Inventing The Future: Safely Empowering Learners in the Read/Write Society

As Dr. Lawrence Lessig has observed, we live in the era of a "new read-only" and a "new read-write" culture. This environment is full of rapid, discontinuous and disruptive change, but the opportunities for empowering people to constructively communicate and share their voices appropriately with the world is unprecedented. We'll explore how learners of all ages across the world are utilizing media and communication technologies to literally reinvent the future.

Shorter version:
