[…] The first two links I’ve shared both derive from things I’ve seen on Twitter recently. One is a blog post by Bryan Alexander, the instructional technologist behind InfoCult. Bryan wrote a fascinating post titled Crowdsourcing Ideas About Libraries in 2009: a Twitter story. It’s so compelling that it might even convince Ben to join. […]

@ungooglable good luck with that one.
Wow you told us…
You really wake up after midnight.
I think we agree much more than we disagree – what Dayna and I are pointed out (If I may speak for her) is the experience we have teaching students at the college level which is different than K-12. We see how hard it is to engage students (Students that do play video ganes until 3AM sometimes) – it never is “one thing” but if students can’t power down in the classroom because the pedogogy has not caught up yet them we have a problem.
It would be great if we could say we understand Gee’s theory and all faculty are on-board and the money is there to change curriculum but it just will not happen that fast.
I think perhaps I did not explain myself well in class but the pedagogy of video games as Gee described in his book was facinating and a topic that has interested me for years. The actual practice (playing video games, watching TV etc. on a one-on-one basis is a completely different topic.
@ungooglable — I looked and you are totally *not* on twitter.

Indeed. What are you waiting for?
@mkgold, @diysociology – It just seems like such a commitment, you know? I’d feel obliged to constantly update. And keep updated to others. Which I just can’t.
beyond updating
there’s the haiku aspect, too
i’d get obsessive
Actually, the nice thing about Twitter is that one feels no need to update it on a regular basis (unlike, say, a blog). It’s more like a stream that one dips in to and out of at one’s leisure. And, really, it’s where some of the most interesting developments in communication are happening right now.
