When Michael puts dishes away vs. When I put dishes away.

And she leaves extra time on the microwave. I think it’s a testament to our relationship that we can work past these major issues.

"Success in our efforts to contribute to student learning depends completely on how well we collaborate with instructors, librarians, media specialists, technologists, and the other professionals that contribute to the development and running of a course. The team approach to education is particularly apparent in a blended or online course, as these technology enabled classes require the efforts of many “non-traditional” educators to support the faculty member in meeting her teaching goals. An educational technologist or learning designer is particularly dependent on the quality of their relationships as they seldom can rely on organizational authority. We are persuaders and project managers, partners and collaborators, but we are not bosses. In the matrix structure that is the university an educational technologist without good relationships across campus will get very little accomplished."
