zoom meeting with howard rheingold

We have a unique opportunity to learn directly from Howard Rheingold, author and former faculty member at UC Berkeley and Stanford, who first wrote about how to thrive online, predicted how our use of smart phones would lead to social action and online collaboration, and coined the phrase Virtual Community in his book of the same name. As Forbes Magazine put it, "Howard Rheingold is truly a digital elder. All of the fetishizing of the "digital native" can distract us from the wisdom of those who experienced and shaped the birth of internet culture, and Rheingold was right there, in time and in space."  David Preston will be meeting with Howard on Zoom at 11:30 AM Pacific on Friday, August 14 to discuss creativity, collaboration, and communicating in virtual space as we teach and learn through the coming months. The conversation will be recorded and posted with notes on Monday, August 17. If you would like to propose questions for Howard, or if you would like to attend the Zoom meeting live, please email dpreston.learning@gmail.com. In the meantime, you may want to have a look at Howard's article, "The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online," which you can find right here on this blog.
