Distractions!

I have the attention span of an Irish Setter! And I am off and running and never in a straight line!

Started the day off with Twitter! Shared a voice app for Twitter called Chirps. This Twitter tool is for all core subjects. Can't ya hear a Math chirp about FOIL posted to the class tweets!

Next on the list was blog reading made easy via Google Reader! Will Richardson has become my first of the day! He is an eclectic reader and consumate professional! I have decided that geekdom comes with the peril of technoslavery! Yes, I have become attached to all of my cloud accoutrements - hardware and software! When I was finished with the blogs for the day, I had probably weeded through 80 plus entries! That was pretty simple using the Reader - take a peek - read/not read - move on! Attention span was taken care of. How will this work when school starts. . . hmmm?

Throughout the day, I track my Twitter account and discovered that there are people that I am following who are conducting class on Twitter, recommending blog reads, sharing kool stuff, just plain adding to my professionalism. This is really distracting (?) because I am pulled to where ever the tweeter points. I guess that is because I have chosen to follow people that have been recommended by my PLN! I have been careful when add to those I follow on Twitter. That is the secret choose wisely!

I added a gazillion new entries to my Delicious account too! As I read, I may not want to forget something that was significant in some way to me, the kids, my colleagues, the school. This is my job - to keep abreast of the world of education and that which affects it! What do ya think tomorrow will bring?

Check out the new additions to my Delicious! Interesting! Is there something there for you?

And that's what I think today.

PS Today's wordle review! It was all about Twitter!
