When Editor Les Moller approached me about writing this chapter, I was hesitant. I know the demands of academic writing, and I wasn’t sure that my schedule could accommodate the assignment. Les assured me that he would be happy if I wrote what I had said in my dinner remarks at the AECT research symposium on which this volume is based. I agreed to do it. In our subsequent communication, Les suggested a jazz metaphor for the reflection chapters. I have taken him at his word and used some concepts from jazz to organize the flow of my comments. It seemed fitting. As a novice vibraphonist, I look to the great Lionel Hampton for inspiration. For those unfamiliar with jazz, I have included a glossary of terms at the end of the chapter.
