What happens when our inventions exceed us?
Yeah, can we stop with “I have more of a comment than a question” during Q&A? We all do. Write it on your blog.
Some conspiracies are true. That doesn’t mean all conspiracies are true.
We can trace lecturing to Plato. Do we really believe there have been no better teaching methods developed in the centuries since?
“Most learning happens in the absence of a teacher.” Yeah… I can’t dispute that conclusion.
So much good practice is rejected because folks (falsely) believe their current practice is optimal.

One thing I learned during 35 years in education: what you do for short-term learning is usually wasted (a few exceptions can be justified).
Pickle ball players and tennis players disputing access to courts. Is this really a newsworthy issue?
Yeah, so I’m at that age where I see “old people” and then learn they are younger than I am.
Knowledge matters. The ability to use that knowledge matters more.
