The twitter effect-Educon21 in 5 tweets
If my children’s teachers and principal’s lived by these tweets. All would be well.
It’s never this simple, but it should be.
The Twitter Effect-weekend virtual conferencing @educon21
Virtually at educon21 over the weekend. The staff and students at SLA did a wonderful job. Parent volunteers too, I hear!It was easy to become part of the conference from afar as all the sessions were streamed using mogulus. With the visual, audio, chat and twitter all happening at once it was a cacophony for the edtech [...]
The Twitter Effect Day 12
The blog post with the most audacious title goes to Eight Ways Twitter will change your life. I thought this was funny at first as it came across my reader today from @angelaMaiers. Then I started reading it and more and more of it rang true. Twitter is the killer app for staying on top of [...]
The Twitter Effect Day 11
Inauguration day.
A ”tweet call out” last week from coolcatteacher had me engaging with a classroom outside of my own school, outside of my own state. She was demonstrating twitter to her class and called for us to respond by replying to her and sharing where we were from and how we used twitter. Coolcatteacher (aka Vicki Davis) [...]

The Twitter Effect Day Eight

Today I went fishing in twitter. I veered totally off topic and away from the education technologists that I usually follow.
I regularly read a blog by an artist I like. Leah of creativeeveryday. Today’s trail started when Leah mentioned on her blog a creative coach [...]
The Twitter Effect Day Seven
This is a pln (personal learning network) at work.
@kellyhines a fourth grade teacher sends out the call for ideas…
@theheroworkshop answers with the idea. (these are in reverse order, that’s how twitter updates)
In the hands of a skilled educator, a project is created.
View the students writing blog here.
My first thought is 50 students? Wow.
It is no wonder that [...]
The Twitter Effect Day Six
The power of twitter. I love stories. This one highlights how you never know when your apparent wasting of time in front of the screen actually turns out to be the best thing you could have been doing. At some point that time will manifest itself as worthwhile. It will happen probably where you least [...]
