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires Maybe even just a local learning thing…. pics from our area/stores/school/cars and yours? Kid size demographics. in reply to MitchSquires #
@MitchSquires Good- although the haze ideas might be more fun. 😀 #
@pernilleripp Thx for organizing #glread11 . I'm using it to ground the 3rd-5th before they break out into their indiv work. #
@karlfisch You're welcome… will send our HS kids there when school starts too. Are they using Blogger via Google Apps or independent? in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch I have K-8 using EduBlogs, but will probably give HS the choice. Any thoughts on that? in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch What happens if they have blogs they want to keep when they graduate? Can you release the Blogger ones to their non-school gmail? in reply to karlfisch #
Why is it that I STILL have to look up the html code for putting links in comments? I've done it hundreds of times…. #mommybrain #

@eccajoy Wow- the surprises me! And makes me feel better because you're such a smart lady… thank goodness that #googleneverforgets ! in reply to eccajoy #
8 W's of Information Inquiry http://t.co/GRfe9eP #
@karlfisch I remember that post! 😉 Was hoping you had an update on that. I should mock up moving a blog out and see what happens. in reply to karlfisch #
@MitchSquires Too cute! We're non-partisan when it comes to CO colleges, but if you're talking Oklahoma ones…. look out! #osucowboys in reply to MitchSquires #
@eccajoy Couldn't imagine you letting your kids do that at their ages, but ya never know. Could've been an insane familiy hobby. in reply to eccajoy #
@budtheteacher True. I know WP doesn't export links. (Consequently I'm rebuilding links for 5 blogs right now in edublogs.) Does Blogger? in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher @karlfisch Also, the Blogger TOS says must be over 13 (even w/in Apps for Ed). True? I need Edublogs for under 13's, yes? #
@budtheteacher Blogroll links…. some of them were pretty extensive. Aren't included in WP Export feature. in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher @karlfisch Exporting still issue with incoming links being broken- breaks connection. I know you know this. Bears repeating. in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher Ah, now that's an idea for sure. Hadn't thought of that as a solution! Wouldn't work for website links. Thanks for the input. in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher @karlfisch Dealing w/that right now personally. It's a mess. I'm actually creating work in unconnected, open spaces this time in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher @karlfisch Then, my digital files/work stay with me, not connected to an 'employer'. Turning old WPMU install off in Sept. in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher @karlfisch Is it an ownership question? If we assumed meaningful, extended learning connections with every site/blog? in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher @karlfisch Do teachers keep their lesson plans when they leave a District? Or knowledge they've gained? Seems like same goes. in reply to budtheteacher #
@budtheteacher And when said work is open on the web, it's generally free for others to re-mix/re-use. Just remixing my own stuff now. in reply to budtheteacher #
@karlfisch That's actually frightening. I feel like no one owns my brain, esp. when I learned/planned on my own time as hourly employee. in reply to karlfisch #
@karlfisch Wow… interesting & terrifying to even consider the ramifications of that statement. in reply to karlfisch #
@wmchamberlain @karlfisch There's a plan I can get behind… thanks for sharing that. I like the CC option. Solves myriad future issues. in reply to wmchamberlain #
@wmchamberlain And it's not a big thing- generally I'm in the business of remixing or introducing things anyhow, not copyright ready work. in reply to wmchamberlain #
@wmchamberlain You'll have to let us know if you go ahead w/the publishing. I love learning/gleaning from educators. 🙂 in reply to wmchamberlain #
@wmchamberlain Love my ex-district- still volunteering there in the afternoons, and believe in what they are doing. Shared connections. in reply to wmchamberlain #
@wmchamberlain Imagine that! Time as a limited commodity!!! 😉 Love the llama pic on your blog, btw. Hilarious. in reply to wmchamberlain #
@val6dan @budtheteacher To clarify,my 'plans' are more collections of links / resources that anyone could find online. Can you own curating? #
@val6dan I was just going to ping you to ask, Val. Glad you answered that question. How does work created on own time figure in? Curious. in reply to val6dan #
@MathEdnet Thanks- again, interesting and scary stuff. Who owns my brain? 🙂 in reply to MathEdnet #
@val6dan @MathEdnet @budtheteacher Wondering how fair use comes into play in this 'lesson plan ownership' idea too. http://t.co/T2oQR58 #
@MathEdnet My dh is an engineer, and look long and hard at the IP agreements he signs. I assumed edu was about open collab/sharing. in reply to MathEdnet #
It's great to have a teenager in the house… he fixed my iTunes syncing issues in about 30 seconds! Now he gets to move all the pics over. #
