Pure Genius is a good one. What else do you have? Hope you are sharing!

-
A4: Flipboard had a PD section that is good to get the brain travelling in different directions

A4: I enjoy following blog, great stuff on there.
-
Do you get bonus marks for the plug? :)

A4. I listen to 's podcast altho as the year winds down I've abandoned her for The ScrapGals about scrapbooking
-
. well if you’re the 29th grade I have no idea where I am then! And you be quiet

A4. Can't lie, more often than not I'm picking up an IT manual rather than a blog. Think I need to spend some time reading.
-
I have Building School 2.0 by Lehmann and Chase

Um what does it sound like? :) Tips, reviews, how-tos, etc.
-
Um what does it sound like? :) Tips, reviews, how-tos, etc.

Agreed! ": A4: I enjoy following blog, great stuff on there. ”
-
A4: is my absolute fave! Jen rocks. 4all things &working on my own...finally re:the ranch.
-
Q5. What 'non-educational' reading will you be enjoying this summer?
-
. I use ReadKit to RSS my Feedly feed so I can do a skim of blogs. I’m moving away from the Ed focus though.
-
I could use a summer blog challenge. It helped spark my writing last summer.
-
I was under the impression that RSS was dead? Or is it dying a slow painful death?
-
. -YES Summer blog challenge! I'm nervous that once my class is done I will lose the drive 2 do it
-
Please count me in! I need a jump start!
-
I'm in for a blogging challenge!
-
A5: Did you mean to say "what shows will you be binge watching?" :)
-
Oh dont tempt me. I have the bug! I didnt travel internationally this year bc of so much US travel so that sounds FAB!
-
-
I dislike how the non-educational is in quotation marks...
-
That is definitely what I heard
-
I listen to Accidental Creative, Michael Hyatt, The Portfolio Life, Chris Brogan & Read to Lead - great podcasts for learning
-
-
. being an english major has really ruined my interest in reading leisurely
-
A5: About every two years I re-read Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series, in a different order to figure more our.
-
-
Every year I say I'll join you. Maybe this year I'll really mean it.
-
I'm pretty sure the words "Netflix binge" was in that tweet, no? :)
-
-
-
Not sure, haven't started yet. Will have to let you know.
-
A5: Prob should dust off some of the books I haven't cracked on my shelf - If I have the time I will probably read Ellen Hopkins
-
I'm still mourning the loss of iGoogle and my blogs feed. :(
-
Same thing happened to me, I rarely pick up non-fiction now.
-
Oh I totally used to use RSS back in University, not so much since then...
-
We can definitely do a blog challenge but I need others to offer ideas - we can use the blog!
-
Perfectly reasonable! knows that even frivolous reading can teach us many things! :)
-
. Can you explain why? I'm intrigued
-
I hate to say it, but I also like to read something totally non-educational, and really kind of mindless. Yes I admit it!
-
. yeah, Google Reader was awesome - but I’ve moved on - barely!
-
Dave,I thought that 2!Trust me,Im not a good student but theres no Dr in family.So at least now:an educational one😉!
-
A5 tbh I tend to only read non-ed over the summer. I need the break to recharge, reset, refind my passion and centre.
-
. me too - Comics are awesome for that - we have an Archie Library just for that purpose!
-
-
is now trending in Canada, ranking 48
-
Q5: I am in love with books. I will likely spend my summer reading one after another.
-
. Offer ideas as in prompts? Lol or is my mind too student based in asking that? :P
-
-
-
I like reading junior fiction too.
-
. Ours either although my 2nd girl will be one in about 5 years. Hoping to beat her to DR first!
-
-
-
-
-
yeah - as in topics to explore. Sometimes one gets into a rut & needs outside stimulation!
-
I suggest you move that cat :)
-
I've only read Keeper 'n Me and Quality of Light. Which one should I read next?
-
Im w ya!Used 2mock that stuff then I started reading Nicholas Sparks books & it was such a GREAT way to "escape"
-
I’m so glad I don’t watch tv.
-
-
-
There's a movie for like half of those, save yourself some time! :)
-
A little healthy family competition DOCTORAL style! Niiiiiccee! https://t.co/8vbWMSxbkE
-
-
. Ours either although my 2nd girl will be one in about 5 years. Hoping to beat her to DR first!
-
I put a shoebox beside my keyboard for my cat to curl up in. My cat loves it
-
Yes. After I did my masters my brain wanted a rest.
-
I'm a book person... I'd rather read it than watch it
-
-
TA: of course! And now, blogging, apparently. (And it's time for a TA already? Must be having fun.)
-
except she’ll be an MD! And she reminds me of that often!
-
. Probably Children's Lit - I liked looking at things from an adult perspective
-
Oh, you're one of those people. :)
-
I'd agree, nothing against the content, just the quotations.
-
Indian Horse...hands down. Second favorites are Medicine Walk and For Joshua.
-
I can re-read LotR faster than I can watch the movies! :)
-
depends - some I like to read, others, just let me watch the movie!
-
Nice, I don't think that class was even an option for me.
-
-
. I’ll make note of that for future sessions.
-
TA: Well here's hoping we have a blogging challenge, so I can spy on what other people are doing and what's a waste of time.
-
Well, accept defeat!U have only yourself 2blame:4being an amazing dad &role model to empower your own! Bravo Doc2B!!!
-
By sharing on Twitter and on of course!!! Maybe in audio format with if I ever get re-focussed! Lol
-
TA I will discuss my learning on and on my blog (that I really will write)& my poor husband will get to hear all about it.
-
That's fine, I can just attach the gif every time you do it. >=-)
-
Brilliant!!!! I will try it and report back!!! Thank you!
-
. You should treat yourself to some Winnie the Pooh for the summer then! :P
-
When I watch the movies, it's usually an all day long event. I can't stop once I start... like pringles
-
. I am one of a kind :) :D
-
TA: Oh, and totally share my ideas on a new blog, I'm sure people want to hear them.
-
Haha, my 2 year old keeps me reading all of that. Just not a lot of in depth discussion following.
-
-
-
So what you're saying is "thank you" ...
-
My friend suggested a movie/book club where we read the book and then watch the movie
-
-
-
-
-
-
- yeah, rainy summer days are great for that!
-
-
Good night everyone! Only a few more days until we rest! Have a great weekend!
-
-
-
-
Well, goodnight . Feel run off my feet and think it's time to catch some Zzzzzzzzzz's
-
-
Time to go! Thanks for the reading ideas. Let's organize the summer blogging.
-
-
TA: Looking to stalk, er, READ blogs of peeps, once my brain has recovered from year end of course. https://t.co/AqbkT7dZtC
-
. Does everyone meet in a central location to watch the movie together? Or is live-steamed?
-
-
Finally, someone answers my binge watch question!
-
Thank you for joining this evening. Our topic next week is "Open Mike" - come out and bring a topic/question and let's chat!
-
Thanks, friends, and goodnight, , wherever you are!
-
It would be fun all together - then you could point out all the things that don't match :)
