This week’s Forum features Jim Groom and radical digital learning

Jim GroomThis Thursday on the Forum we have the one and only… Jim Groom.

If you don’t know Jim, he’s one of the first and longest-running edubloggers, having written at Bavatuesdays for more than a decade.  There you can find his thoughts on the intersection of education and technology, with a strong helping of culture high and low. At the University of Mary Washington Jim inspired the edupunk movement, and then invented and taught the famous digital storytelling counter-MOOC DS106.  He also kicked off the Domain of One’s Own movement.  And now he’s moved to Italy, where he helps run the innovative and excellent Reclaim Hosting company.  A brilliant man, a ferocious innovator, a generous collaborator, and a good friend.

I plan on asking him about the Domain of One’s Own idea and practice, which should lead to a discussion of Reclaim Hosting, and from that point on to what Audrey Watters (our first Forum guest) dubbed Indie Ed Tech (a summit happened last week).

So please join Jim and I, plus hundreds of participants, this Thursday at 2 pm EST.  Click here to RVSP, or click directly when the hour strikes.

If you haven’t experienced a Forum, here’s a good sampler of highlights so far:
