Digital Inquiry
Collect and analyze data to assess digital learning needs and/or evaluate the impact of digital learning in authentic settings (NETS-A.4, NETS-C.4).

During the execution of this project, my own data was scooped up by CBS News in a follow up story about how viewers reacted to a story by Anderson Cooper. The irony was not lost on me and I plan to be more careful about "public" tweets, while refusing to set my account to private. For what would be the point as I continue to build my Digital Professional Learning Network?
