How (and why) elected and appointed officials are using digital technologies to communicate with the electorate. What about the digital divide and other marginalized populations?
Given that I don’t think we’ll be together more than a couple of hours, I’m delaying the start to 7 pm. Fingers crossed that they will be home by then. Whether or not, we will start then.
In that intervening hour, why don’t you take the time to read one another’s recent posts and comment … practice a little asynchronous communication. :-)
Agenda
- Lecture : Kathy (slideshare)
- Discussion leaders : Betsy and Shane
- Reading posts: Dan, Gary
- Exercise : contact legislator/city councilman/governor (more than one – use different methods – let’s track response : faxzero.com)
