@Spacekatgal This is why I fear the big push around competency based education or saying #highered needs to focus more on employable skills. Want your kid to be a great coder some day? Start by teaching them children's literature, play chess, weave bracelets. The patterns of people Learning to enter data is easy. learning how to draw conclusions from data ta
Make no mistake China's sorghum Tarrif is a direct shot at Mitch McConnell. He has always championed hemp production but I wonder if sense of urgency is due to hit agriculture sector is taking.
I am currently running mine through @withknown http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com but I have also tested and run it through my Wordpress site. I haven't set it up or tested it on micro.blog. Created an account but haven't decided if I am going to use it or stick with what I have. Not building a web app for that but scoping out one for my teaching workf
In breaking news the American Psychological Association has declared the Dunning Kruger effect as a common side effect in those who self identify as males. (satire)
@Mte90Net Your original tweet must have been in context of something else. i clicked on the link and juts saw a picture of paper clips. Hope all is well with you and my Italian @mozilla and @wordpress friends
@JennBinis Yes but the feds holding back on purse strings or dangling massive carrots during an economic crisis can quickly nationalize what were once federated standards. ....and while I have never hated ccss I have always found folks rewriting history to make the drafting and approval sound way more inclusive and open to the public than what realluy happen
@NotThatMelB Me too, but I see a virus and/or a the rise of cloned protein sources long before the environmental devastation that reduce the planet to just a few inhabitable areas.
A poem I wrote on the subject a few years back: https://medium.com/digital-teaching-and-learning/so-you-want-your-kid-to-code-b9b058483934 #Code4All So I call shotgun on Secretary of Ed when @spacekatgal makes in to Pennsylvania Ave
Link fixed. A lot of copy/pasting trying to the #indieweb thing. I will truly know I have succeeded when I can keep up with the weekly educational twitter chats
@altmetric I am currently thinking about microformats and my online classes. I am trying to encourage #highered peers (since we all teach the same classes) to apply #indieweb technologies to a #GoOpen philosophy and share and remix our courses. Trying to be forward thinking about how we could track the metrics of remixes of learning materials using micorform
@NotThatMelB Wow. Sounds amazing. I am actually running a GIS grant right now for New Haven Public School elementary and middle school teachers. Personally I am exploring if a recent gypsy moth infestation (three year cycles) overlaps with power outage maps from last round of late blizzards. Due too curriculum most elementary teachers playing with CT maps. M
I need to remember, kick myself actually, make changes to website on GitHub and then push to websites....STOP making quick changes in the cpanel editor Greg.....It's the reason your repos fall so out of sync with your live sites. #indieweb
Chris there are native micropub apps for iOS and Android. In fact I am sending this from Indigenous on my phone (Android) that is currently in alpha. Publishes to my blog and syndicates to Twitter

And as you notes attempt to erase background knowledge from assessments lead to stupid assessments. Though I am also getting intrigued by exploration into disciplinary literacies and the
This looks like an interesting approach I could take to try and finalize the #indieweb migration of my courses. But I want to try and do it on my own. I should be able to mark up the html of a learning html and then use the classes to render it differently on my syllabus website and class website.
@JennBinis States could collaborate and share now. Standards+ CC BY-SA or CC 0 = share and collaborate. Plus can we make it 49. Let Texas go it's own way. I am partial to higher order thinking skills (even if the term is pretty vapid)
