A1 Also, voice recognition instead of typing #LTHEchat

A4 #LTHEchat Happy to try and do things properly. Oddly reluctant to talk about good practice. Although I do sometimes.

A1 #LTHEchat A Chinese student wrote something in chat in Chinese in my workshop this morning. I replied in Chinese. I know no Chinese. But Google Translate does.

We all need help, from time to time. We could model “asking for help”. I often do it

I don’t know. Sometimes, you just do the right thing, and trust. But could we compare student results?

‘el No! Sorry, I scrambled that.

Maybe the third space is the space in the middle, the space that joins, integrates,the other two spaces? That sounds to me like a powerful place to be. In the middle. Inescapable. A1 #lthechat

A2 #LTHEchat The biggest problem may be being taken seriously - “ You’re not a proper academic, are you?” “Yes. I research, publish.” “What’s your subject?” “Higher education.” “Is that a proper subject?” And so it rolls.

Diane, yes. We may be safer when we can prove that we achieve what we achieve.

I’m not sure. One possibility is just to do the job, and prove that it works?

Santanu, that sounds pretty academic to me!

Sarah, I know. But its got books, journals, research. Maybe your colleague doesn’t want education to be a subject because, if it was, she’d have to take it as seriously as her own subject? Rather than just something she does on the side.

Mentoring is fun and rewarding. The mentor learns so much!

A4 #LTHEchat Sorry, but – most of it has to be integrated. Otherwise it’s just fragments.

Spend copious time listening to students. Many good things will follow. Listening to, conversing with – but not so much talking to, and certainly not talking at!

Just a flight of fancy.

A6 #LTHEchat Everybody will be at the party. Sharing, listening, talking, laughing, planning, dreaming… and saying “Happy Holiday everybody!”
