So I found a random post-it note on my computer’s “Stickies” function. I have no idea when or where this note was taken. I have a feeling it was during a webinar that happened sometime during Connected Educator month, but I’m really not sure! I think someone wrote the quote in the chat section and I composed my thoughts on this note before typing in tthe chat window of the webinar. It may have been a webinar moderated by Steve Hargadon? Anyway, it was interesting, so I thought I’d share.

I typed it into this Powerpoint slide:
