Today's sessions were a mix of vision, strategy, challenges, tools, connections, and ideas -- no major surprises, some nice confirmations, and some unexpected uses of terms that I had not heard before.
For example, I did not know what it means to flip a web site -- I have to admit, I am still not sure I understand it, though it sounded like adding interactivity and responsiveness to audience needs was the definition.
Talk more with students -- as a whole -- whether it is for vision, strategy, tools, connections -- they are part of the vision, they can help with the strategy, they know the tools and can create the connections.
When implementing new technologies, keep the tone exploratory and playful to lower the stress level -- everyone is already stressed out enough about getting it right.
Culture trumps strategy -- I guess that means you have to bluff really well for strategy to be successful.
Yes, there were other things, more hands on, like 3-d printing -- and what does that do to copyright and entrepreneur questions? Customized textbooks -- and what does that do to copyright, creative commons if you embed such videos into the text and then have students pay for the compilation? Medical students studying in a cohort that will have as a problem/project to solve the issue of lower life expectancy in low income neighborhoods -- and how to raise the expectancy.
