Here is the document I would love to capture our thoughts and reflections on.
Twapper Keeper for #colearning

====Information Overload/ Managing your content: Continuing a terrific conversation from Educon: Facilitated by Lisa Thumann and Liz Davis. ==== ====Links, articles, tools, discussions; staying on top of what's hot, what's useful and how can I apply it in my classroom can be a daunting proposition. But floating tool to tool with little or no focus, is a mistake. Building, creating and a system that works for you makes your job harder and more time consuming. Let's bring the information and power of the network to work for us. ====

Presentation Here:


 * ====How can we be sure that we are staying relevant without being bogged down the newest this, or that, or just mindlessly hopping from one tool to the next? ====
 * ====How can we put ourselves and our peers in a position where the best comes to us, without us overwhelming ourselves. We will discuss our own experiences, but more importantly we will brainstorm and share solutions. ====
 * ====Looking at viable and productive web-based solutions that help us find the relevance in what we share, but also manage our stream so we avoid the proverbial "drinking form a firehose", and eye rolls from teammates and colleagues when we bombard them with links, tools, and articles.. ====

Outline for our discussions:

 * Discuss experiences with drinking from a fire hydrant.
 * How do we manage our streams, links, and discussions.
 * How are we sure that when we share we aren't wasting our time.
 * And, how can we use web based tools to do the work for us and bring the data to us in a seamless, coherent fashion.
 * Self
 * Others
