I had a couple of unique posts fly by me that made me stop and think for just a second. When I was in university, I had an HP RPN calculator and learned to be so more productive with it as opposed to a regular algebraic calculator. By pushing and popping numbers onto and from a stack, the number of keystrokes taken to do some calculations was so much more efficient.
A couple of Twitter messages went by that reminded me of that calculator in that – one was a pull and the other was a push. In both cases, though, we were connected.
Thanks, Divergent Learner – CC
First, the pull.
@zbpipe sent out a message to her “PLN” asking people to visit her blog and leave a comment. Apparently, she’s doing a presentation and wants to show the reach that she has through Twitter and her blog. Folks have headed over to leave voice and text comments. I was going to do it last night but my headset was at work and the football game was just starting. Thankfully, she reminded us again this morning.
Secondly, the push.
I’m checking the nights events and a message from @MaryKayG catches my eye. The title was “As Not Seen on TV”. It was just a link that she elected to just push out to her corner of Twitter. I decided to check out the link. After all, what’s better than a little Sham Wow in the morning. What surprised me was that it was a link to an article from the Toronto Globe and Mail. My immediate first reaction was that I had clicked on the wrong link until I started reading. It was about a new television show from Vancouver talking the promotion being web based and the shows available on YouTube. What an incredible concept! I read the article twice and bookmarked it because I know that I’ll make reference to it at some point.
It’s interesting to see how both of these ladies contributed to the on going learning experience in completely different ways. There are no rules so they’re just doing what seems right for them. Where else in teaching and learning do we have such flexibility to learn and to share/interact with others?
So, thanks to both ladies for contributing to my learning this morning.
That reminds me. Gotta go; I owe Zoe a message.
