    Notes on slide 1

    I’m your after dinner mint. What matters… what are some really big things we either take for granted, forget, overlook, or maybe even neglect? Things about making what we do matter. What do we know? What should we know? How should we act? I don’t know, but here’s a list of things I’ve thought about. Light but profound, like a baby’s smile. Mixture of Elmer Gantry and Elmer Fudd. First principles of being an educational technologist. Tall order. I won’t be comprehensive of course, and in fact, I intend to be very very selective. Just a few things My things, not evidence based, not consistent, not defensible.
