Our guest today is Bill Mathias Jr! A fellow Humans First Club member, a dad, a husband, a proliferator of thought, a superb collaborator, a seeker, and for work…he’s a Partnership Manager for Online Learning Consortium. Usually our topics spring from the individuals backstory of what they are passionately obsessed with. This one, is a bit different. March 12th, at 11am Eastern Standard Time, Bill and I (Teresa) connected 1 to 1 via zoom strictly for the purpose of getting to know each other outside our humans first Friday calls and LinkedIn post engagements. Within 30 minutes Bill shared a workplace model that he was working on. It struck me as interesting; sparked my curiosity; got me jazzed up at it’s possibilities. So I added an idea. And he responded with openness and added another idea. And what he added shook my creativity juices and I added another and soon the pace got FAST and the ideas FURIOUS. 1+1 didn’t equal 2. We were at 1000! Collaboration. What is it? How is it done? Who does it well and why? What are the barriers in it’s way? How can anyone who is in an environment where collaboration is part of the way work is completed, be better? To get more of William (Bill) Mathias Jr. ... LinkedIn!

As coronavirus-related school closures continue to effect education systems around the world, an increasing amount of educators are doing their best to keep their courses going online. In this effort, teachers have coalesced on Twitter around the hashtag #instructionalcontinuity.

And what’s the best way of going about boosting interpersonal interaction in an online class?
