An assortment of things I’ve read and enjoyed over the last week or so. Because of who I am and what I do, there’s a lot that’s tech-related, but it’s not *all* computers, I promise!

Chelsea Troy wrote a great article on Syllabus Design. I’ve done some basic syllabus design before, for short internal / client workshops, but it’s all been very ad-hoc - this article walks through a sample syllabus with context and rationale, and looks great for the next time I’m doing structured teaching.
DRMacIver’s Teach People How To Do Things hammers home that “hard work is sufficient for success” is a toxic and dangerous myth - working on *the right things* is absolutely crucial.
Another great post from DRMacIver on Building Friendships - you don’t really “make friends” so much as “build friendships”, and it’s worth thinking about that from a mechanical perspective (while important to acknowledge the problems with doing so!)
