So, I found this amazing tutorial for creating a TwitterBot using Google Spreadsheet. I wanted to put it to good use, so I made a Twitter Bot that leverages the archive of over 117,000 tweets from the #ISTE2015 hashtag. If you are so inclined to see the new insights that are generated from this wealth of knowledge, please feel free to follow @obotmybot.
Introducing the newly upgraded SSBot: A tool for making a Twitter bot with Google Spreadsheets. Version 0.4 fixes some major bugs and adds support for additional bot types.
Asking and answering questions is one of my favorite things to do as a practice of reflection. This question definitely got me thinking: What is one touchstone moment of your teaching career that you carry with you?

If am starting a strange project today in which anyone can Ask Me Anything and I will answer it in a short form video while I am walking from my parked car to my office. To find out more about #AskBenW , here is a video and blog post describing it.
I have made videos while driving. I have made slow motion videos of my own facilitation. I have made vlogs in a community of reflective practice. I have even made 6 second videos for a keynote. Suffice it to say, videos are something that I find compelling value within.
However, of late, I have had trouble finding time to make them. By the end of the day I feel as though I don’t have anything left to give. I don’t want to appear haggard on camera and not give everything I have to the creation of something new. That is where this idea came from.
As it turns out, I have a dedicated amount of time between the moment that I park my car and when I arrive at the Denver Public Schools Emily Griffith Campus (my office). Because I park between 4–8 blocks away, it takes me at least 10 minutes to walk in on any given day. I want to use those minutes wisely, as they are incredibly productive because my brain is still fully processing what is coming next.
So, here is what I would like to do:
1. Every morning that I have the inclination, I would like to make a video on my way from my parked car to my office.
2. Each time I make that video, I would like to be answering an important question about our work in DPS or about something going on in the world of education and/or technology.
3. Each time I make that video, I would like to have it ready to upload by the time I walk into the front door.
In order to help me make this happen and create a community to support this practice, here is what I would like you to do:
1. Tweet me questions you have using the hashtag #AskBenW
2. Watch some (or all) of the videos and comment upon them as you see fit.
3. Create your own #Ask[WhateverYourNameIs] hashtags and let folks ask you questions too.
I hope this idea isn’t too crazy or too out there for you. I hope this idea makes you want to create videos as it helps me to create my own. Thank you for taking part in this experiment.
Is there any way to set up multiple teachers for a single course in rosterSync? I have tried a couple of methods (making 2 different teacher enrollment rows and using comma separated values within the teacher fields) but neither was successful. Any chance that folks have figured this out yet?
