Many of us are experiencing distance in unexpected ways. In this moment, we find it helpful to consider the how digital inclusion, digital inquiry, and digital imagination can serve to span distance and dispell isolation. We hope by evoking our natural world and by alluding to human gatherings in nature that we might see how digital pedagogy encourages playful exploration and the forming of strong, lasting bonds among communities of learners. Pack your gear, let's hit the trails and streams and set our sights on possible horizons together!
