For each of us that has taken a Harvard Macy course, our time in that egg-shaped incubator of a room in Boston was truly special. We want to continue our interactions, draw inspiration from and continue to contribute back to our Harvard Macy community. Given the importance of social interaction in all Harvard Macy courses, Twitter has become our tool of choice for #HMIchat. Twitter enables both synchronous dialogue and ongoing asynchronous discussion. Please join us on Twitter—together we can maintain our nurturing community of practice!
