This workshop, for graduate students in the Philosophy Department at Penn State, focuses on using social media technologies to cultivate cooperative communities of learning in Philosophy courses. Its purpose is to transform our pedagogical practices in ways that empower students to take co-ownership of their own education.
Its main outcome of the workshop will be a co-authored field guide for teaching and learning philosophy with technology. In order to facilitate this, participating students are asked to send me their gmail addresses (and to sign up for a gmail account if they don’t already have one) so I can add them as co-editors to our shared google document.
Finally, students are encouraged to bring their laptops to the workshop if they have them.
Hello,

Hi All,
I’m not a student, but I am a participant, so here goes:
1. There are several fewer than six degrees of separation between me, the Brothers Grimm, and Martin Heidegger
2. I once translated the ‘Transcendental Deduction’ from the 1781 A edition of Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason” into first order predicate logic to determine whether or not the argument is valid
Looking forward to the workshop!

Hi all,
When I was younger, I was a member of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society).
When I was an undergraduate I took ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corp)classes.
See you all this afternoon.
