Laura &
Jeff -- what has happened since 2013...post dissertation completion - you can read our big papers here, if you’d like:
What we are teaching as faculty full-time and as adjuncts:
Potential topics for future podcasts for @BreakDrink might include:
- Moving to higher ed in the Netherlands, if you move permanently & become a Dutch citizen you must choose your nationality.
- Laura’s experience learning to play and love the ukulele. Thanks, Joyce. #BestGiftEver p.s. Joyce is dutch, so we should talk to her Jeff
- BreakDrink reunion show to catch up with the BD family + shout out to @julieclarsen for recent visits we had to Seattle.
- Melbourne coffee IS a thing -- despite what Jeff thinks. Why I (and others) love Melbourne’s coffee culture. Jeff puts “book a trip to Melb” on the calendar.
- Breakfast tacos + more foodie talks -- WHERE OR WHO has the best breakfast tacos in Texas? Here’s a top 10 list of breakfast taco places in TX found about said topic. This debate is to be fact-checked & verified in person. Jeff thinks San Antonio - Laura is not sure, but willing to explore this topic further and in-person... for science.
- #naspa17 Conference in San Antonio, TX in Jeff’s home town in March -- perhaps a live session at The Friendly Spot (you’ve been warned) or in Jeff’s backyard.

Reflecting on the Campus Tech Connection (#CTCX)-Breakdrink from September 20, 2013
- You predicted we would have phones with the screens as large as an iPad
- Data plans would change and we would be charged by data usage
- Kindle Fire - not impressed with their 4G for $50/year program
- The business models of publishing & bookstores on campus will be challenged by online Use of tablets and BYOD in the classroom will increase
- State legislature involvement to digitize textbooks & courses
- Productivity Hacks -- discussed ahead = our best hack, not podcasting anymore
- Jeff mentioned TED Ed “create your own” lesson plan -- irony, @julieclarsen found my time management lesson plan I tinkered with for her UW FIGs class

What is BreakDrink Podcast?
BreakDrink is an occasional chat with Jeff Jackson and Laura Pasquini about life, work, and random stuff. There’s a good chance you’ll hear these co-hosts talk about their thoughts on current events, ukuleles, the NBA, podcasts, higher ed, rescue dogs, research, books, technology, and tacos… not in any particular order. They may even invite a friend to the pod to chat. Really, it’s a podcast to encourage you to take a break from the day and have a friend fill your cup.
