Recent events confirm we needs math, science, ethics, civics education more than ever.

Humans are wonderful at rationalizing dumb choices.

“Faculty development is ‘duck-duck-goose.’” I’ve been around a long time, but have never heard that one. I'm not even sure what it means,

Excellence isn’t perfection.

“Design thinking isn’t just following a model that has ‘design’ in the title.”

Social presence isn’t community.

Some leaders’ concept of “collaboration” sure seems conflated with “do what I tell you.”

Paraphrasing Richard Dawkins: Have the courage to be unsure.

“It’s never too late to collect data ethically.”

What is students’ role in deciding what information is collected, how and why it’s used? If none, then we need to fix that.

Does education theory really treat learning as remembering?

How much if our work is perpetuating dysfunctional systems?

When I hear teacher educators let “learning styles” slip, I cringe.

I’m always skeptical when employers complain about workers. What if you paid better wages? Would you get the skills you want but can’t hire?

Freemium is really not free, it certainly isn’t #OER
