A1 I am not happy with it. Internet is a utility, not a product in our age. Giving the power to the ISPs is putting corporations over people. I will be contacting my representatives to stop this in an unrelenting manner. @RoyBlunt@clairecmc#soapbox#TermLimits#moedchat
Hi, #moedchat. I'm Brian. I teach MS students English in CO. A1 As for net neutrality, I'm pretty sure the net's no such thing ;) When it comes to access, though, for content providers, creators, & consumers, the netural-er, the better, I say.

Gas is gas though, you aren’t paying for specific appliances. With #NetNeutraility gone they start saying well if you don’t use X brand, we’ll have to add to your cost or slow it down so your stove only goes to 170 degrees #moedchat
I understand issue has more than 1 side, Patti. What troubles me is when some of those sides are hidden inside black tech boxes, making it hard to discern actual or potential effects on users. #moedchat
A1 But we don't pay differently when we use the electricity for the dryer or the lights or the blowdryer. We choose HOW we use the electricity once it comes into our house. #moedchat
The ISPs will want to charge more for certain sites, they don’t necessarily require more “internet” than others. Use our streaming service not the other ones or it’ll cost more #moedchat
My prof-geek son says, "Space-X has plans to launch satellite internet access. 10x faster than most current cable companies, and afaik Elon is pro-neutrality, so it could run the rest out of business. E.g. Capitalism gonna be capitalism. 1/2

A2: The big companies will be able to call the shots and decide which websites, content, and applications succeed. This could have a huge effect on edu #MOedchat
2/2 Also: VPNs. Local Charter can't throttle your internet if all of your traffic goes to a server in chicago that bought the all-access package. And these are already popular because people have been paranoid about Charter/NSA snooping on their activity. #moedchat
I heard that AT&T has already send out mailers with teires rates for twitter chats. $2 more a month for tweets, $5 more a month for tweets with gifs $234334 more per month to see @awall777 ‘s tweets #moedchat

A2 I feel like it will cost schools more money to provide the tech-learning that our kids need, further the gap between the haves and the have nots #moedchat
Not sure some politicians care about their constituents at all. I wish special interest groups weren't lining the pockets of our elected officials. #moedchat
You use more internet, you buy a bigger bandwidth, without #NetNeutality though, ISPs say you can’t use that device unless you buy more or you can’t view that information unless you spend more. With gas, we buy more efficient devices, we control how we use it #moedchat
The internet was established to facilitate the free exchange of knowledge-research results. The repeal of net neutrality will limit this access to a diversity of ideas when organizations are able to influence this access. #moedchat#PWMS12Days
Agree, but some of those people have been there too long, but the citizens keep voting them back in, so that is their choice. Just frustrating since Citizens United and all the money corrupting our election process. #moedchat
A2: All I can say is this: we are Ts it is our job to do our best for out Ss no matter what happens. We may have to get even more creative. There are a lot of things shooting themselves and others in the foot. All we can do is be and do our best. #moedchat
Haven’t tried wooden stuff, I’ve required all @LEGO_Group tape to be on the dishwasher, refrigerator or the baby gate… until we move to a new house… #moedchat
Totally agree with you, Glenn! Had a sinking feeling when the Supreme Court ruled on Citizens United. Institutional knowledge and decorum is essential to a smoothly and effectively running government. #moedchat
The money is what corrupts our democracy. If you want an argument against term limits, look at the chaos of the MO Legislature and the loss of institutional knowledge and decorum. Let the people decide, not corporations and interest groups.
A4 I need to perfect my 3D scanning abilities, I’d like to practice with #papersignals more since we are going to create that in January, I also need to start formulating ideas for using a @Google Assistant in class #moedchat

Q5 Last one, how are you going to get yourself ready to attack the hardest quarter of the year? What will you keep in focus during the long winter months of Quarter 3? #moedchat
I know it sounds cynical, but dividing people is a good tactic. Divide and conquer! We need to stand together and make our voices heard. Those people work for us. #moedchat
a5 I'm learning how to do inquiry-based algebra. It just keeps getting better & better. Retention is up, joy is obvious, I've never seen learning like this before. Bring on Q3. #moedchat

We are ending a little early! Please follow your new friends! We will be back in action on January 4th to talk about #edcamp more specifically #edcampstl! #moedchat

Seriously, I can’t keep up with the reminders, it took me like a half hour to set up the others, maybe @kody_stricklin can set them up? Does he even know when it is? #Moedchat
