Roundtable: Social Learning and Reflective Dialogue

Reflective dialogue is a powerful vehicle to critical thinking and deep understanding.  So often now, much of what is called "dialogue" is not.  It is simply sharing with, or shouting at,others in our increasingly polarized society.  Civil discourse online is even harder:  the physical distance, the anonymity, and other factors feed into a communication culture of multiple monologue, not dialogue.
