Really impressed by @helenleigh's work on @doitkits. What a brilliant classroom tool. http://doitkits.com #edtech #k12 #electronics

This looks like a much-needed, really useful resource for #edtech - lots of useful ideas and products. https://twitter.com/amdulin/status/753322513057271808

What is an API? I wrote an introduction, including open APIs and personal APIs. https://words.werd.io/what-is-an-api-bd913f45ff23?source=linkShare-3b16402f5b9d-1467731643 #edtech #opensource #opendata #api

What are APIs, anyway? And what is a Personal API? https://words.werd.io/what-is-an-api-bd913f45ff23#.fteulfohq #edtech #apis #opensource #opendata

Genuine Digital Humanities question: to what extent are software development practices taught or discussed in these curricula? #edtech

This is the best explanation of a Personal API in an #EdTech setting I've read. http://www.windley.com/archives/2016/05/building_a_virtual_university.shtml

IndieWeb Summit is soon! If you care about the open web, I'd love to see you there. http://2016.indieweb.org/ #indieweb #indieedtech #edtech

Some thoughts for educators trying to shoehorn git into being useful for them: https://medium.com/@benwerd/git-for-teachers-e993d2ca423d#.25b7v7wk5 #edtech

New question for #edtech and others. Is Silicon Valley good or evil (broadly speaking)? Why, exactly?

Which software do you use every day that isn't corporate-backed? #edtech, I'm particularly asking you.

Do I have to write a piece about why using the blockchain for #edtech is a lousy idea? It sounds like I might.

I want to see universities joining forces as stakeholders for a structured #edtech #startup fund, like @mattervc offers media. Gamechanging.

Universities are becoming billion dollar hedge funds. (They should use some of that money to fund #edtech.) http://www.thenation.com/article/universities-are-becoming-billion-dollar-hedge-funds-with-schools-a...

Savvy provides 1-on-1 teaching and learning via live video (and has an amazing team). https://www.producthunt.com/tech/savvy-4 #edtech #tutoring

Question for #edtech! Choose one:

1. Services you use carry ads
2. You pay a license fee
3. You pay developers directly.

Which, & why?

Regardless of where else you share it, if you believe in #openaccess you should put your research on the open web. #indieweb #edtech

Lots of people talking about #openaccess and #opensource today. Not seeing a lot of people explain how to pay for these networks. #edtech

Great use of @Pinterest by @hanjabanja: all the moths in California common enough to have a common name. https://www.pinterest.com/hannahwerdmulle/moths-of-california/ #edtech

If you care about #edtech, these information-rich summaries by Audrey Watters are a must-read. http://hackeducation.com/2015/12/23/trends-business/

Two thirds of investors believe #edtech is overvalued - and less than a third think freemium is sustainable. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2015-12-11-majority-of-investors-think-edtech-companies-are-overvalued

Do It Kits are a way to bring Raspberry Pi, Arduino and other hackable tech into the classroom. Awesome! http://doitkits.com/?ref=Imnb6 #edtech
