Readings

=Readings= We will come together to discuss common readings each day. Common readings are indicated with a * and are listed for the date when they will be discussed. Everybody must read these before class and come to class prepared to discuss them.

As you read these pieces, you should ask yourself:
 * 1) What is the main contribution, finding, take-away message from this article?
 * 2) What elements of this article seem opaque? Is there something I don't really understand?
 * 3) How does this article challenge me to think differently about my teaching and/or technology integration practices?
 * 4) How can I use this article in my own classroom/professional context?

Periodically, we will also ask you to read an extra reading from a list of supplementary readings on a given topic. We may also ask that you find a reading and add it to the readings list but -- and this is important -- you are ALWAYS welcome to add resources to our readings list. Please, please, take time to surf the web, search for readings and/or multimedia resources that are connected in some meaningful way to the topic we're discussing.

After you've read your article(s) we ask that you post at least one "hoot" in our "hootcourse" about it/them. In this way, we'll have a running transcript of your thoughts as you engage with the material.

Be prepared to tell your colleagues: 1) The report's focus and key questions. 2) The key findings from the report. 3) Why this report might be important for teachers/educators in general and, even more specifically, how it could inform your professional practice. 4) At least one question that the report didn't answer for you.
