222 – Room 222

It’s book discussion week on the WELSTech Podcast as we examine the adapted definition of “community”.

The discussion:

How do you define community? – Martin and Sallie trip down memory lane to the days of Room 222 as they discuss chapter 5 of Jesse Rice’s book, The Church of Facebook, and the sometimes generational differences in the definition of community.
