Help! #katefail

Well it seems my brain is still a bit fluish and I consequently forgot to start the recording for last night’s debrief class.

So I have a request: could those of you who attended last night provide a definition of one or two of the buzzword bingo terms in the comments here?

That way, those who didn’t attend class will benefit from your new knowledge.

Thanks in advance!
