If you clicked into the #EDU12 hashtag during the 2012 Educause annual conference last week, you know that the tweet frequency in Denver was high enough to be worthy of the city's elevation.
Education Dive already put together a list of the higher education and IT show's biggest announcements. As for its tweets, we thought we would leave that to tech professionals that Educause was held to serve. We watched the discussion all week. By Friday, we learned that Educause has its own Hulk and that Elliott Masie has shiny shoes, but we also found words of wisdom from these CIOs:
1. We already do badges #edu12, we call them certifications. Things like PMI, Oracle, MS Developer. . . .
– Timothy Chester, University of Georgia
2. Raw computation is not a very useful thing to teach. If you can answer the ? in Wolfram Alpha, it's not an interesting ?. T. Gray #edu12

3. Change your vicious circles into virtuous ones by adopting a mobile/social/cloud strategy. Transparency + collaboration = Trust #CIO #edu12
– Phil Komarny, Seton Hill University
4. Big change coming to higher ed is OPENNESS. Social media playing a significant role. #EDU12
