    1. aspiring

      I'm curious of the use of "aspiring" here. Is it just an uplifiting, novel way to describe all students, or is it somehow hinting at the personal responsibility potential students have to Aspire?

      If there are non-aspiring students, wouldn't we be expected to take the inclusive lens to relationship and perhaps blame ourselves for not meeting them where they are, or not allowing them to engage authenticaly?

    2. innovative

      So, just because today is the day after the presidental election, I am struck by the words "nnovation and experimental. Like, isn't that the point of the whole Make America Great Again thing -- don't just rush forward. Concentrate on the basic stuff. Will we be expected to rein it all it? What part of that makes some sense? Can we do all the basic stuff and also all the new stuff on the same or less resources? Just asking.

    3. access, offerings, and delivery

      "access, offerings, and delivery" doesn't quite capture the notion of expanding the notion of commiunity I'm thinking about my Goldilocker here. It's not really access or offerings that I'm expanding, though often I am sharing links to full-text open-access resources. But also I am sharing a love of learning and a shared curiousity -- Scholarshiop as Conversation!

    1. post-secondary education

      I am noticing just now, how "post-secondary" sort of kind of assumes our community members, aka learners, have attended, graduated from?, "secondary" school. I wonder if that's exclusive in an unintended or in an intended way. Does it give us a shared experience to start together from? Surely, almost all college/university students have graduated secondary school. But all of our learners? Probably not -- patient education!, staff development!!, community outreach!!!

    2. Educators who will mentor our future leaders are in short supply

      What does this mean? It's a pretty broad statement. Is it Educators in general who are in short supply, or just those who are willing to mentor? Is this based on facts? If so, whose facts??

    3. This is a page note. I decide with whom to share this page note -- the options are Post to Public or a private note. I will opt for the public option for this note.

    1. "Share" seems like the lesser of the three "explore, create, share." I guess sharing is publishing and so I get that. I totally get Explore -- but maybe CREATE short changes RESEARCH.

    1. I didn’t kill them. The teams themselves killed each one. And teams kill their ideas as soon as the evidence is on the table because they’re rewarded for it.

      How to imagine this as an org? as a unit? as a team??

    2. With 1.2 million people dying on the roads globally each year, making cars that drive themselves was a natural moonshot to take.

      assumption that self-driving cars are safer?

    3. However cheap they would be in volume, though, we found out it was likely to cost close to $200M for the R&D and materials to design and construct the first one.

      if the threshold is $220M for googleX, what is it for us?

    4. we couldn’t get staple crops like grains and rice to grow this way

      I like this example because it takes the problem of "undernourishment" breaks it down into the nurishing crops that need to grow ... although that surprises me because we grains get a bad rap, nutrition-wize.

    1. Yeager showed that incoming freshmen who get, as part of their orientation, an article about the malleability of the brain and how practice makes it grow new connections are more likely to stay on track in their first semester,

      Yeager's work is mentioned here because it is statistically significant. How significant?? No numbers.

    1. But deciding who has expertise before you search will mediate some of your worst tendencies toward confirmation bias.

      I'm not sure I understand why deciding who is the expert first somehow mitigates my worst tendencies toward confirmation bias. I'm picking my experts based on my bias.

    1. -site:

      Some students will miss the significance of the dash. It might be helpful to describe it as a minus sign, as in "look for this term, minus the site that follows.

    1. at least for the better known ones)

      For the better know...? of for the more intellectual ones? Popularity and reliability are only related in expert circles, maybe.

    1. Going Rambo

      Might not be the best idea to place the "Going Rambo" headline -- which is a reference to the big ram statue below the headline -- so close to the photo of the 1993 bombing aftermath.

    1. Why 2009? We have to pick something. For viral photos I usually find 2009 or 2010 a good starting point. If you don’t find any results with that parameter, then you go higher, to a year like 2012. If you find too many results, then change the search to something like 2007.

      Would be interesting to understand why this is a good starting date.

    1. All along the way, or perhaps somewhere along the way, we have confused surveillance for care.

      My oldest kid is of baby-sitting age, and we've had the same discussion. Not baby-sitting: child-CARE.

      Worth looking into for LPI.

    2. name

      Stereotyping, pigeon-holing, I know why Frey did it, but identity-awareness may be compromised here. Not that they are giving themselves away, but that they are creating characters (complex or otherwise) that may necessitate some processing.

    3. In school students learn abstract concepts, which often are separated from concrete situations and activity.

      In PUBIC AMERICAN schools? All levels? That's pretty old data at this point (1989).

    1. certified as drug recognition experts

      Would the "authorized officers who are certified..." wear something on their shirt or hat or jacket to show me that they know that they're trained?!

      • kid plays while parent works.
      • kid engaged in virtual world; parent in actual.
      • disconnect between child and parent.
