Small Teaching/Big Learning
I really appreciate the readings from week three – especially “Small” Teaching Online by Doug Lederman. In particular, his point that “we struggle to know what good teaching and learning looks like in online classes” really resonated with me. As a trumpet teacher, I cannot …
Networking Week
My favorite thing from networking week was the game by Nicki Case. I found this very entertaining and informative at the same time. Many elements work together to achieve this. Animations To begin with, it has very clean and interactive graphics. Your cursor is a …

Forming Connections Digitally
I was recently at a symposium for teaching entrepreneurship at Babson College and one of the sessions was on the idea of networking and how to get people to actually do it. The need for networking is fairly intuitive – humans are social animals and …
