Twitter is Awash with Personal Reflections, Resolutions and Predictions

Many social media types are approaching the promise of learning in the New Year with enthusiasm. The more twitterati reflect, the more I'll add.

Doug Johnson provides some personal and professional. I like the term "oughts-decade".

@djainslie has a post with a PLN survey. With this retweet, I found someone new to follow.

@ian_gs has a look back on 2009 with links to his most popular posts.

@timbuckteeth has a post "Noughties ... but nice" in which he overviews some of the "personal technological innovations" that emerged in the decade.

@olliebray writes this post on his blog with links to: Education hopes for 2010 at TESS Scotland

@ozge has written: How to survive in 2010 - digitally.

@mrmitchell has written Predictions for 2010 and Reflections on 2009

Stephen W Anderson @web20classroom reports that this was his most popular post in 2009. It is certainly worth some reflection. "You Want Me To Use This In My Classroom? What's The Point?"

@nashworld tweeted about his building principal's @JeanetteWstfall first-semester reflection and reverie.

The technology predictions of ReadWriteWeb @rww are always worth a read.

If I only had the time and inclination ...

I would love to write more about the links I share on Twitter.

I have just finished up a couple of draft blog posts that go back to August, so I know that TIME to write more is unlikely to materialise any time soon.

At the same time, I am aware that it may be more than just being time-poor. Maybe it is worse. Perhaps, I have finally reached the time in my career when I just don't have a great desire or motivation to do more.

In spite of this, I am still quite active and all the information, that I "pull" to me each day still makes it easy to be a little productive without a huge energy or time commitment.

'Teens Don't Tweet,' Study Says

Does it matter? Why?
Who cares exactly?
What are they missing?
Why is this conversation important?

Chronicle of Higher Education study.

I am not sure students can benefit greatly from using twitter. I am sure there are lots of opinions out there.

NSW twitterati-What concerns them?

I am keen to share a few insights from some influential NSW education bloggers and twitterati.
I ask:
Are there opportunities for learning?
What are the issues?

Over to you for solutions.

Back to blog!

After, 3 months down time, settling in to a new workspace, I have set a goal to blog at least once or twice a week.

I have continued my learning 2.0 research and the avalanche of new apps and tools is phenomenal. I have mostly stuck with those mentioned in posts below. The new tools I use are:

• diigo especially the groups
• Twitter through google reader and TweetDeck
• friendfeed and
• second brain

All the new tools I read about I post to google shared.

I have found Twitter fascinating and can follow many of the A List edubloggers I have identified over the last year.

In my next posts, I intend to:

• write about leadership of learning 2.0 in schools
• summer conference in the northern hemisphere, notably NECC 2008
• my stats. using google trends and slideshare
