Reading Responses

One of your weekly assignments will be to post responses / reflections on the readings that you are doing.  These responses should focus around the three themes of the course: Community, Identity, and Design.  Not all readings will address all themes, so it is not a question of commenting on each theme with each reading.  The idea is for you to start to build up a strong theoretical foundation for the way technology should be used in teaching and learning and the implications of various technologies.  You will also be asked to respond to the responses / reflections of your classmates.  Here are the deadlines and details:

• Monday (by 5 pm) - Post your reflection to your blog, it will automagically be posted to our course Pligg site.
• Tuesday (by 5 pm) - Read reflections of your classmates, pick three (3) that you think are interesting / provocative / need more discussion, vote for these three reflections and write a response about why this reflection earned your vote.

Each week one group will be responsible for harvesting the top vote getters and facilitating a discussion about them in Thursday's class.
