Lifelong Learning 2.0

I know it is Tuesday.  But this couldn’t wait. I wanted to tell you about two great online events coming up on Wednesday, June 17th. If you aren’t able to make it, check out the recordings.

I just have a few minutes to post, so I will copy the details directly from Steve Hargadon’s email:

At 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern I’ll be interviewing Rachel Dretzin, the producer and director of PBS FRONTINE’s “Digital Nation” project, who will give us a tour of the project and talk specifically about what the educational community can do to be a part of it. Among other projects, Rachel was also the producer of “Growing Up Online,” a Frontline show that became a touchstone for many of us. Rachel has asked for *lots* of audience participation and feedback in this event, so please join us if your schedule allows!

Then, at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern, I’m hosting an amazing panel on the future of books and reading, prompted by recent stories in the Wall Street Journal and Wired Magazine. Join us as we talk about the changing roles of author and reader in a social media world, and where everyone can “contribute to the conversation.” Panelists: Will Richardson, Bob Burg, Travis Alber, Aaron Miller, and Maggie Tsai.
