Did your know @realDonaldTrump guts the #Gearupworks program in his federal budget. We must stand up and fight for a program we know helps.
Greg McVerryWow @wikispaces is closing shop. They were there for all the early years and I used them at almost every professional development institute I offered. Thanks all. #edtechchat

@citizenstewart Keep up the fight. Hate when adults focus on adults in schools over children

@geekgirldiva If you read into the budget they don't even pay for delivery of the boxes. That would be up to states to figure out. I am all for connecting SNAP to local agriculture but boxes of processed food is something only a Perdue chicken man could come up wit.

Don't tell anyone but I pretty much write in Ruby on Rails, but the alliteration just wasn't there

@edutinker @nathan_stevens Start here: http://bit.ly/2nViIeZ and then find Alvermann's piece on reading identities.

@mrterborg It is awesome. Didn't mean to bring back the debate between morphology and phonics. #edtechchat
Greg McVerryTech brought in sense of tinkering that we lost in school. Writing should still be this way tweaking words like code. It's all text structure. I find poetry in Python. #edtechchat
Greg McVerrySimply ignore the President's budget. It's what Congress has done every year since, well, there has been a Congress.

@nathan_stevens @LaTiYoda @mrterborg @try_rebooting just call all your test quizzes. Trust me it works and you can still record your fake points in Grade School for needy parent. #edtechchat

@mrterborg We too often turn to sight words. K students recognizing a 100 sight words? Personal opinion but focus on decoding first then sight words, but K is good time to introduce #edtechchat

@nathan_stevens We now get to see folks failure on a massive scale almost instantly. Kind of scary for kids facing collapsing contexts of school, peers, and society. #edtechchat
Greg McVerryHow many students get a chance to set goals and see if they can make it? Putting an objective on the board is not goal setting. #edtechchat
Greg McVerryHere is the truth. Opinions of reading are pretty set by 1st grade and almost impossible to change after 4th grade. #edtechchat We must have students succeed with words (Tech is a literacy issue not a tool issue)
Greg McVerryFinal shameless trolling plug of the night. I have room in my calendar, bring me to your school. Let's do something cool. http://bit.ly/2vgoBVl #edtechchat

@mrterborg @try_rebooting @nathan_stevens Yes not an approach I recommend, especially folks who play the Sicilian defense. #edtechchat

@rickeducation @ajpodchaski @nathan_stevens @try_rebooting @cybraryman1 @TG_Neil Here is a link to a validity study. http://bit.ly/2nVJ8xj rubrics aren't reliable, you calculate that with each group of raters #StuffVendorsNeverSay #edtechchat
