As everyone is aware, I delete my tweets on a rolling basis. But over my morning coffee I had an great discussion with Rolin Moe, David Kernohan, and Maha Bali about innovation which is probably worth snapshotting here.
And, while I’d love to say I just have the greatest instincts, it turns out that Audrey Watters found that graph before in a piece I read three years ago.
It’s sad, really. I suppose I could turn it into a lesson about how Twitter’s quick and unresearched writing is practically a factory for misattribution. But instead I’ll just say All Hail Audrey Watters! and leave it at that. 😉
Hapgood 
Just quick not it was me on Vconnecting (most of that convo, not all – but the part ur quoting. Just got too lazy to switch to my own account)
Thanks I thought so but didn’t want to assume.
P.S. I said to Rolin once that in Islamic scholarship “innovation” translates into “bid3a” (noun) which is derogatory meaning adding something to religious practice that isn’t core and confusing ppl away from the major principles. I wonder how this might apply to education where we get starstruck and forget to check that the new new thing actually makes pedagogical sense. Like most edu innovation really. Like a convo today which i should blog about 🙂
Maha, we should follow that thread a bit because it has similar meaning in reformation Christianity!
