Climate Change and the Future of Humanity 
David Wallace-Wells 
Global warming is the existential challenge of our age. 

Educational content prepared and available on the web.  Maybe suited to some high school students. Probably suited to most college students. Surely suited to study by educators studying new methods of presenting educational material.  And possibly of value to educators teaching about climate change.

Why concerts in a virtual world?

• An audience assembled, texting to each other.
• And texting to performer.
• The audience can make requests.
• The performer can read the texts and join the conversation on the stream.
• More like a nightclub than a TV show.
• The audience doesn't just watch--it participates.
• The performer is part of the audience.

2021 BZ: Where will the digital generation have meetings? Business meetings? B2B? Conventions? Conferences? Will they travel to meetings if they like to work at home?

Where will the digital generation have meetings?    

Business meetings? B2B? 

Conventions?  Conferences?   

Will they travel to meetings if they like to work at home?

As people get used to working online, many will see the advantages of online meetings.

Virtual conference

The COVID lockdowns created a lot of new digital citizens.

• Some of them want to work on the internet.
• Many of these may prefer online meetings.
• No infection worries, no cost, no travel time, no hanky-panky. 
• Online meetings will thus cater to a different population. 
• The traditional presentations of F2F meetings can be live-streamed.
• Thus they can reach a larger audience that would not come to the F2F meeting.
• But such F2F meetings can have parallel online meetings.
• With online networking, online breakout rooms and online vendor rooms.

the road to marketing

We are marketing all the time.  If you want people to do something, you market that action to them. If you want them to pay money, it is called selling.  If you want the kids to clean up their rooms, it is called parenting.  If you want kids to learn something, it is called teaching.  Here is the kernel on how to.

Plan for organizing a blog in a digital "world". 
One person, publishing once a month, 
will get no following in years.  

But a collaborative blog...

Suggestions as to how and why a community or professionally-oriented class might want to develop a collaborative blog that reports on what they are doing.

• Twenty people, publishing once a month on related topics, can build a following.
• That is the potential of a collaborative blog/

Where would you get 20 people?

• In a community.  People in a community share common interests.
• In a professionally-oriented class. They all share professional interests. 

Why blog?

• The whys and hows of blogging.
• Publicize something.
• Build a portfolio.
• Build a reputation.
• Show off project results.
• Let students build portfolios.
• Promote events.

I knew right away I was in over my head.  This was a three-dimensional world inside the computer.  Or down the rabbit hole.  "What do I do next?", I asked myself.

Then I noticed a big, shaggy dog trotting towards me.  It wore a sign saying "Look for the chat window, lower left."  It stopped, sat up and wagged its tail."

Make learning in a virtual world usefully social.  

Practice collaboration.  

A DTA as guide on the side.  

Virtual worlds are inherently social.  Planning can make the social activity educationally valuable.

Team planning in a virtual world

Practice collaboration in school?

• How do they do that?
• PBL with teams.
• When are they old enough to work in teams?
• Ask a Little League coach.

How do you teach collaboration?

• Create a situation in which students have an incentive to collaborate.
• Start with a team and a project.
• One or two people will wind up doing most of the work?
• Only if you leave all the management to the team.
• Add a DTA as coach and use it to track individual effort.
