Great idea to help ppl "get it": RT @RussGoerend: When I share links with colleagues who aren't on Twitter, I ... link to the Tweet itself. 3:34 PM Dec 20th from Echofon
@bengrey Great post, really enjoy reading about ontogeny of thought and how it relates to "ownership". It's the angle I take w/ plagiarism. 10:03 AM Dec 19th from Echofon in reply to bengrey

Our dorm students start their travels tomorrow...hard to imagine being so far away, but it must feel great to be home when they arrive. 7:11 PM Dec 16th from Echofon
@irasocol Where did you learn that? Sounds like it came from something on the history of grading, which I'd be very interested in reading. 7:07 PM Dec 16th from Echofon in reply to irasocol

@deviger I also see being invited and asked for feedback as a sign that trust & sense of value of observation is developing. 5:51 PM Dec 9th from web in reply to deviger
@deviger Agreed-shorter, more frequent "samples" seem to be most likely to produce the most accurate picture of the classroom. 5:49 PM Dec 9th from web in reply to deviger
