Welcome everyone.
Aside from using this blog to collectively plan sessions for the un-conference. Please feel free to share resources of mutual interest.
For those who missed the announcement earlier in the week, the Center for American Progress just released a report that I think will be of interest to most of you – New Tools for Old Traumas: Using 21st Century Technologies to Combat Human Rights Atrocities.
I also thought folks might find grist for the mill in our recent Voices on Antisemitism interview with social media expert, danah boyd.
As for my proposal, there are two topics of particular interest to me right now:
1. Mobile technology as a tool for constituent engagement and a driver for user behavior/action.
2. Serious gaming and games as social media for change.
Let me know if you’d be interested in working on a session together!
