First Class Guest Speakers in your Class! - No Travel required!

I was teaching Organization Theory II in the doctoral program at Dowling College. I got an idea, to ask the students to interview leaders that possessed a doctoral degree and have applied their dissertation findings to their work and/or life. I have invited successful alumni to participate and be interviewed. The results are coming this weekend! I can see the effects already...Networking...mentoring...and learning...! I also asked them to read two books among other materials, one was "The Princessa, Machiavelli for Women" by Harriet Rubin, and the other was The Art of the War by Sun Tzu. Students needed to review the books in different organizational perspectives, such as decision making, communication, and so on. And it happens..what it usually happens when you are in a room with a 135 IQ plus (ok now they will argue that it is a more...or what about Emotional Intelligence, and then, question the validation of the IQ or IE within different cultures...Do you see what I mean? ha ha ha ).

 These future doctors, females and males, foreign and nationals, various ages, races, and ethnicity..enter into a DISAGREEMENT!, They all have different analysis of the book!...yep...the classroom was a war zone..  You can hear comments such as
"In my country,...." "Females are..." "I am a young person who belief..." We were all laughing and interpreting the books under our own perspective... Hey, humor is requirement in this class....
Someone asked, Dr. Morote, What exactly Harried Rubin was thinking when she said "Use your body as a weapon"...? ; Dr. Morote, when Sun Tzu talks about "terrain", is it like organization culture? well, that's it, I said. STOP. I cannot write to Sun Tzu (he passed away more than two thousand years ago) and ask him...but I can write, right now to Harriet Rubin...and she can respond for herself!
Amazingly, Ms. Rubin responded to our call, and we will be interviewing her this coming Sunday..Isn't that exciting? Since this is blog is about technology, now the question is, What is the best technology to communicate one - to many? She won't be able to travel in person...
update: Our guest speaker was in an area of no Internet, we chose to use  a speaker-phone devise
