Reflections

April 22, 2010

Yesterday we shared posters in the library and learned a lot about the world. You have a choice. you can:

1) record your feelings about the presentations and e-mail them to the class instructor so they can hear your thoughts. 2-3 minutes would be enough.

2) use your webcam and video yourself doing the same as above.

3) if schedules work out, invite a class of your choice here, and tell them what we learned as a group.

Today please post:

How did you feel about yestardays sharing session? What did you like/dislike about the day? How can experiences like these help you develop as a person?
The world is small, with some large issues

From the start of class until April 20, three weeks away, we will be working in Unit 1 developing knowledge on global issues. For the first week we will look at and discuss some of the issues in the world today, and decide if what we think is true. We will need at ask a lot of questions.

Each student will select a nation (your choice) from one of 8 regions - but let's try to select nations from one region. We will do this since other classes will be looking into other regions, and we will come together on April 21 to share our findings in the library meeting room via a poster presntation.

Assignment Due: Class Presentation 1

This is our first class presentation, and is really an informal friendly review of what you have been studying in your communications class, and what connections you have been making about the nation you decided to study. Let's enjoy as this is a good review for tomorrow when we will have a friendly share, poster session, in the library with other classes.

Collective Reflections 1 You have been looking into a nation and their issues, and how they relate to both a) your studies, and 2) the world. Let's go share with other communications classes what we have been learning, and learn what they have been discovering about their nations.
For today, please log in to blogger.com and post (write a response to):
1) tell us one thing interesting about you.
2) what are some questions you had after todays class about the unit?
3) what is something you wonder about a global issue?
4) What will you try to find before the next class so we can discuss your findings together?
5) ask a classmate a question about their post (the first to post does not need to do this).
