Actual engagement
Posted by David Wees on Dec 8, 2011
A Twitter user named "Distance Education" with the user name 'onlinecourse' has followed me 25 times. This suggests that they have also unfollowed me at least 24 times. This kind of behaviour I've heard called 'follower-churn.'
New #BCed chat: What is the relationship between assessment and learning?
Posted by David Wees on Nov 5, 2011
On this coming Monday night, from 7pm to 8pm PST, Mr. Wejr and myself are planning a Twitter discussion about the relationship between assessment and learning. The topic is fairly broad, and should allow for anyone interested in assessment to participate.
Make sure to use the #BCed hashtags in your tweets if you are participating, and watch out for daylight savings time. We'll both make sure to announce the chat during the day.
Social media for educators
Posted by David Wees on Sep 12, 2011
I'm going to be presenting in a couple of days for some new teachers on social media. I've created a presentation (see below), and I'd like some feedback on it. It's still a work in progress, but then of course, everything is.

Using #edchat to take action
Posted by David Wees on Jul 6, 2010
Today's #edchat on Twitter was about how we can break free of the echo chamber that is #edchat. We all have great ideas, but how can we turn those great ideas into action? Our objective is not to stop our great conversations but to also move beyond our conversations into concrete action.
How my PLN helped me yesterday
Posted by David Wees on May 19, 2010
Yesterday I posted a question on Twitter. It was a pretty simple one, I was looking for examples of portfolios people have created because I needed to find an example to analyze as part of one of my graduate courses.
Within 10 minutes, I had a bunch of different examples from different people in my Professional Learning Network (PLN). Here are their tweets (these images link to their examples).
Really interesting conversation on #edchat on Twitter
Posted by David Wees on Oct 1, 2009
I participated for the first time a couple of days ago in this #edchat phenomena happening on Twitter. Basically the idea is, everyone heads to the search page on Twitter and starts having a conversation through Twitter using the hashtag #edchat. The resulting conversation is recorded and has many people who can listen in on the conversation, and everyone is free to jump in if they want.
