Homework for Thursday, 1/14

Your tasks for Thursday:

1) Please take the Student Survey at left (under Course Documents Online).  We rely on this information to help improve our classes.

2) Bookmark the course weblog address.  You will access it frequently.

3) Watch this video from Ted.com featuring author and educator Sir Ken Robinson.  If you can push through the too trite moments and asides, the ideas and insights are powerful.  Come to class ready to discuss his ideas and your reactions.




If you only have time for an abbreviated treatment, watch the one below from Ted in Half, but BE WARNED: The distilled version of Robinson's ideas are potent.  Just because it'll take half the time to watch does not mean it will only occupy half your attention.  It may in fact demand more.




4) If you volunteered or were chosen to lead Thursday's discussion, be ready.  If you didn't, you're done!
