Session Description
Much of a student’s life today is spent online in a virtual world, blogging, IMing, Second Life, Facebook, etc. The Call for the Corporeal is designed to bridge the gap between a student’s virtual world and real world experiences. This session addresses how to provide guidance and education to argue that technology is not a black hole, that the virtual can become real. Further, this session discusses how to demonstrate the value of individuals’ online creations in a new and formerly intangible context.
