Gardner Teaches, Part I

May 6, 2009 By 7 Comments

This is the first in a series of posts presenting video from our 9th Annual Symposium on Communication and Communication-Intensive Instruction.

We’re going to start off with four videos (we’ll publish them over the next four days) from Gardner Campbell’s workshop “Speaker, Listener, Network: The Concept of Audience in a Web 2.0 World.”

What I love about this particular workshop is the generous balance in Gardner’s approach to Web 2.0: he talks with equal interest about the inanity present in much online conversation and the new implications for connectedness offered by the Web 2.0 world. Unlike many thinkers who’ve chimed in on communication in a Web 2.0 world, he sees it as neither a panacea or a harbinger of doom. His interest is in exploring the broad, rich ideas generated by these new methods of communication, and in generating more questions than answers.

We were so fortunate to have Gardner play such a significant role in our Symposium for the second straight year. His enthusiasm was infectious, and his social note taking was prodigious.

In this first segment, Gardner and the attendees of his workshop explore Twistori and Twittervision, two Twitter apps that offer provocative examples of how “connectedness” is changing in the Web 2.0 world. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to catch the beginning of this workshop; we pick things up a few minutes in, and this first video is a shade under 20 minutes long.

    Luke, I’m glad that you guys are getting these workshops up online. I was fortunate enough to have attended Gardner’s workshop in person, and I’m glad others can have the same good fortune, if more indirectly. Looking forward to catching some of the workshops I missed, as well.

    Pardon the plug, but did a little decompression on my “takeaways” (har har) from Gardner’s workshop on my blog, for anyone who is interested: http://teleogistic.net/2009/05/mashups-authorship-and-audience/

    Thanks, Boone, for your comment and your contributions on Friday. You were a great addition to the event. And you have free reign to plug away here any time you’d like.
