    1. We need to find ways to bring the big picture of what is happening in the world around us into our classroom. This may be easier for some courses than others, of course. But even if we can’t do it in ways relevant to the course itself, we can still find a few minutes to have candid conversations with students about what’s happening in their lives besides education.

      Yes indeed. Especially at a global level.

    2. try to take a small step beyond it to be more accessible as a human being to your students. 

      This is such an important point. It's hard for many reasons. One is that we often expect professional quality - not only from faculty but also media. Yet authenticity counts for so much!

    1. every-one involved in higher education teaching and learning will need to break with longstanding models and adopt “NGDLE thinking,” being open to different approaches and encouraging the community to progress along the NGDLE path

      This is both the strength and weakness of NGDLE. It's calling for a massive rethink of not just the LMS, but also of education and technology in general... and involving the entire post-secondary population. It's a conceptual and practical revolution.
