This chapter discusses the importance of discussing copyright with students and introduces the tool Pinboard for link management. They explain its use in research and organization for teaching and working with clients, and mention the option to archive articles for a fee. They also express excitement for future Q&A episodes and briefly discuss the TV show The Wonder Years.
This is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning. We also share ways to increase our personal productivity approaches, so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students.

Pay attention to wishes… dreams… going to take a lot to get there. grit. resilience.
From Psychology Today:
“Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. Psychologists have identified some of the factors that make someone resilient, among them a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback.”

Politics in higher ed. power. French and Raven’s five bases of power.
From MindTools:
“One of the most notable studies on power was conducted by social psychologists John French and Bertram Raven, in 1959.” They identified five bases of power:
- Legitimate – This comes from the belief that a person has the formal right to make demands, and to expect compliance and obedience from others.
- Reward – This results from one person’s ability to compensate another for compliance.
- Expert – This is based on a person’s superior skill and knowledge.
- Referent – This is the result of a person’s perceived attractiveness, worthiness, and right to respect from others.
- Coercive – This comes from the belief that a person can punish others for noncompliance.
