Knowledge, Learning, Community

As usual, we could replace the term 'journalism' with 'education' and arrive at pretty much the same conclusion. "Twitch is a major player among live video platforms with 1.6 billion hours of content produced monthly, much of it by users age 25-34. That content is mostly livestreamed gameplay, but the app is an increasingly common distributor of news and information." Here's a livestream we did just last week (I livestream using YouTube instead of Twitch). Here's a playlist of 65 videos where I livestream my own experiences learning new software. More and more, I think, we'll just livestream learning experiences directly, and more and more, they won't be in the classroom. (p.s. I often livestream my gaming sessions as well).
