- Why do you want to learn to webcast?
Thank you all for making this possible, I'm both excited and fearful of getting involved. Excited to bring the 21st century into my classroom and fearful that this could become adictive.

- Show Details
The Popcorn Conversation is an opportunity for experts, teachers and students to come together as partners to learn from each other and to construct an understanding of the human-built world. In this rapidly changing universe of scientific discovery, technological development and information processing, it is increasingly more difficult to know how to prepare today’s youth for the future they will inherit. The future we cannot adequately imagine nor predict.
Initially, Popcorn Conversation will be an adjunct to my 8th grade design technology class that I teach at the Baccalaureate School for Global Education, a public school in New York City that prepares all students to be cadidates for the IB Dipoloma.
The overarching theme for my class is understanding urban infrastructures and designing future cities. That theme will help inform the choice of experts and help start the topics of conversations. The experts will come from the fields of uban planning, design, engineering, science and technology.
