Critial Theme Debate

Posted by Terry Godwaldt on 22 Feb 2011

Dear All,

I have summarized your online discussions into four critical themes. You'll notice that there was no specific reference to technology. That is because we assume that technology will be interwoven throughout. Please reference technology as you gather supporting evidence for each theme. At this point, there are three things we need from you:

Let us know if these themes are an accurate summary
Gather supporting evidence to help you lead the breakout sessions at your schools and post it on each themes discussion board
Get you ideas, even if they are random, online to keep the discussion going.

This is going to be awesome!!
