I had a wonderful break – filled with fun, family, walking, hiking, reading, quiet, and reflection. One annual ritual is to create “To Do/Not To Do/Reflection” notebook where I use modified bullet journaling to track my progress.

It is about making it possible for participants to capture, share, and reflect on what they have learned. I also was a guest lecturer for a Berkeley MBA Class on networks. I will continue to do deep reflection on my instructional design and delivery and continue to share insights here on the blog.

Outreach Let’s say you run your museum's education department, and you have two vans that go out to schools to do in-classroom programs exposing students to museum content. Do you feature lectures by non-locals in your educational programs? Or are you primarily interested in reflecting and presenting local content and perspectives?
