In @BreakDrink Episode no. 31 @ValerieHeruska joins us to talk about dogs, elections, and technology conference experiences in no particular order. If you tweet at us to chat, we’re bound to open up the mic for a random conversation on the BreakDrink pod. 

Val heard the word algorithm many times at #edu18 so she wanted to come chat with us @BreakDrinkers about it after her trip to Denver. Here are a few things we talked about:
-- Braindate https://e180.co/we-do/ 
-- Educause Learning Initiative https://www.educause.edu/eli 
- What’s Intellectual Property (IP)? http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/
- Do you know what the IP laws & regulations at your higher ed institution?  Find out before you create and develop on/at/for your campus OR role!
- Fluids flowing -- coffee, drink tickets, and more... OH MY! {thanks to many tech vendors}
- Interesting perspective taking from a residence life/housing point of view to bring to the table that isn’t often looked at as a domain within Educause
- How do you define student success through your lens on campus? What does it mean when you bring different domains, disciplines and functional areas together to support student success with technology?
