The document discusses how a class of 75 students in Los Angeles was able to have a video conference call with Dr. Nigel Spivey in Cambridge, England to ask him questions about his career in art history without leaving their classroom. It describes how the students developed potential questions to ask Dr. Spivey by watching films about art at a lunchtime film festival and discussing questions on social media. It concludes by saying that social media and mobile technology allowed the virtual meeting between the students and Dr. Spivey to take place.

12. Their Questions Develop… “ This is a partial list of questions in the works that we all have so far: 1) What compelled you to study art history? 2) What would say would be the most important thing you have learned through studying art history? 3) Personally, what is your favorite type of art from a culture group or single person; whether is be ancient or contemporary? 4) Were you ever interested in creating art yourself? 5) When you were growing up, did you want to be an art historian? 6)What more do you think art historians can do for the world, besides teach future art historians? 7)How did you get into the study of art history? 8) What events led you the realization that it was your calling? 9)While studying art abroad, what is the most interesting thing you have experienced? 10) How do you research for your revolutionary ideas and discoveries on art history? 11) How does traveling to actual sites change your view on art history, rather than just looking at images in a book?” They Self Edit! “ #s 5, 7, and 8 seem a little redundant and can probably be combined into one or two questions. This is a combo of a bunch of people's questions. What do you think/How should we edit them? What more can be asked? Also, how many questions can we have? We don’t want to take too much of O' Great Nigel's time.”
