Biggest decision I made today was what to have for lunch. Vacation rocks. I'm offline until Monday.
| budtheteacher On the road. Durango, here we come. |
|
| budtheteacher Off to bed. Probably a mystery novel that will rot my mind, too. Delightful vacation bliss. |
|
| budtheteacher @paulrwood: Yep. Too bad I didn't make it through that line. I'll be shooting from my current phone, though. Check my Flickr for updates. |
|
| budtheteacher First casualty of the trip - left my camera behind. No pictures from me this round. Thankfully, father-in-law's equipped. |
|
| budtheteacher Wish us all luck. 6 hour drive tomorrow. 8 hours back. |
|
| budtheteacher Just turned on my "Out of Office" message. Off on vacation for the rest of the week - with the in-laws in Durango. |
|
| budtheteacher @teach42: Don't forget the academic colon! |
|
| budtheteacher @khokanson: I can't decide if I'm impressed or concerned that you took the time to share this special moment. And I'm sorry. |
|
| budtheteacher @adrianbruce: I hadn't. Thanks. |
|
| budtheteacher @deacs84: So the backchannel becomes a space for modeling a particular way of learning? Interesting idea. |
|
| budtheteacher @deacs84: Not sure I'm following you. |
|
| budtheteacher Animationish looks useful. http://www.animationish.com/ |
|
| budtheteacher @villagegreen: Interesting idea - but it's too much of a reading device. Needs a bit more data inputting oommph. |
|
| budtheteacher @feliciaday: You got hosed. I hope Penny gets plenty of flashbacks in Dr. Horrible: The Adventure Continues. |
|
| budtheteacher @jimohagan: I have a USB cam that I carry for just such a purpose. |
|
| budtheteacher @jimohagan: That said, I've seen Twitter used as a semi-effective starting place for a backchannel. |
|
| budtheteacher @jimohagan: I'd never consider any asynchronous tool as an appropriate backchannel for a synchronous event. I don't think I would, at least. |
|
| budtheteacher @skydaddy: I've asked you to fill that role in the past. Was that helpful to the backchannel, do you think? |
|
| budtheteacher @skydaddy: My "best practices" are these: 1. Establish a specific purpose or purposes for its use. 2. Invite someone(s) in to facilitate. |
