“How might we be creative together when we are far apart and in different cultural contexts?”

I’m trying to figure out how I can focus my day-to-day life on: 1) exploring this question, and 2) creating practical stuff people can use to vastly improve the quality and depth of their international collaborations.

I need to get going and get ideas out of my head.

Carissa Carter challenged me to create seven posts in seven days. To up the ante, Carissa also told me to go multi-modal. Some posts are written blog posts, some are podcast-like audio, and some are video.

So here goes. Here’s post #1 with a quick video overview:

Post #2: When everyone doesn’t think in English

Post #3: Getting closer at a distance

Post #4: In the Blink of a (video call) Eye

Post #5: International partnership thoughts, Part 1: learning, (in)dependence, and us

Post #6: International partnership thoughts, Part 2: people, not institutions?

Post #7: “Imperfect technology” or “fundamental?” One example.
