The moment you've busted a gut to get to a 10:00 am meeting...

There are some downsides to good #PersonalKnowledgeManagement. This afternoon, I was reading about the use of black henbane in ancient Rome.

theADHDacademicIf you're interested in #pedagogy and having challenging conversations with students, you might be interested in Constructive Dialogues, which I recently found. They have free resources (in addition to paid trainings). You can filter by audience ( #HigherEd ) and instructor guides or activities or tools and so forth. They have a Conversation Simulator that is pretty quick and likely a good conversation starter. Definitely worth bookmarking.
