We are excited to help kick off the #IMMOOC book study with educator, author, speaker, and all around awesome guy, Dave Burgess. We will talk about his thoughts on education, and how he exemplifies “The Innovator’s Mindset” in not only education, but in his endeavours as a publisher who is changing the way we think about educational books.
This hangout will take place on Saturday, September 17 at 5pm PST (8pm EST).
Here is the format of the show:
- 10 Good Minutes with Dave Burgess
- 15 Minutes of Conversation (5 topics/3 Minutes) with myself and Katie Martin
- 5-10 Minutes of “viewer questions
Each show after will be in a similar format. The guests will only be on for a short time to ensure that the hangouts are not too long to watch after the fact as well. They will be short and sweet.
Before the show, we would love your questions so please post them here.
All shows will be on “The Innovator’s Mindset” YouTube channel, and will be posted after the fact as well. They will also be posted just prior to the #IMMOOC hashtag and Facebook Group.
Our plan for each week is the following:
- YouTube Live Show on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. This will be posted immediately to this website with the blog prompts for the week.
- Tuesday(ish) announcement of next week’s guest and housekeeping items.
- Thursday (ish) will highlight a few participant posts from the week on the blogging topic and posts directly related to the book and book study.
- Repeat
Some housekeeping this week:
- Buy the book if you haven’t already.
- Enter the “Selfie-Contest”.
- Add your blog to the #IMMOOC blog form.
- Write or share a blog post to the#IMMOOC hashtag and Facebook Group.
- Join the Voxer group or Google Hangout groups if you like.
Final Thoughts
I just wanted to thank so many people for joining this opportunity. I have been overwhelmed with the tweets and ideas that have been sharing, but the “selfies” that have been shared have really put a face on the people behind the avatars. This is something that I believe in deeply:
Thank you for making these connections that are more about humans learning and inspiring one another, than about how we use technology.
Looking forward to continuing to read and be inspired by all of you!
George
