#BIT15Reads: Building a Participatory Learning Community of Professional Readers
Abstract
The aim of any book club is to build a community of readers but what if those readers, who were all involved in education and technology, could only meet once per year? Thus began a social experiment to build an online book club of professionals involved in technology’s role in education. The goal of this book club is to build and sustain a community of readers interested in technology’s role in education.
