Earlier today, connectedlearning.tv hosted a live webinar with librarian Buffy Hamilton, aka “The Unquiet Librarian,” on the topic: How do libraries cultivate participatory literacy to disrupt what Paulo Freire calls the “banking” system of education?

For this webinar series, anyone can be a part of the conversation via Livestream (http://livestream.com/connectedlearningtv) and Twitter (#connectedlearning), pose questions in real-time to the guest speaker, and connect with others in the emerging connected learning community.

The webinar’s page on connectedlearning.tv now has a video recording as well as a growing list of the questions asked and resources mentioned.
