Chapter 4: Step 2 Communication

Communication in the 21st Century is different. We still have to relate to ourselves as individuals and relate to others face-to-face, but a whole complex world of technopersonal skills and digital citizenship has arisen that we don't really understand.
The first section of this chapter, Self, aims to simplify and make sense of the complexity of communicating online. The School section we introduce the concept of teachersourcing and how to set up for global project success. In the Student section we focus on student communication and discuss maintaining momentum in a project.

A video

Projects often have keynotes that speak to the students and make topics current and relevant and provide connection to globally recognized experts.

"What we are seeing is a new way to communicate between humans empowered by technology....A student without web access has no opportunity to develop the technopersonal skills essential for success in today's world" pg.65
