When IT professionals are making #education decisions they are about as effective as #teachers making IT decisions.
Learning styles. Can we please just stop? #education. You cannot claim to be evidence driven and encourage #teachers align with #students learning styles. They don’t exist!
If you are a #teacher talking about “how students can learn the information they need,” then you need to stop. Students don’t need information... they need application, connection, to learn how to learn, expertise, ability to frame and analyze and solve problems, etc.

Wicked problems are interconnected. Each can be both a cause and an effect of others, complicating understanding and solution design. Solutions might even cause unacceptable problems for others. #Interdependence #Systems
For wicked problems, every solution matters. Planners don't get to test like scientists/engineers. Solutions have permanent effects on people. Problem solvers have no right to be wrong and must implement the best possible solution. #Responsibility #Impact
