  1. @time_motion what mountain are we speaking of then?
  2. @paulrwood My move to HK may be only half true. We Yankees don't like to reveal too much. :)
  3. @time_motion Yeah, how's that working out for us? #notgood
  4. @tomwhitby @kylepace Thanks for allowing the push back, This is one of the powerful uses of SM.
  5. @tomwhitby Educators participating in communities of practice is a professional imperative, but they need not all be on SM. #edchat
  6. @tomwhitby I have respect for your work, really. I hope that we don't choke out other ideas at the expense of "getting connected."
  7. @tomwhitby We should say the same for your experience with SM.
  8. @wagongrrl Excellent projects... are the animations online?
  9. @tomwhitby @kylepace I'm an intense believer in job-embedded learning for teachers. It's more concrete than abstract links on SM
  10. @tomwhitby I know this and ironically, I've been known to say "don't use tech" for some things.
  11. @tomwhitby Precisely my point. Too much sharing about SM (metatweeting) constricts other ideas.
  12. @tomwhitby @kylepace 3) Culture is full of technologically interesting things. 2/2
  13. @tomwhitby @kylepace 3Things... 1) Granted, SM is powerful. 2) It drowns out too many other powerful ideas for technology for learning. 1/2
  14. @tomwhitby @kylepace I didn't say I wouldn't monitor responses. Even bots know their analytics.
  15. @kylepace @tomwhitby For me, metatweeting is driving me away from it more and more. Thinking about becoming akin to a "bot" to share ideas.
  16. @wagongrrl You mean like this... flickr.com/photos/bcsmith…
  17. @tomwhitby I guess I've earned the "Curmudgeon" badge here on Twitter.
  18. @wagongrrl I wonder how Dewey, Piaget, Papert, Vygotsky would use SM. #pleasenofakebookpages
