We should create small learning communities, not ways to game the system and chrun out diplomas like automobiles. The notes: DEI is everywhere Work on people and self-discovery is at the heart of DEIJ training. It is also an easy way to approach any problem. (really emotional intelligence) Familiarity breeds contempt. Bad things happen when you doomscroll and have no outlet to process and evaluate what you learned with moderately reasonable people. Interacting with people acts as a professional governor. Chat GPT you can beat it by knowing some stuff about the subject. The world changes as the world resists the change. Non-industrialized and non-gamified instruction will turn Chat GPT into a tool, not a problem. Education has become an assembly line. There is an economics of academic scale. Large schools have money to provide things that bring more students into classes whose tuition pays for more things to attract more students who take more classes…. Why is it ok to turn in someone else's work? We need to create networks of small learning communities that can use large-scale classroom sessions as jumping-off points. Everything should be blended learning. Students LIKE IT. You got a grade, now you are in the legislature. You keep the status quo because it is what you know.

    Pat Wagner's penultimate public appearance. Lessons over 44 years. Every time I hear you speak, I feel braver. You should meet the needs of your community. Have a sincere desire to like people and to serve people. Don't show benign contempt. Don't dominate under the guise of service. Serve with a clear heart with compassion and empathy for everyone. The three types of libraries: the Comfort Zone library, the same old stuff, and the Responsive library, can be expensive, fad driven, and cater to the loudest voices, and the Visionary library, think and be different take risks and learn from mistakes and failures. Libraries like this tend to be really rich or really desperate. Pat would ask libraries, what percentage of these types of libraries are you? You should explore failures. Innovation is a process, not an event. Why did we build it THIS way? Monuments to ego, not service. One library consulted with its staff to figure out the right type of floor to install. They saved time and money by installing what the custodian staff recommended. Tom recommended the book How Buildings Learn. The building as a system. When designing a building think about maintenance and future use. One library had to have the custodian polish the chrome pillars all day because they were high-touch areas. Don't try to be everything for everyone. The library is not Pizza (which everyone likes) While you have competition, your community comprises current customers, future customers, and potential partners. Think of listening as a radical endeavor.
