A great tool for looking at your #Twitter #activity in story form. #MSCEDC http://t.co/NiGOwcpMNd

This report was interesting as I had never seen my activity on Twitter as described above. To be honest, it didn’t highlight anything I didn’t know already (apart from perhaps my interest in politics). This Twitter account was originally created to tweet homework to my first grade students and their parents. I have another private Twitter account and I hope to compare the QuillConnect report from that one with this one over the following week.

A Plunge and Squish View of the Mind

Martyn — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 04:50:32 +0000

This article caught my eye as it goes back to the first unit, looking at memory and the human mind. We are still investigating/researching how the mind and memory fully works, here we see the mind setting up general rules, slightly similar to algorithms, programming and the rules on IFTTT. The plunge and squish theory is something I will be investigating over the Summer when I get to read a bit more by David Gelertner.

MOOC Content

Martyn — Sat, 14 Feb 2015 17:20:45 +0000

The MOOC content is really very engaging, I have greatly enjoyed the course so far, the information is delivered in a direct, simple manner, via video lectures. This tweet reflects how I started engaging with the material.

Anyone struggling with a work/life balance should reconfigure their idea of this concept. @Wharton @StewFriedman #FourWayWins #MSCEDC
