What we are teaching as faculty full-time and as adjuncts:

• Laura: teaching scholarship experience as a lecturer + HEAL 570: Leveraging Technology for in Higher Education Environments (via Royal Roads); mentioned UWM’s Administrative Leadership Masters program online; also research with The Digital Learning & Social Media Research Group
• Jeff: Is the Dean of Student Affairs at UTSA School of Medicine; also adjuncts with the UTSA HSA program - Foundations of Student Affairs (see more here) + organizational management

Potential topics for future podcasts for @BreakDrink might  include:

• Moving to higher ed in the Netherlands, if you move permanently & become a Dutch citizen you must choose your nationality.
• Laura’s experience learning to play and love the ukulele. Thanks, Joyce. #BestGiftEver p.s. Joyce is dutch, so we should talk to her Jeff
• BreakDrink reunion show to catch up with the BD family + shout out to @julieclarsen for recent visits we had to Seattle. 
• Melbourne coffee IS a thing -- despite what Jeff thinks. Why I (and others) love Melbourne’s coffee culture. Jeff puts “book a trip to Melb” on the calendar.
• Breakfast tacos + more foodie talks -- WHERE OR WHO has the best breakfast tacos in Texas?  Here’s a top 10 list of breakfast taco places in TX found about said topic. This debate is to be fact-checked & verified in person. Jeff thinks San Antonio - Laura is not sure, but willing to explore this topic further and in-person... for science.
• #naspa17 Conference in San Antonio, TX in Jeff’s home town in March -- perhaps a live session at The Friendly Spot (you’ve been warned) or in Jeff’s backyard.

Reflecting on the Campus Tech Connection (#CTCX)-Breakdrink from September 20, 2013

My goodbye to BreakDrink -- show highlights that might make us prolific? (not really)

• You predicted we would have phones with the screens as large as an iPad
• Data plans would change and we would be charged by data usage
•  Kindle Fire - not impressed with their 4G for $50/year program
• The business models of publishing & bookstores on campus will be challenged by online Use of tablets and BYOD in the classroom will increase
• State legislature involvement to digitize textbooks & courses 
• Productivity Hacks -- discussed ahead = our best hack, not podcasting anymore
• Jeff mentioned TED Ed “create your own” lesson plan -- irony,...
