@garystager @dlaufenberg And did you make sure you drew MY name from the basket? 😀 (I thought y'all had great fundraiser ideas, btw.) in reply to garystager #
@jeffk8 Have a great day back in the world of normal! Thanks for everything. Heard your name mentioned in convos often. Well done. in reply to jeffk8 #
@fitzwalsh Had a thought re: biz model. How about a Reggio style 'store' for recycled craft materials? http://www.resourcerescue.com.au #
@fitzwalsh AND it would be the maker supply place for school projects. Not sure if could generate enough income. Thoughts? #
@jeffk8 I cheated and took today off! Still in Philly. Heading to airport this afternoon. 😉 in reply to jeffk8 #

Time to focus on #edbookclub here for a bit before I leave Philly. Head is still spinning from all the #educon thinking. #
This whole theme of too much knowledge reminds me of Crossed by @allycondie (YA alternate reality fiction). Scary results. #edbookclub #
@annmic Ha! In my hotel lobby…. want me to come over now? in reply to annmic #
In Crossed, the "Society" gets rid of all books, etc. except for the "100 Poems" and "100 Art Pieces". Creepy. #edbookclub #
@annmic I'll get my stuff consolidated and head that way. in reply to annmic #
I'm at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) (8500 Essington Ave., Philadelphia) w/ 71 others http://t.co/9HrLA4Bf #

In one of the videos that @garystager showed at #educon the teacher left the students w/the comment "play with that idea" for HW. #edchat #
@JessMcG1018 Not a fan. I've finally detoxed my kids from clock watching when reading- took 9 mos. Timed reading= kills joy. #edchat in reply to JessMcG1018 #
@fereydoon1975 I bet you provide some shows to watch too! Great idea. #edchat in reply to fereydoon1975 #

@TeachingTrisha You're hilarious. Aren't you the one making the big bucks? in reply to TeachingTrisha #
@cfanch We managed to save something for next year! #educon2 5date in reply to cfanch #
@cfanch Yeah, well, I've been sitting here with my dh looking at ISTE and CMK this summer… big bucks. And grad school. in reply to cfanch #
@cfanch Hey, is the PBL chat primarily New Tech folks, or does it include other project base folks? Lots of HS teachers, I think. in reply to cfanch #
@cfanch Oh, and I'm trying to plan a trip to Oz too. Gotta see my friends @eccajoy @MitchSquires and @whatedsaid in reply to cfanch #

@milobo New link? that one is not happy. 🙂 in reply to milobo #
@jrichardson30 I really think parents need to just refuse to play en masse. What can the schools do then? Change. in reply to jrichardson30 #
@jrichardson30 After seeing the damage to students and the whole building learning enviro, I think opting out is not optional. 🙂 in reply to jrichardson30 #
@milobo better! That last one was linking to the C drive for some reason…. in reply to milobo #

@katpam3 I know it's trouble. I caused a minor panic when I 'threatened' it last year. I know there are many related funding issues. in reply to katpam3 #
@jrichardson30 @katpam3 Ask your kids how much of their tech time is test prep too. I spent upwards of 40% time giving predictive tests. in reply to jrichardson30 #
@katpam3 @jrichardson30 It's just sad for everyone involved, from admin to teachers to students. Breaks my heart. 😦 Honest. in reply to katpam3 #
@jrichardson30 @katpam3 I would hope so. But I don't have data to back that up. (I said the d-word!) Is socio-econ more an indicator? in reply to jrichardson30 #
