  1. My Personal Ed Tech Mission Statement bit.ly/K5iCI9 via @ddraper
  2. @jybuell Srsly.
  3. @fnoschese Thanks. And I appreciate your unironic support of Khan Academy.
  4. And now after reading about molality for 5 minutes I think I got it.
  5. On 9/11/01, my college chem class covered molality. I blame that as the reason I don't know what molality is today.
  6. Well, you know, they /talk/ a good game. MT @gsiemens: I love this: even those who want to blow up ed. like trad. ed. slate.me/IRpoy9
  7. @chrislehmann #stayclassyEli
  8. Taking Chemistry Praxis in ~2 weeks. Haven't really been preparing for it as much as I probably should have. Guess I need to buckle down.
  9. The history of the world (according to the History Channel) - h/t @rjallain post.ly/7Sifo
  10. Want to know the keyboard shortcuts for (most) any Mac application? bit.ly/JxCjFK
  11. @DanAgins It's especially good to not have that hanging over my head. The commute isn't bad- about 10 min longer than to Groton.
  12. @DanAgins East Hartford- it's a public magnet school through LEARN.
  13. @DanAgins It's done! I'll be teaching Physics at the Connecticut River Academy next year. That's where I'm subbing today, akshually.
  14. I like subbing just fine, but it's kinda weird trying to be somebody else for a day.
  15. @DanAgins Done.
  16. @DanAgins Nice. I didn't realize Remi was also an amazing soccer player...
  17. Interesting comparison of gender balance in online communities in 2009 (bit.ly/JSqZZt) and 2012 (bit.ly/JSqYEN).
  18. @gregkulowiec No, but ideally they should. It's more about teaching a way of thinking than about what device is used.
