Augmenting Our Social Reality: Brainstorm Meeting

May 4, 2015 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

How do we teach vital topics like race, gender, religion with cutting-edge technology? Join our initial conversation to bring this experience to the Pittsburgh community!

As a learning community need to do two things:

1) incorporate mobile technologies into the learning environment rather than prohibit them, and

2) talk about challenging yet necessary issues such as race, gender, religion, nationality, sexuality, spirituality, citizenship, queerness, science, ethnicity, feminism, atheism – the topics that dominate our conversations elsewhere but not in the safest, most constructive environment of all: the classroom.

I’m hosting a brainstorm meeting at The Hardware Store (744 E Warrington Ave) on May 4 to see if others are interested in organizing, designing, curating, or contributing however they can to this effort.

Light food and drink will be served. For now, attendance will be restricted to 20, so if you are truly interested in organizing this event (not just attending it), please RSVP and we may pull you off the wait list.

First join the group – Ed Tech PGH – then REGISTER FOR THE EVENT HERE
