What are we taking for granted today?

We think we know what our professional identity is.  Chautauquas thought they knew what they were. And for the longest time they did.  But after 1920, a year where they were drew more folks than ever before to their learning tents, they just disappeared.  Poof!

If I had to rename my job it would be this: Serendipity Enhancer

I used to call myself a learning concierge, but now I am moving away from that commerce metaphor and into the mystic.  I think what we are taking for granted is how quickly the rift between our learners and our pedagogic selves is widening.  We gotta leap the chasm before it gets too wide and we are left on the wrong side of that arc.
