Email Action Items

Needs Response

  • Josh Weiss (last night): “Can you join us?” for 10am Flash Lab/Tinkery meeting — respond or just show up
  • Wen (2 emails, Feb 9): Database schema for MyBook data capture + survey instrument design. Substantial — needs thoughtful review. Can wait until after Wednesday’s Summit.

Needs Action

  • Joe Sherman: Quoted impact reminder — add Fatma’s Oman thank-you email to Airtable. Done: added to quoted-impact.md today (see below).
  • Josh (test1): Josh sent a test email from personal Gmail. Low priority — ask him what he was testing if it comes up.

FYI (notable)

  • Dan Schwartz stepping down as GSE dean — major institutional news. 11 years as dean. Worth discussing with Josh re: implications for SAL.

Session Notes

End of Day Summary

  • Completed:
    • Flight ONT → SJC, checked into Comfort Inn Palo Alto
    • Flash Lab / Tinkery meeting with Gregory Wilson + Josh (10am) — partnership expansion
    • AS:DE team meeting with Josh (11am) — Joe declined, became 1:1. Discussed Legal 101 email, scaling strategy.
    • Sent Legal 101 Workshop invite email (reviewed with Josh + Sam’s feedback incorporated)
    • Teaching w/ AI Community Share-out (1:30-3pm) — rich notes on AI personas, mirror bots, CASA paradigm, sli.do
    • Personal Logic Model — deep reflection on professional value. Created reference/personal-logic-model.md with operating modes, defensibility roadmap, evidence chains. Added dashboard view at /logic-model.
    • Dashboard fixes: verse show/hide toggle (finally working!), operating modes badge overflow, logic model nav moved to Reference, gap removal when verse hidden
  • In Progress:
    • MyBook/Wen review (database schema + survey design) — deferred to after Summit
    • CRM re-engagement campaign — 5 emails drafted but not sent
  • Deferred to Tomorrow:
    • Post Legal 101 workshop announcement to Slack (planned for Wed morning)
    • Wen’s MyBook emails review

Decisions Made

  • Logic Model framed as a question (“What happens differently because I’m here?”) rather than a tagline — more honest and evolving
  • Operating modes with defensibility ratings: Format Designer (High), Strategic Filter (High), Builder (Medium), Sounding Board (Lower but pipeline)
  • One-line strategy: “Stop being the person who builds things. Become the person who designs the systems that let other people build and experiment at scale.”

Notes for Tomorrow

  • AI+Education Summit day — this is the big event. Review schedule tonight.
  • Dentist rescheduled to April 15 ✓
  • Dave meeting rescheduled (no time yet) — text Dave to suggest Friday breakfast?
  • Flight home: Southwest 1642, SJC → ONT, 7:05 PM (confirmation BQY755)
  • Post Legal 101 Slack announcement in morning

Tonight

  • Help Jonathan with CS homework
  • Ask Jonathan about CAP (he’ll miss tonight’s meeting too)
  • Review AI+Education Summit schedule
  • Consider reviewing quarterly goals (goals/q1-2026-goals.md) — discussing with Josh at Thursday 1:1. Still in draft from Jan 21. Lots to update: Oman delivered, ISTE progress, Logic Model as reflective practice for Goal 4.
