My first Tweet all day; got home from a busier than normal day at the office, and worked on my Methodology chapter all night #phdchat #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-03-30

@HendraAgustian What brought you there, as opposed to elsewhere or where you were from? in reply to HendraAgustian #
@HendraAgustian What makes for an international curriculum? in reply to HendraAgustian #
@HendraAgustian I taught middle and high school for 10 years. Gradually worked my way to teaching adults. in reply to HendraAgustian #
@avdbmt @torresk @ai1sa @saadat_m It often does. I wish my bank had a partner there, but none in either country to help with the fees. in reply to avdbmt #
@torresk Can hope for next year, as nothing 2013 planned yet AND my goal is to finish my degree by then! in reply to torresk #
@torresk I saw that; I would have submitted something for it had I not just come back from Dublin a week earlier in July. in reply to torresk #
@torresk @avdbmt @saadat_m @ai1sa That was indeed a lot of money in coin! in reply to torresk #
@SarahStewart Indeed, a positive outlook is exactly what we need! #phdchat in reply to SarahStewart #
@ai1sa Glad you are feeling better. Travel safely to #nlc2012 in reply to ai1sa #
@thesiswhisperer @rmit True. Enough misery in the world already! in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer @rmit Indeed; nothing like disrupting the prevailing misery. Needless to say I moved often. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer @rmit I recall being told "stop smiling" during a college summer job. If I looked to enjoy the work, they would move me. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@lindathestar Onward and upward. in reply to lindathestar #
@lindathestar 😉 in reply to lindathestar #
@lindathestar This is all consistent with my doctoral research! http://t.co/VXuMjt5H #phdchat in reply to lindathestar #
I am working on my Methodology #phdchat #
@dratarrant You mean you are here and didn't let me know!! in reply to dratarrant #
@SarahStewart You are not alone in that sentiment. Not alone at all. #phdchat in reply to SarahStewart #
@RhythmicDeets Did you get it submitted? Either way, hopefully now you are resting. #phdchat in reply to RhythmicDeets #
@lindathestar Sorry. in reply to lindathestar #
@ai1sa Goodness, you ok? How are you going to travel?!?! in reply to ai1sa #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-03-29

@ai1sa Yes, I am bringing my iPad, though will only have regular access on my iPhone #nlc2012 in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa I am always up for meeting at the hotel bar, though perhaps there after dinner? Want to eat in the city at least on Sunday! #nlc2012 in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Will you have email or Twitter access in Maastricht? #nlc2012 in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa What is the best way to reach you while there? in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Excellent! When do you get there? in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa I will arrive around noon, and will hopefully check in and then spend my only afternoon there exploring the city. No other time there in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Yes, conference hotel, though it does not seem the square is walkable from there. in reply to ai1sa #
@avdbmt Indeed, it looks great. This time, we have to sit for a drink and some socializing. #nlc2012 in reply to avdbmt #
@ai1sa I have not seen any, though I am in a symposium. Email Mieke or Rory to be sure. in reply to ai1sa #
@avdbmt @ai1sa @saadat_m Phew; thanks. in reply to avdbmt #
@saadat_m Just the opposite for me. I am bringing a good book for the trip! in reply to saadat_m #
@HendraAgustian Attending the Networked Learning Conference http://t.co/IwVDySCf — Very interesting group of attendees #nlc2012 in reply to HendraAgustian #
@HendraAgustian What brought you to your area of research, especially for secondary school work? I used to teach that, so lingering interest in reply to HendraAgustian #
@HendraAgustian You must have done (and do) a lot of travel; how did you end up there? in reply to HendraAgustian #
@HendraAgustian Ahh, I did not see how the pictures / stories changed. How adorable! in reply to HendraAgustian #
@EmmaBurnettx Nicely stated. Ahh, makes me miss the hills of France even more. in reply to EmmaBurnettx #
@saadat_m Wow, 8:00; where are you coming from? @ai1sa @joostrobben in reply to saadat_m #
@1080Group With 12K followers, I am but a voice crying in the wilderness. in reply to 1080Group #
@torresk BTW, Dublin in June . . . in reply to torresk #
@avdbmt Staying at the conference hotel too? I suppose everyone will be #nlc2012 in reply to avdbmt #
@avdbmt Excellent. How far away are you (and how is your teaching / research?) — no, don't answer; will wait for Monday. in reply to avdbmt #
@torresk So I have heard, so I have heard. All my travel is conference related, though I have not found one in Spain yet . . . in reply to torresk #
@torresk @ai1sa @saadat_m @schiphol The problem is that codes are not used in the US to make credit card purchases! in reply to torresk #
@torresk @ai1sa @saadat_m @schiphol Almost had a meltdown when in Copenhagen 2 years ago and they told me to enter a code for my credit card in reply to torresk #
@avdbmt @ai1sa @saadat_m @torresk Wonder if the desk takes other cards? I suppose I should just get my tickets at the airport in Brussels? in reply to avdbmt #
@avdbmt @ai1sa @saadat_m @torresk You are kidding, only MC? This will be a fun trip, I already sense it . . . in reply to avdbmt #
Wonder if @krajagopal would be angry with me if I retreated back to Twitter where this sort of reflective learning is safe? #ginkgo #nlc2012 #
I am participating in the #ginkgo based Connect The Dots! Experiment that @krajagopal is working on related to #nlc2012 #
Some of us are considering meeting for dinner on 1 April in the main square "Vrijthof" anybody in Maastricht for #nlc2012 is welcome. #
@ai1sa @joostrobben I was thinking meeting a little earlier, perhaps 6:00, and @saadat_m could join when he arrives? #nlc2012 #
@ai1sa @saadat_m How about meeting up for dinner on 1 April? @joostrobben suggested in the main square "Vrijthof" #nlc2012 in reply to joostrobben #
@saadat_m @ai1sa @Schiphol I have not tried to buy the train tickets yet; what problem did you experience? #nlc2012 in reply to saadat_m #
@noahsparks It was received politely, and while some people get it, many do not. I found it ridiculous before experiencing it. in reply to noahsparks #
@GameOfThrones I just subscribed to #HBO specifically for #gameofthrones after seeing it on DVD. in reply to GameOfThrones #
@1080Group I have never left one of your sessions early! in reply to 1080Group #
@noahsparks Too bad you were not headed to #nlc2012 that may be interesting. Perhaps in 2 years. in reply to noahsparks #
@noahsparks Excellent. I only wonder if @smithjd saw this exchange!! in reply to noahsparks #
@thesiswhisperer I do get around when I can, but the travel is a challenge. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@noahsparks I like the idea of the #BEtreat and while probably valuable, far out of my unfunded price range. Alas. #CPsquare #cp2 in reply to noahsparks #
@noahsparks I have attended some of the #CPsquare Foundations workshops, and they are excellent #cp2 in reply to noahsparks #
@noahsparks Not sure; I tend not to be good at determining that. I do participate a bit and presented Social Learning and #Yammer today in reply to noahsparks #
@noahsparks Intranets are disorganized at best, alas. in reply to noahsparks #
@EmmaBurnettx I used to think waiting for wine was special, but am integrating it (as has been done through all of human history!) #phdchat in reply to EmmaBurnettx #
@gconole Enjoy it! in reply to gconole #
@thesiswhisperer I love to travel, though would be much more fun with funding. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer Have been looking forward to it for the past 2 years! Will plan to Tweet about #nlc2012 while there #phdchat in reply to thesiswhisperer #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-03-28

@Lemness Indeed; W. 4th Street in New York City — the entire length of it is magical to me #NYC in reply to Lemness #
@noahsparks BTW, we have been doing more work with the initial #Yammer site at work; some small grassroots efforts are moving it along. in reply to noahsparks #
@noahsparks How are things in your neck of the woods? in reply to noahsparks #
@noahsparks Indeed, amazing what I have been missing. in reply to noahsparks #
I just updated my student profile and thesis research on the Lancaster University website http://t.co/m55U461n #phdchat #
@HendraAgustian Cool, but where? I did not see you on that page or in the video. in reply to HendraAgustian #
@thesiswhisperer This trip is to Brussels / Maastricht and then Dublin in June. That exhausts my personal travel budget. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer Alas, no London visit on this trip. BTW, you are doing a lot of travel recently 😉 in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@vitaenwhub @thesiswhisperer How exciting (at least for the prospect). I have wanted to see / hear Inger for some time now #phdchat in reply to vitaenwhub #
@saadat_m @ai1sa @joostrobben Goodness, I could not find reasonable flights to Amsterdam; you all have them! #phdchat #nlc2012 in reply to saadat_m #
@joostrobben @ai1sa @saadat_m So, as we are all around on Sunday 1 April, want to make dinner / drink plans in Maastricht? #phdchat #nlc2012 in reply to joostrobben #
@queercrip The glasses at Theo; fantastic pair even as I prepare to fly to Belgium this weekend! in reply to queercrip #
I just picked up my new pair of glasses; probably the best new pair I have bought in years. #
@MtnrSmith No better time than the present. I still recall the first one I did, it was at Oxford in the UK, and I was a pure novice #phdchat in reply to MtnrSmith #
@klang67 Perhaps!! in reply to klang67 #
@MtnrSmith The Networked Learning Conference 2012 http://t.co/IwVDySCf next week in the Netherlands #phdchat in reply to MtnrSmith #
@klang67 Enjoy home; I loved Göteborg! in reply to klang67 #
@thesiswhisperer I emailed them this morning, but no reply 🙁 Will hope for tomorrow & hope to see you IRL one of these days! in reply to thesiswhisperer #
Goodness, that last post of mine may get me into some hot water. Nothing like a diversion while writing my thesis! #phdchat #
Irony given all the protests concerning tuition increases; many people want to be like Americans but without paying for it #phdchat #
ANybody else attending the #nlc2012 conference next week? #phdchat #
@ai1sa @saadat_m @joostrobben Are you all staying at the #nlc2012 conference hotel next week? #phdchat #
@thesiswhisperer I love your upcoming presentations http://t.co/ZxYLGHnm and http://t.co/mPqXzTGX Can we attend from a distance? #phdchat #

@klbz Thanks for the feedback. Kolb never did anything for me; never found him terribly useful. in reply to klbz #
@JaneBozarth It came just in time, as I am using one of the 5 approaches he discusses! #phdhcat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth Even as I am uncompensated! in reply to JaneBozarth #
Creswell's 3rd edition of Qualitative Inquiry and Res Des gives a treat overview of sections of a doct thesis http://t.co/zSVf9mvw #phdchat #
@JaneBozarth Indeed. The new edition is the best of his work to date, IMHO #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth Goodness, perhaps for the blind . . . and deaf! in reply to JaneBozarth #
The new edition of Creswell's Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design is fantastic http://t.co/zSVf9mvw #phdchat #
Got a copy of the new edition of Creswell's Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among the Five Approaches http://t.co/mTDJU944 #
For anybody interested, here are the slides from the Research Seminar of My Research in Progress http://t.co/oT8X0CFN #phdchat #
Reviewing the video recording of my research seminar last week, I now see a distinct similarity between me and Mr. Potato Head #phdchat #
