@dlnorman Looks like I'm already booked. And, yeah, it's like flying to Europe. #
Ah, just noticed that @gardnercampbell and @cablegreen are both speaking at #ITC12 next month. Excellent. #
@dlnorman Just 2 days. #
@sophlevv Totally bummed about that sesh. #
Why am I feeling like my nook is the Palm of ereaders? #
Ugh, no ideas but mebe I can look, did you search the wordpress forums? #
@ninnypants Yeah, that was for @diamond_mind #
Interesting what different people focus in on when introducing me to a group. #
Just got an earful about the ANGEL-to-Canvas migration tool… an earful of praise! Go @brackenm #
@giuliaforsythe They might as well have said, Jared prefers argyle socks and brushes his teeth x2 a day. #
Simple but awesome Canvas use: students screen grab to clipboard, paste into assignment (or quiz) submission) = proof of task completion. #
@mattmcghie No. Freaking. Way. SFII excluded, Spy Hunter is my all time favorite quarter muncher. #
Utah Moves to Open Textbooks | iterating toward openness http://t.co/sXOrdlwy via @Diigo #
10 New Open Source Projects You May Not Know About | PCWorld http://t.co/I3bGrQ2J (including Instructure Canvas) #
You know you have too many tabs open when scrolling to the end makes you dizzy. #
@eMusicHelps Hey, I just reactivated, but neither of hte albums I just bought are downloaded/downloading. And now i have to rebuy? #
Rejoined emusic, and 10 minutes later I already want to quit. #
Late January lunch hour skating? In Utah? Yep. #
My 2yo has figured out the iPad, on her own. #
@injenuity It's crazy, I almost never use the iPad (it's for demos), but she's discovered how to find Pingu on Netflix. #
@injenuity Oh my, that video is hilarious. #
@injenuity Awesome! #
Do I even bother calling Comcast? Avg d/u speeds for the last 24 hrs at 1.5/0.6mbps #
@Comcastbill @ComcastMichael Well, my connection's been slow as molasses the last 24 hrs. It's usually not peppy, but this is awful. #
@injenuity Thanks for the tip! I'll try. #
@ComcastMichael Thanks man. LMK #
@ComcastMichael Any idea of what speeds I should be expecting for my area? #
@ComcastMichael Wait, you're kidding. I thought I was at 5/1.5 or something #

There are a number of things that come naturally to me in writing. Humor is not one of them. #
For those interested in how I've been spending January weekends (skating aside): http://t.co/SqJejo5o #
My draft Canvas blog post on keeping it simple in desperate need of simplification. #
Looking forward to joining friends and colleagues at ITC eLearning 2012 month. #
One of the best parts of the semester is when my students start making blog posts. #
5.5 is the only one I can dl, so unless you have a copy… #
Canadian friends: is it best to fly into Edmonton to get to Calgary? #
@brlamb Yeah, I don't know why our agent recommended Edmonton. But I've never flown into that part of Canada. #
@sleslie @brlamb Thanks guys, I'll push for that. #
@sleslie @dlnorman ; #
@diamond_mind Did you serenade him with La Bamba? #
Slice the bananas right onto the buttered griddle. Lay that pancake batter all over the top. #
I wasn't that impressed with the new iBooks 2 textbook samples… until I began looking at existing K12 digital publisher content. #
Still, that $500 iPad does quite a lot to offset the bargain of a $15 textbook. #
@holden Someone needs to build a brilliant, usable, epub creator to support OER textbook projects. W(w)iki-books are not competitive. #

OLPC and Marvell Introduce XO 3.0 Tablet for Education Purposes – X-bit labs http://t.co/6aNxPdS6 via @Diigo #
@diamond_mind And that’s _exactly_ the kind of book I would be writing. #
Fellow desert-dwellers: cure for perpetually dry eyeballs? #
New Kepi Ghoulie album, “I Bleed Rock N Roll” http://t.co/oj4rPgoF #
Every time we implement a scheduled 2-week Canvas cloud update, I get all tingly. Continual, iterative improvements ftw. #
@marionjensen Best Answer Ever. #
@injenuity You _must_ have photoshopped that. The texture of the sky is crazy. #
@giuliaforsythe I think I have my watercolor subject for Saturday. #
@injenuity I know, I was being sarcastic. #
@giuliaforsythe I just started this year. #
@giuliaforsythe Not yet. I’ve literally been doing it for 2 weeks, and have maybe a handful of exercises. Now, where do you post yours? #
Oh man, how did I survive before adding Gmail’s Send and Archive lab mod? #
Speaking of watercolor, very excited about a block of envelope-sized 140lb paper that I picked up today, perfect for postal mailing. #
@giuliaforsythe Awesome, thanks for sharing! I’m trying to do 2 a weekend, just to get the practice in. May have to post some tonight. #
@giuliaforsythe seriously. It’s on my quota for the weekend. #

Jared Stein — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:49:00 +0000

@brlamb Hah, oh I better not be! #
@lottruminates I liked Cacoo and Mind42. Still like Bubbl.us for real concept mapping. #
Bb disclaimer: "the term ‘openness’ means different things to different people…" http://t.co/8FwhFgjN #
New Instructure offices are appropriately Awesome. #
@injenuity I ♥ usability testing. Last year I paid students with Jamba Juice cards. I think people like to help tech improve. #
@skydaddy To make new friends. AKA colleagues. #
@kylemathews Ooh, you're making a gtd app? Is that because you were so underwhelmed by wunderlist? ;) #
@robmba To be fair, I can get creative with application of the word "open" , too. But only after fully exhausting the meaningful definition. #
@injenuity Uh oh. But I can fix that… stay tuned. #
@kylemathews Yes I Do. #
@stevehargadon The institution/teacher/textbook is no longer the primary source of authoritative info. #detche2011 #
@xolotl @stevehargadon I'd suspect it is, if only because I see no other recent cultural phenomenon that has affected change in ed. #
@sleslie #occupyslesliesaquarium #
@jjulius Technology doesn't reify ed practices, but teachers/admins sure do! (But reverse is true for ed change, right?) #
Sfard's acquisition vs participation metaphors of learning resonate with @stevehargadon's list of cultural shifts. #detche2011 #
@jjulius I like your acknowledgement of (some kind of) balance of power between the tool and the user. #detche2011 #
@xolotl History of radio? Oh man, you're going to have to elaborate on that! #
Have to disagree that the uniqueness of the on-campus university experience is not expendable/replaceable. #detche2011 #
@stevehargadon Nice job on the #detche2011 keynote. Refreshing and useful message. #
Dinner at Lori's Diner in downtown SFO: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, chocolate soda. #
Presuming this isn't just a gimmick, the summary looks awesome: "Aligning quantum perspective of learning to ID" http://t.co/kg9olweR #
Phil Hall's mid-term post on Instructure Canvas's Securus Global security testing: http://t.co/ElcRouej #
Check out "Nobody Likes You (When You're Dead)" by Zombina and the Skeletones – http://t.co/JfVGdBdZ #
Poltergeist noises coming from my hotel room minibar. #

@passiontask Definitely appropriating, with references to Csikszentmihalyi. (Do you actually /type/ the accents?) in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask I will, eventually–my reading list has grown long. At a glance, the appropriation does not impress me as, er, appropriate. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Those accents were just another nail in my ego's coffin yesterday. I figured myself sharp that I could /spell/ his name. in reply to passiontask #
Discussed efficiency strategies for Zotero references and PDF attachments with Seth G. Conclusion: the slow way is the only way. #
@passiontask Oh, that's right: who needs memory when we have Google? in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Speaking of which, have you read Carr's "The Shallows"? in reply to passiontask #
RT @xolotl via @sleslie Dear Faculty: All those courses you are so worried about migrating suck. Love, @xolotl #
@passiontask A great combination of readings, I think. We'll chat about the two in November maybe? in reply to passiontask #
Mock usability studies in today's live session of DGM 2740 proved (1) power of real user observation, & (2) the power of ambiguous scenarios #
@passiontask Agreed, though many would presume that's contradictory. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Right, and that /could/ requires a gamble, and even if it pays out, is the cost acceptable? in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Yes indeed, but isn't there a middle path? At least for a little while? in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Funny you should mention that… But I'm only on the wait list. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask It can't be a holding pattern for anyone; it must be a conscious recognition of situation with application of strategies. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask Pecha Kucha #WCET10 with a related topic. But I'm betting I won't make it through the wait list. in reply to passiontask #
@passiontask No rigging it! in reply to passiontask #
RT @barrydahl: I don't see his name anywhere, but this is @Downes , right? The new D2L unknown comic? http://bit.ly/dvkKIB #

@kenwoodward There's a long-term vacation opening over in my new unit… in reply to kenwoodward #
@kenwoodward You know it! Actually, I meant "long-term vacation" from your /current/ job. Work in higher ed's not /that/ easy… in reply to kenwoodward #
@brlamb Only suggestion is to make implicit ideas more explicit, e.g. design specifically for untethered activities, authentic/relevant, etc in reply to brlamb #
@brlamb Then I have accomplished something useful today. In either case. in reply to brlamb #
As I taught a f2f class for the 1st time in 2 years realized I have to compete with Facebook with either carrot or stick. Or else not care. #

@robmba Thanks for the tip! in reply to robmba #
RT @diamond_mind: @jstein will like this explanation of a phd http://bit.ly/be7PQw (It's true!) #
At Blackboard demo hearing the few things LMS /should/ be good at (user tracking, notification, recursive sequencing) are still in infancy. #
Blackboard rep laments "not having a fancy tv commercial" to bring their message together in a compelling way. #
@melaniemcbride I'll ask… in reply to melaniemcbride #
I really hope each LMS gets the same privilege of tapping the Consortium's brains for how to best fulfill the RFP that Blackboard is… #
Found P Slade's page on British broadsides via @bryanalexander's post on Victorian hoaxes (http://bit.ly/cWtTUo) Love this internet thing… #
@kylemathews Digitally controlled branching and recursive learning paths based on metadata/assessment outcomes. (or intelligent "tutoring") in reply to kylemathews #
@kylemathews A few bookmarks re branching here: http://bit.ly/97XyRm in reply to kylemathews #
@skydaddy UVU's prof. Ron Hammond wrote 2 CC licensed sociology textbooks because of this sort of absurdity. in reply to skydaddy #
Failed to notice that frontman Kepi Ghoulie kept on rockin' after the 2007 dissolution of Groovie Ghoulies. 3 albums queued for download… #
Have new project management software narrowed down to ClockingIT (feature-laden, free/open source) and GoPlan (easier, but costs). #
@kylemathews e.g. automated mastery learning scenarios–revisit info based on assessment, alter path based of formative feedback, etc. in reply to kylemathews #
@kylemathews Oh, and for the record: I see it only as a "requirement" because it follows the nature of the LMS. Not required of e-learning.. in reply to kylemathews #

Twitter posts for the week

@qadmon People I've talked to at #ITC10 loved your insights into the open course you taught. Thanks again for the interview! in reply to qadmon #
Hacked away at 5 postcards tonight for my #motleyread friends. #
@diamond_mind Sorry man, wish you'd stayed over another night for #ITC10. in reply to diamond_mind #
@fncll Where are you at? Some alien world with bizarre but pleasantly catalystic recipes? in reply to fncll #
With the possibility of snow in Fort Worth overnight, I'm risking my safety to skate these Texas streets One Last Time. #
@fncll My uncle Rock-N-Ron lives in Anchorage. in reply to fncll #
@fncll But (I meant to type) I've never had a chance to visit. Cool city? #
@fncll I probably mentioned it in a past conversation; you know, I have very little to reference re. Alaska! in reply to fncll #
@BryanAlexander Ugetsu is so brilliant–and creepy! in reply to BryanAlexander #
Because I know I won't blog about it: places I ate in Ft Worth: Risky's BBQ, Cowtown Diner, Flying Saucer, Corner Bakery, and Jakes. #
Too dark and too cold to skate safely tonight! Looking forward to some early a.m. breakfast before @nancywhite's #ITC10 keynote. #
I love the narrative approach in presentations–it's almost always captivating. Go @nancywhite! #ITC10 #
@BryanAlexander Ooh, thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it. in reply to BryanAlexander #
@jonmott Amen. in reply to jonmott #
Hi mom! #ITC10 #
To manage "through technology or through process"? (Applies to netiquette, cheating, and more.) #ITC10 #
I dig that PowerPoint Auto Tweet. #
As an undergrad a forward-thinking English lit prof complemented class discussions with threaded discussions back in 1998. #ITC10 #
"Don't invest in something so big that if it fails, it's catastrophic." @nancywhite #ITC10 (LMS, anyone?) #
I think this intermittent showing of the Twitter backchannel stirs audience attention, refocuses. #ITC10 #
Though the emphasis has been on Twitter, great that @nancywhite stll asks for spontaneous oral feedback from the audience. #ITC10 #
.@richardleslie It's an app for Windows PPT called SAP http://www.sapweb20.com/blog/powerpoint-twitter-tools/ #
Love the reminder to go kinesthetic–even if you're not a so-called kinesthetic learner. Thanks, @nancywhite #ITC10 #
Some great /and/s rather than /or/s, e.g. "perform /and/ 'on the side'" @nancywhite #ITC10 #
I want to advance the use of tools to foster deep, reflective thinking rather than quick, reactionary thinking. #ITC10 #
@fncll You'll be happy to know that @nancywhite is modeling the practice _well_. #ITC10 All these great models emerging stokes me. in reply to fncll #
"I would never /not/ show up for a walk with my friend, but when she was out of town I wouldn't walk." @nancywhite on power of social #ITC10 #
@fncll I gotta say I think the Boyd example is still important by comparison. The more models–good /and/ foul–the better! #ITC10 in reply to fncll #
Also dig @nancywhite's consistent use of yoga imagery. What a great theme for a great talk! Thanks #ITC10 #
@fncll OK, OK, I was /just/ thinking the same thing! But you know as I do, reactionary thinking can be embarrassing. It does feed the fire.. in reply to fncll #
Too much in-fighting, backstabbing, nitpicking–general negativity amongst certain people… grumble>grumble #
@busynessgirl Check out, at least, slow-blogging. And couldn't that also be the impetus for ideas of performance-based progression in K12? in reply to busynessgirl #
@cogdog Here in Ft Worth it's already around 20*F–yesterday I couldn't wear a jacket. Here's hoping my flight escapes the storm. in reply to cogdog #
Any #ITC10 folks heading out to the airport today between 4 and 5pm? #
@sleslie I'm testing Instructure out this semester with one of my online courses. in reply to sleslie #
@sleslie Yeah, I've made one post so far on an interesting feature. in reply to sleslie #
@mweisman Add another $5 for a photo op and flickr upload. #
Had one #ITC10 attendee tell me @diamond_mind and I were too hard on Bb and the LMS; another that we weren't hard enough! #
5 higher ed Q's from @jonmott: Who do we serve? What do we provide? How do we self-assess? Best way to provide? Best way to organize? #
@fncll Quote of the day, my friend, qotd. in reply to fncll #
RT @fncll Err on side of caution. There's no danger of too LITTLE LMS use and a lot of danger in how it retards Instructional Design #itc10 #
"You can only Daniel Larusso the students for so long." @opencontent #byu2sigma #
@kylemathews Grab me a couple stickers! in reply to kylemathews #
Persisting question: is Bloom's 2 sigma problem/challenge still critical, or is it futile? #byu2sigma #
Persisting q2: has tech morphed and culture changed so radically that we have to discard/rethink our perspectives on learning? #byu2sigma #
@kenwoodward Because you know I'm going to ask you to brainstorm html template changes with me. in reply to kenwoodward #
@opencontent If we had no designated parties, would that help? Or hurt? in reply to opencontent #
@jonmott Surprised at the limits of some of the choices. No libertarian or socialist options for politics? in reply to jonmott #
I scored 63/100 on the Pew Research Center How Millennial Are You? Quiz http://pewresearch.org/millennials/quiz #
Debriefing after simulations accentuates learning through reflection as objectives are solidified. #iptseminar #
@jonmott Me? I just made up the answers and looked confident… in reply to jonmott #
@sleslie Thanks for posting this; it makes me feel like my day is not so confused after all… in reply to sleslie #
RT @sleslie this is really funny, sort of like the Abbott & Costello of Ontology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ujpzdeolA #
2nd semester in a row where I've been asked to take over a class for another instructor mid-semester. #
@fncll Sounds like my kinda day! If you're unlucky, you'll be back to strike mode by 10pm. in reply to fncll #
@mikhailg That's actually what got me into the Pixies in college (that and a fanatic girlfriend). in reply to mikhailg #
I thought I misheard NPR referring to Charles Dodgson as "Arthur". Guess not: http://bit.ly/dc5hvd #
@davecormier Hey, I /wish/ my French was anywhere near as good as yours. in reply to davecormier #
RT @ttix Don't forget: #TTIX 2010 call for proposals is now open at http://ttix.org TTIX 2010 runs June 9-11 in Salt Lake City. #
With no other classes to take this Spring, looks like I've got to bite the bullet and get into remedial stats. #
@diamond_mind I still don't think I'd make The Dude's team. in reply to diamond_mind #
Watching $JST like a hawk… (didn't realize $ was for stocks!) #
Working in an old PHP/MySQL system that I'd built (probably 10 yrs ago). It's not good, but it still works. #
IRS sent me a letter saying I made an error on my return by refusing a govmt handout. Deposited it in my account anyway. #
Fridays always end up a gruesome battle against the Dark Reinforcement Troops of Email. #
Jumping in as teacher for someone else's course mid-stream is chaotic, but forces me to consider weird ways to assess. #
Hard to admit it, but @kenwoodward and I spent an hour going in circles over a basic misunderstanding of SRC. #

@NancyWhite I finally can take a breath and send out some #motleyread postcards. I have a dozen that need to be written and mailed. in reply to NancyWhite #
@fncll You're there in spirit, though we cut my Descartes bit that was inspired by your #TTIX talk. in reply to fncll #
Before I forget, a big Texas thanks to @jonmott, @jimgroom, @twoodwar, and @qadmon for really making the substance of our #ITC10 pres. #
At #ITC10 @jimgroom takes the stage. It's an early a.m. sermon; hope the congregation is alert. #
Listening in on their conversation explains why there's only one other person sitting at @diamond_mind and @johnkrutsch's table… #ITC10 #
"In the beginning… we had centralized IT….on the 4th day, the LMS" –@jimgroom #ITC10 #
Oh man, STEAMROLLED by an impromptu choir of @jimgroom fans! #ITC10 #
It's true: academia is pretty arrogant if we think students come to us for their identity. #
"We don't need an institution; we just need a website" (@jimgroom re. http://www.khanacademy.org/) #ITC10 #
We need more great Wikipedia class projects, more people modeling what's possible. #ITC10 #
Glad @jimgroom's explaining the feed syndication/aggregation method–lots of people still don't fully understand the power of FEED #ITC10 #
"When you do things on the open web, a certain number of things happen that you can't predict." @jimgroom #ITC10 #
"Open by default…really makes a big difference in how faculty understand their work" @jimgroom #
Funny: @jimgroom talking about dept's running a blog–at #UVU IT was pretty scared of WPMU for this reason, replacing campus CMS. #ITC10 #
Yeah, @jimgroom and I both wonder why it seems to be that students (w/out blogs) choose the institutional blog over options on the open web. #
@twoodwar You /were/ here! Everyone loved your part! But yeah, looking forward to meeting in person some time. in reply to twoodwar #
You know it's a good keynote when you're inspired to escape the session–just to start working on the stuff @jimgroom's talking about #ITC10 #
"That we have a direct impact on our community … is a key part of being an institution" @jimgroom #ITC10 #
"A domain of one's own" re. personal web sites to revitalize, /reclaim/ one's own liberty. Go, @jimgroom, go! #
Right! One of the best things about a system like UMW Blogs it showcases and it /features/ teacher, student work. #ITC10 #
Part of what makes @jimgroom an engaging presenter is he doesn't rely on notes (like I do)–it just flows out like body heat! #
"Twitter is great for visualizing the network." @jimgroom #ITC10 #
@busynessgirl Yes. But hopefully it's a transmittable disease. in reply to busynessgirl #
The UMW Literary Jounals course is fascinating–one of the few instances of an English dept. linking academics to outworld work. #ITC10 #
@mikhailg How could @jimgroom be on stage AND be overseeing his vast empire of the Internet at the same time? in reply to mikhailg #
@jimgroom Great job at #ITC10–fascinating content, enlightening insights, engaging presence. #

Wow. After what I thought was a lively half-hour phone interview with a Chronicle reporter, the one quote used is a self-deprecating one. #
@fncll That quote was from an off-topic discussion, even. Not a word on the meat of the matter… Guess I'll keep responses to 140 char in reply to fncll #
@fncll Makes one wonder why one invests time and energy in that crap. From hereon out I'll politely decline. in reply to fncll #
