Maha Bali, Robin DeRosa, and Mike Truong discuss changing our minds about teaching on episode 200 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode
I have learned that I don’t need to defend technology.
—Mike Truong

What happens if you structurally start to build [courses] around the real-world issues that students are bringing in?
—Robin DeRosa

In certain times of my life I think better in a synchronous way, talking to someone immediately. And other times I just need to step back and write.
—Maha Bali
