Paul Signorelli and Stephen Hurley gather to continue their conversation on learning as an act of co-conspiracy. Today, inspired by a graphic by @woodard_julie entitled, "How to Light Up A Learning Environment", Paul and Stephen discuss the dynamics of community, curiosity, cultural sensitivity and critical thinking.
Paul Signorelli and Stephen Hurley grab a coffee together and talk about the idea of learners as co-conspirators in the process. What assumptions does that idea push back against, and what could it mean for how we imagine learning at all levels in a post-pandemic world.
Paul Signorelli has been reading the book, "Winning Elections and Influencing Politicians for Library Funding by Patrick “PC” Sweeney and John Chrastka and it's inspiring him to think differently about learning experiences, environments and relationships.
That was the jumping off point for this episode, book-ended by some wonderful singing!
Today's conversation begins with a reflection on the importance of family-based storytelling and moves to an interesting article by Justin Reich, "The Paradox of Pandemic Education: We Changed Everything to Be Mostly the Same. Can Connected Learning Offer a New Way Forward?"

Paul Signorelli is a writer, a trainer and a consultant. He also knows what makes for a good gathering. We continue our conversation on The Art of Gathering by looking at the elements for a high quality virtual gathering.
Paul SIgnorelli is a facilitator, an author and an all around interesting guy! In today's conversation, we start to unpack some of the ideas found in Priya Parkers, "The Art of Gathering" and, in particular, the idea that a gathering begins the moment you send out the invitation. What does that mean and what impact could it have on the way we plan our virtual and face-to-face events?

Paul Signorelli is the quintessential "life-long" learner. He believes strongly in the power of community to enable that mindset to take root in his life and the lives of others. In this conversation we talk about an influential teacher, a couple of framing questions for a possible "Royal Commission on Learning" and a ShapingEDU WInterfest2021, a powerful virtual conference that he recently experienced.
We use the Winterfest experience to dig more deeply into the work of ShapingEDU——the community and the work.
