Welcome to #IOLchat! Who is joining in today? #InsideOnlineLearning

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:02 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Hello..Jennifer from Atlanta. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:03 PM EDT

I'm proofreading..does that count? =( #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:04 PM EDT

@jshamsy Hi Jennifer! I think it should. ;) Anything interesting? Your work or someone else's? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:05 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Nope..just mine. My instructor directed me to the Hemingway App...I am trying to reduce the # of words #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:06 PM EDT

@jshamsy Love the Hemingway app! I should use it more often than I do. Provides some helpful suggestions. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:06 PM EDT

What about yourself...what are you reading? @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:06 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd It is very time consuming to go through each sentence..but it does cut some of it and and require me to reevaluate #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:07 PM EDT

I'm giving one of the textbooks I use a re-read - highly recommend! https://t.co/s8xMYsMySz by @usablelearning #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:07 PM EDT

@jshamsy Agreed - and the color-coding can help you skip to the areas you want to focus on. I have a problem with adverbs. :/ #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:08 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I just see a lot of red =( #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:09 PM EDT

@jshamsy oh noo! Is this your thesis? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:09 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Gosh no..just a project. Finishing up summer stuff and getting ready to go right back into fall. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:09 PM EDT

What about you...are things wrapping up? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@jshamsy Yep - one class ending next week, but Fall1 starts the following week. Seems when one door closes ... :) so many ideas. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @usablelearning This is a great book! I read probably two years ago..I need to revisit it soon #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Exactly...not much of a break =( #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:12 PM EDT

@jshamsy @usablelearning Right? My students all seem to like it, too. Great examples, storytelling - not your typical textbook. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@jshamsy What are your fall classes? Any more research projects? #iolchat

Moia30hands Aug 10 @ 12:13 PM EDT

Hi all! I'm reading 2 bks- a biography on Karen Carpenter & a history of Ancient Rome (SPQR by Mary Beard)! Quite disparate themes! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@Moia30hands Hello, Moia! Great to see you. :) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@Moia30hands I really enjoy biographies! And am reading a memoir now: https://t.co/EuQB4BHUts #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I have Evaluation (Which will be a team project), Systems Thinking and will be assisting again this semester...#iolchat

Moia30hands Aug 10 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@iolchat I like this topic - so important for us to be reading and our ss too #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@jshamsy Wow! I bet you can see clear through to January or February at this point. Keep on truckin'! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:16 PM EDT

@Moia30hands Agreed! Learning never stops (hopefully) and reading is always an option. :) #iolchat

Moia30hands Aug 10 @ 12:16 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Oh that looks so interesting! Biographies are my favourite - I love reading about real life experiences! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:16 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd It gets worse in the first part of 2017..that is the defense and one more class... =( #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@Moia30hands When I was looking for that link I found that a recent novel has been written about her! More for my reading list ;) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@jshamsy You really* are getting close. Exciting! Overwhelming! And totally worth it. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@Moia30hands @IOLchat Agreed! Just sometimes had to find the time. Using a few minutes here and there seems to help! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I think this might be the last degree..it has been really hard #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I like that idea of a PM course..that is really important! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@jshamsy I think it's my favorite one - good balance of individual and team, and case studies. Practice, practice, practice. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@Moia30hands @CenterOnlineEd Have you shifted to ebooks entirely..or do you still stick with the paperback/hardcover? #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Very important skill! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@jshamsy It IS hard! Give yourself credit for that. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@jshamsy @Moia30hands Great question! What about you? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@jshamsy @Moia30hands I tried a Kindle several years ago, but really prefer a printed book, even when I'm traveling now. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @Moia30hands I don't like ebooks..I like the feel of the paper book- I think ebooks are much more convenient #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:24 PM EDT

@jshamsy @Moia30hands I think if I wasn't using a computer screen all day already I might enjoy eBooks more. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:25 PM EDT

@Moia30hands Is the Ancient Rome book a personal pick or something for class? Looks interesting either way. #iolchat

Moia30hands Aug 10 @ 12:26 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy I haven't shifted 2 ebooks at all really - I am looking at a computer screen all day & like turning pages! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:26 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @Moia30hands I think you can definitely have screen fatigue - gives you a bit of a headache. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@Moia30hands @CenterOnlineEd Regular books look much nicer on the bookcase =) #iolchat

Moia30hands Aug 10 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd It's a personal pick, but cud defo use it when teaching ancient history w Highschoolers or at Uni level. Great read #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@jshamsy @Moia30hands Exactly! I think I also like the visual cues of a printed book - how many pages until next chapter, etc. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:27 PM EDT

I also don't like that ebooks can't be sold/transferred. There seems to be some currency with regular books #iolchat

Moia30hands Aug 10 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd Yes it's nice to have a collection of books u r going to read and books u have read! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@Moia30hands @jshamsy There's a word for "books you've bought but haven't read." Japanese I think? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@jshamsy This is definitely a shortcoming. Loaning and borrowing e-books is more complicated. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:30 PM EDT

I think that the tactile cues of the book add to the mental model - if I am looking for something I can almost "visualize" the page #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:31 PM EDT

If I remember correctly there is no decrease in perf. w/ebooks according to studies - but I think a big personal presence involved #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@jshamsy Absolutely! Was it on the left or right, top or bottom of the page, near the front or end of the book. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:32 PM EDT

I use an eBook as textbook in another class and students like the content, but many complain that it's not available in print. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:33 PM EDT

Tsundoku = "stacked books" https://t.co/xxgbLovlQS #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I think having both delivery methods is a + #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:35 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Ah...guilty! It is fun to go to bookstores and just look around. Hard to resist! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:36 PM EDT

@jshamsy Me, too! We have a huge library used book sale here in the Fall - I always stack-stock up. :/ #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:36 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Even better..supporting the local library. =) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:37 PM EDT

@jshamsy That's what I tell myself anyway. ;) #iolchat

Bkind247 Aug 10 @ 12:38 PM EDT

Hi all, This is a test. Trying to figure out how to join a chat. Think I may have finally figured it out. Yay! "tech-challenged" #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@Bkind247 Hello, Leslie! You have in fact joined #IOLchat. :) Welcome! #InsideOnlineLearning

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:40 PM EDT

@Bkind247 The hashtag is the secret to everything. ;) #iolchat

Bkind247 Aug 10 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Thanks. I'll observe for a bit to see how this works. Looks like fun. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:42 PM EDT

@Bkind247 Sounds like a plan - we are discussing books we are currently reading, preferences for print-eBook formats, etc. :) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:43 PM EDT

Where do you do accomplish most of your reading? #ReadWhereYouAre #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd At home or at work. I like to read before sleeping..but that doesn't last very long =( #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:44 PM EDT

I should say "where and when" RT @CenterOnlineEd Where do you do accomplish most of your reading? #ReadWhereYouAre #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@jshamsy That sounds familiar. End of the day is great, especially for leisure reads, but progress can be slow. #iolchat

Bkind247 Aug 10 @ 12:45 PM EDT

Nothing like a "real" book in hand. #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Different reading spots for different types of reading! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:46 PM EDT

Lunchtime can be a good time for a chapter or two, especially if the weather's not good for getting away from the desk. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:47 PM EDT

@jshamsy Yes! Now that you mention it. Some locations are for serious reading, other locations for the less-serious stuff. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:49 PM EDT

What would you like* to be reading right now? If you didn't have any of the "required" stuff stacking up? #iolchat

Bkind247 Aug 10 @ 12:50 PM EDT

Just finished a great summer read. Stayed up until 3:30 this am in my cozy bed to finish! Don't often do that! Me Before You. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 10 @ 12:51 PM EDT

Late to the party #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:51 PM EDT

@Bkind247 I've heard of that one! What a luxury to have a late Tuesday night reading. :) Very inspiring. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:51 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Hello Karen! Always great to see you here. :) #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 10 @ 12:52 PM EDT

Best read of my summer was #SelfReg by @StuartShanker. Also adored #Drive by @DanielPink. #IOLchat

Bkind247 Aug 10 @ 12:53 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Luxury it is! Treasured and rare moment. #iolchat

karenraycosta Aug 10 @ 12:53 PM EDT

For fiction I loved #Homegoing 👏🏼#iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:55 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Would love to read that Daniel Pink book..it sounds great! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:55 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Thanks for these recommendations! We were also discussing collecting books we want* to read. ;) More time please! #iolchat

jshamsy Aug 10 @ 12:56 PM EDT

@karenraycosta Another one to add to the pile! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:57 PM EDT

Ok, #IOLchat, off to a meeting... Keep reading! And sharing your favorite titles, subjects, and authors.

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Aug 10 @ 12:58 PM EDT

Thanks to @jshamsy @Moia30hands @Bkind247 and @karenraycosta for stopping by today. ;) #iolchat

Bkind247 Aug 10 @ 12:58 PM EDT

Nice chatting. Duty calls. I made history. Figured out something "techie" on my own. Hubby will be proud! Have a nice day! #iolchat
