Very glad to say our #EduTech team @ChicagoKentLaw will receive a "2020 Staff Excellence Award for Innovative Solutions that Improve the Experience of @IllinoisTech Students and/or Alumni"
The notes from faculty & staff on the impact of our work have been an extra boost today!
Hey @caliorg - I couldn't quickly pull up photos of @johnpmayer in various costumes over the years at CALI conferences (#librarianfail), but today FB reminded me of the year I borrowed a key part of his outfit... #CALIcon12 #CALIcon22

Final fun with #CALIcon22 - raffle time!
Usual first Q at this time:
Where next? Don't know!
Want to volunteer as host for #CALIcon23?
Let @johnpmayer know!
Where to go from here:
- value collaboration
- think big to see who's affected / included
- invest in support (training, access, maintenance, & documentation - people leave!)
- who's helped/harmed by the work?
#CALIcon22 @afua_bruce
Communities - we're all in multiple examples!
- be specific about underserved communities
- let people define their own needs
- partnerships to translate into tech specifics
- what needs to change?
- what are the biggest dreams?
Let these big questions drive changes
#CALIcon22
more roles:
Funders/Investors:
- iterative processes take time!
- how long are you committed to this process?
Policymakers:
- do you use tech to gain better input?
- policies for tech: broadband access, limits on data use
#CALIcon22
Examples of roles & orgs:
Social Impact Organizations
- how are staff supported with tech? members? volunteers?
- what does this look like?
Technologists
- are we investing in capacity for those most affected by projects?
