- @jonbecker @cljennings I've given up all but motions within my institution- which makes sense if you buy innovation theory ala Christensen in reply to jonbecker #

- @keiramc @cogdog I have (had
a Kensington folio w keyboard/stand and it was fabulous, tho if I replace Gunther I might go with Zagg folio in reply to keiramc # - Sigh. Monotone reading from a scientific paper is bad, whether from a powerpoint slide or not. #

- If light-speed barrier *has* been broken, imagine new wealth of inaccurate metaphors/analogies educators can employ: http://t.co/1Mi5wDam #
- @sleslie while at the same time, when convenient (particularly w/r/t education), they are all about intuition and the intangible. #
- @sleslie You'd just love this little science conference. I forget how foreign some of that traditional approach to the world is. #
- @injenuity Twitter might be the wrong place, unless you can find some reading teachers
in reply to injenuity # - The two cultures are alive and well here at AAAS conference. Funny that the educators are the ones asking scientists to pay attn to research #
- @injenuity It's a whole rhetoric, one of many languages, just more obviously so. How do you teach people to read, period? in reply to injenuity #
- @sleslie Can you unsubscribe me from the twitters? in reply to sleslie #
- @cogdog Must be where the Twitter search engine is… in reply to cogdog #

- If I hear one more cutesy, alliterative, trying-to-be-clever phrase about "new" teaching and learning, I will stick scissors through my ears #
- @sleslie We can still abuse science as much as we want as long as we do so in the name of metaphor, right? in reply to sleslie #
- @davecormier Last I saw little Gunther he was alone and forgotten in a chair at the terminal in the Anchorage Airport. in reply to davecormier #
- Please pray for the safe return of my youngest child, Gunther, a mostly intelligent iPad 2. We've had so little time together. #
- @jonbecker Couldn't tell you- don't have the attention span and all knowledge resides in the network anyway. I'm just a vassal-I mean vessel in reply to jonbecker #
- @jonbecker That's so yesterday. I'm post-post-social 2.0 alpha in reply to jonbecker #

- @skipvia That study is, umm, problematic… in reply to skipvia #
- Split into two or not, Netflix would be well worth it– and a money-saver– at twice the price. Easily. #
- @brlamb Thanks. That means a lot. in reply to brlamb #
- @sleslie And I do wish the haters would stay home for a few weeks around this day. They'd still have 40+ weeks to hate. in reply to sleslie #
- @sleslie Agreed on all three points. For me it has been, as always, about me, as in "if *he* couldn't make it, what hope for me?" in reply to sleslie #
- @sleslie It was actually a week ago, but I waited wondering if I felt differently. Not really. Though I've grown more accustomed to it… in reply to sleslie #
