keepmehere or movemeon?

I love the #movemeon book. I can't use all the ideas - but as the last tweet says, one thing at a time.

I've also enjoyed the #keepmehere tweets, although I'm alarmed at the number of tweets that I've heard people in school say in all seriousness. In addition to this I was lurking around a lot of #edread tweets on World Book Day. Here's a #keepmehere I read...

#keepmehere reading your book in class while the children are working reinforces how to read well.
(From @mister_jim)

But then, a bit later I read this ...

When having silent reading, read a book as well. Set an example and they'll follow. #edread
(from @daveterron)

I'm not a literacy expert, but this was advice I was given when last a Y7 tutor and we had a regular silent reading slot. What really made me think is that it is being quoted as a strategy here in two completely contradictory ways!

It's not really about reading. That is the example that I saw here, but who's to say what's definitely right, or definitely wrong in teaching. Maybe that's the trouble with twitter - your average tweet doesn't need the research to back it up.

Who's to say that my #movemeon contributions are any good? They work for me, and that's all I'm saying. Similarly with most of the keepmehere.

Just an observation...

(and thankyou to @mister_jim and @daveterron for letting me quote them).
