“...there is no word
for
"accountability"
in Finnish.”

“Accountability is
what's left when you
take out

“I wish we could stop
using the word
"accountable" and
instead talk about
"responsible". It

“Bringing smart people
together is an ancient
and effective technique
for developing ideas. The

weirdness that is now
being reflected in how
expertise works....”

What, if any are your
obligations to share
beyond your students?

What could/should
you share?

With Whom?

What are the dangers?

What are the benefits?

Can I find
your best work online?

“Goodness, share whatever you like. I’ll take care of
filtering on this end.
p.s. I’m not one of your YouTube subscribers (I
subscribe to something like one channel) but I would
definitely watch you hitting golf balls across a frozen
lake.”

trust and sharing,
accountability is built in,
not contrived or imposed,
