Observations & Recommendations

1.  Summary of your "8th Principles"

You want to foster and support:

• Curiosity, Respect, Responsibility, Caring
• Reflection (on ideas, about self, about one's own learning, about one's own teaching)
• Outreach, Articulation, Engagement
• Individualized Learning & Teaching

2.  "Clothing the Emperor" & "Dangerous Discussions"

• Moore's Law does NOT apply to human learning.
• Teaching and learning have changed a lot in 10 years!  And will continue to ...
• We can't keep up.
• We - all of us - need "Universal, Collaborative, Hybrid/Blended Lifelong Professional Development"

3.  Deeper Learning, Team Learning, & Compassionate Pioneering
[Option #2 from Seven Options for Online/Hybrid/Blended/Collaborative
 "Larger" Classes &
Professional/Faculty Development.]

4.  "You are not alone!" - Working Together,
Building Together!
"Keeping Up"
Planning Universal, Collaborative, Hybrid/Blended
Lifelong Professional Development as Educators

Getting Beyond "Us vs. Them"  
Helping, Matchmaking?
New (< 5 years?) + Old (> 10 years?)
Start with two by two exchange:  one piece of advice, one interesting/useful observation, one LTA, one practice that works?
Better:  Build something together!  A blog?

5.  Joys and Sufferings
