@mwerickson I only discovered Parker Palmer a few years ago, but when I started reading his books I felt like this is someone I have known for a long time. He reminds me a bit of my old teacher John Elder at Middlebury, and of a few others who have deep wells of serenity combined with a love for their students.

@bethanyh it’s funny, that’s the work of one of my students. He showed me in class and one of the quickest ways to help the whole class see it was to put it here on my microblog and then immediately call that up on the classroom computer. Each student is working on a part of this plan for my environmental philosophy class, in which we are talking about the design of a garden but also the ethical considerations of making a garden. Next semester my religion and environment class will likely build the garden, beginning with the plans this semester comes up with. So yes, there’s room for lots of other plants still!

@patrickrhone This is a good idea. I do something similar when I do consulting on AI or run ethical AI workshops for organizations. I ask them: how are you using AI? What are the ways you find it helpful? How is it not helpful? Etc. I get a lot of useful information that way!
