Upset. If I ever have enough funding, it would be such a relief. But honestly, who is funded properly anyway?

Never be afraid to involve your students in designing their own learning activities, if engaged they'll surprise you! My students rock!

Back up tweaking wiki for work today -- keeping on east coast time -- it is 3:42 am here but I feel like it is my normal waking time.

Think I'm going to take a small nap and finish tweaking the preso for these awesome people at Edison here. They are impressive.

@dougpete don't mind taking heat for anything I actually say. Frustrated someone would misread like that.

@TeachaKidd the only thing ruined was my own ego and that is ok, I work with teenagers and am used to it!

@dougpete I love the backchannel and will use, maybe not on screen. That was thrown at me as I walked in.

@TeachaKidd I said "we started improving whn I stopped trying to cram down throats" she didn't read word stopped.

@TeachaKidd no I love backchannels but don't like them live on screen unless everyone can get in.

@TeachaKidd just tweeted summary of incident because of misinformation about what happened on panel at necc. Backchannel itself was no prob!

And I say noob as a term of endearment because I am one. Audience can read but not contribute to backchannel so u get pushback.

So, my conclusion is and always has been, backchannel are best behind the scenes and not intended for big screen. Noobs can't handle it up!

Accused me of ignoring the panel b/c I was moderating backchannel and was very ugly. Did not read what I said properly.
