Reporting live from the #HLC conference in Chicago.
DAY 1: The Keynote that kicked it off was essentially a TED talk and it was really great. Talk about innovative. Talk about boundary pushing. Is this what the whole conference is going to be? Wow.
Day 2: Sad trombone.
There is clearly some great information here and there are some well intentioned people here, but it seems that most people who present at education conferences have either forgotten that talking AT a room full of people while showing black words on a white page is not a way to connect or engage the listeners OR they are just not good at teaching. I hope it isn’t the latter, but honestly, if I conducted my classes the way most people at this conference present, I would be pulled into the Dean’s office and my Rate My Professor rating would be full of 1 stars with the hashtag #BAF attached. I am not sure if kids use BAF as a hashtag for boring as fuck. Let’s pretend they do.
Day 3 looks promising. The sun is rising over the river. Chicago. Hope springs eternal.
Higher ground. Higher Learning. Needing a Higher tolerance for bullshit.
