One more Digital Pedagogy Lab Institute is coming up! We are excited to be Virtually Connecting at Digital Pedagogy Lab PEI (Prince Edward Island, Canada) – the event is organized by Bonnie Stewart of the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), social media researcher and Virtually Connecting advisory buddy (event announcement on UPEI website here). The event takes place July 13-15 on the Atlantic timezone (ADT), and will consist of two tracks:
- Networks (led by Dave Cormier of UPEI, famous for his rhizomatic learning MOOCs and Jesse Stommel, co-director of Digital Pedagogy Lab and Executive Director of the University of Mary-Washington Division of Teaching and Learning Technology).
- Digital literacies (led by Bonnie Stewart of UPEI, famous for her research on scholarly influence on social media and Sean Michael Morris, co-director of Digital Pedagogy Lab and instructional designer at Middlebury College).
In addition to the tracks taking place over three days, the event includes the following:
- Keynote by ed tech author and critic Audrey Watters,
- Workshop on Social Network Analysis by Daniel Lynds
- Workshop on Open Education & OER by Robin DeRosa
- Workhop on Digital Capabilities and Leadership by Lawrie Phipps

Oh, wow – I didn’t realize there was virtual connect opportunity! I’ve just been feeling sorry for myself, not able get to PEI. ? I’d love to hear more.
I’m interested to listen in virtually on the keynote and “Digital Capabilities and Leadership” sessions.
I am interested in the sessions.I don’t have a handle on what some of them are about but I am a teacher and want to develop in the tech area.
I am surely interested, and have responded to a tweet by Maha.Bali, to a VC.
Thank you.
