edunators Teachers who read hundreds of [|#edchat] posts are no better than those not on Twitter if they never implement a single new idea

#ISTE12 notes:
 * 5 tips shared for those going to the conference: Tweet, be strategic about who you see in the exhibit hall, don't be afraid to leave a session if it's not the right fit for you, don't be afraid to sway away from colleagues, and find the opportunities that go beyond the sessions.
 * @tomwhitby said cellphones aren't banned and texting in sessions to share is encouraged. Great for learning but unlike many schools.
 * @Joe_Mazza shared [|educators to follow] on Twitter (a Google spreadsheet)
 * @tomwhitby said to check out his latest endeavor on behalf of education - [|Welcome to SmartBlog on Education]
 * more tips shared - some apply to teachers even if they aren't going to ISTE - try something new, be flexible, remember that you're human, engage in a back channel, get social (face-to-face) and stay connected, and there are suggested sessions - I especially think remembering you're human is an important tip. As I take my graduate courses, it's easy to get overwhelmed by everything I'm learning. I just need to remember to do what I can and to start small.
 * A [|blog written by David Warlick]was tweeted about - he addresses concerns about what is going on in the world of education today and what kind of support (financial and otherwise) that it is gettting. Educators need to keep focusing on preparing their students for the future, rather than preparing our kids to be "weighed and measured at the end of each year." Very well said, David!
 * @henrythiele tweeted that we are retiring the phrase "21st century learning" and just saying "learning" - I like this point a lot.
