Last opera of the season is about to start – Manon #MetOpera #nyc #
I just noticed some grey hairs. Not denying I had some, just not noticeable before. Serenity Now! #
@librarybeth Sweet. in reply to librarybeth #
@lizith All the best! Love to see what you come up with, as I always think there are better practices than those I know! #phdchat in reply to lizith #
@cruisenewton Such as . . . in reply to cruisenewton #
@JessieNYC You can have it; enough rain already! in reply to JessieNYC #
@MisaimedBrain I have read some interesting texts on preparing for the viva, so all the best to you for yours #phdchat in reply to MisaimedBrain #
@MisaimedBrain Indeed, share your success (and help us with some viva insights!) #phdchat in reply to MisaimedBrain #
@MisaimedBrain unless there is a deafening silence (which there WON'T BE!!!) #phdchat in reply to MisaimedBrain #
@northerndruid Great new site design. in reply to northerndruid #
@MisaimedBrain How exciting; you will be great! #phdchat in reply to MisaimedBrain #
Not as much writing this weekend as I hoped; well at least today begins a new week #phdchat #
@gconole Well, you have enough of a positive vibe about you to make lemonade from lemons, so will definitely work out in some way. in reply to gconole #
@gconole Rrrrr; that pesky alarm clock technology. This is a recurring terror of mine when involving travel. in reply to gconole #
@gconole Sorry about the missed flights. At least you were able to make a work around. in reply to gconole #
@kiwicito Has anybody offered insights on this one? in reply to kiwicito #
@kiwicito Have the same struggle trying to remain current. It is the challenge of maintaining conversations after conferences #phdchat in reply to kiwicito #

@NSRiazat ??????Indeed, one of our purposes here is to remind and support one another while on the #phd journey #phdchat in reply to NSRiazat #
@cruisenewton All of human experiences is subjective in how we understand it; objective knowledge and its effect is an illusion #phdchat in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton I think that identifying a #thresholdconcept is not the same as assuming what effect it may have on the learner #phdchat in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton I also think that issues of paradigm and worldview (cf. Lincoln and Guba, etc.) come into play. in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton I think it also depends on how old the learners are and in what level of educational program. in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton Agreed, and that is the area between threshold concepts and transformative learning (cf. Mezirow) that interests me #phdchat in reply to cruisenewton #
@AlisonSeaman Thank you! in reply to AlisonSeaman #
@cruisenewton Glad it finally made it to that part of the list! in reply to cruisenewton #

5 Easy Ways to Make a Difference for Sea Turtles on Earth Day http://t.co/sUzrt2sE @conserveturtles #
On Earth Day ask your member of Congress to help save entire species of freshwater turtles and tortoises http://t.co/JzcOi6Jo @TheWCS #
Has anybody seen actor-network theory applied to distance learning? Doing some work in this area, and looking for references #phdchat #ANT #
@Tisandthesis Excellent; I will look forward to an . . . English version?? in reply to Tisandthesis #
@MtnrSmith Yes, try as I might, it simply will not write itself #phdchat in reply to MtnrSmith #
@cruisenewton to experience before progressing. That seems to imply an objective understanding of knowledge, which is somewhat problematic. in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton What I meant here is that the notion of threshold concepts seems to imply experiences or knowledge that many students need in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton I believe the TC was in Australia 2 years ago. in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton Too bad you could not make the Dublin conference. I have never been to it before. in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton Yes, threshold concepts seem to be a useful construct, though I have not resolved the ontological implications with them yet. in reply to cruisenewton #
@Tisandthesis How is your research coming? Have not seen you online in ages! in reply to Tisandthesis #
@Tisandthesis To confess, not much done then. Will be more later today and then tomorrow #phdchat in reply to Tisandthesis #
Getting the car serviced and then to get it washed and waxed. I really do not have time for this now given all else, but can't put it off #

Endless week. Hope to get back into the rhythm with my research this weekend #phdchat #
@ianrobsons 🙂 in reply to ianrobsons #
@ChrisRicca If only we could relax on the same way. in reply to ChrisRicca #
@trentmkays Depends on the conference. Usually the CFP says if it is or not #phdchat in reply to trentmkays #
@savasavasava Disgusting indeed. in reply to savasavasava #
@cruisenewton Ahh, therein lies the challenge of an aha that we can help people experience while not succumbing to the limits of positivism. in reply to cruisenewton #
@savasavasava Great. DT your openings, so to speak. in reply to savasavasava #
@thesiswhisperer Indeed. I have been in #nyc longer than I have been out of it. Amazing place. The energy here sustains me. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@hollykruse Ahh, so only talk about the content. Good idea. Do you use a course tag so it can be found by them later? in reply to hollykruse #
@cruisenewton Goodness, sounds like challenging work. Are your doctoral studies intended to improve practice? in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton Sounds like the language of threshold concepts. in reply to cruisenewton #
@thesiswhisperer Great area, always loved the Upper East Side. Have been a Village fellow myself for many a year now #nyc in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer I only travel with carry on and do laundry along the way. Nothing so freeing as using #RedOxx luggage that never leaves me. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@hollykruse All the best for your students. How do you navigate that with FERPA? That has been a tough one with my students. in reply to hollykruse #
@hollykruse I started live Tweeting conferences as well, they all get posted to my blog each day, so it becomes extended live blogging in reply to hollykruse #
@thesiswhisperer Really? I was in #nyc then as well. Where did you life here? in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer Alas, I am far too adjunct for that, though we never know what may evolve. Learned that enough times! in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@cruisenewton Time yet? You have been here long enough. At least an image of something that resonates. in reply to cruisenewton #
@cruisenewton Do you teach? in reply to cruisenewton #
@savasavasava Great response. You in #nyc for the next week or so? in reply to savasavasava #
@thesiswhisperer I only wish you would pass through #nyc on one of your trips! in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@thesiswhisperer Excellent. I am hoping to see her again at the Threshold Concepts conference in Dublin in June. in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@cruisenewton Ah. What interests you about that area of research? in reply to cruisenewton #
Should not have waited so long to get food. #
