Howard Rheingold has been living in, thinking about and writing about social media and virtual communities even before the terms were coined. In fact, he was the one who coined the term virtual community. Howard joined us for a conversation about these topics and their relation to education, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the listening to the conversation:

One of my job responsibilities is to do staff development for educators. I think these same philosophies mentioned in this episode apply there as well. Building a PLN for (no- not “for”, but WITH) educators teaching the same topics or facing the same issues helps everyone improve their practice. Nice job on the podcast guys. Keep up the good work.
