 * Topics**
 * Sharing - What is your progress? What new resources have you discovered? What are your ideas? What questions do you have? - Feel free to link to your work (other wiki pages) from this page.
 * Work time, peer collaboration, consultations.


 * Assignments**
 * Post your //**first draft**// on your wiki page no later than this evening. Remember...it's a first draft.
 * Between Wednesday and Sunday evening, please visit and read the essays of your classmates. Using Diigo and the discussion tab on the wiki page, provide substantial critical feedback to your classmates. Here are some questions you should consider when offering your critique.
 * Does the argument involve a digital alternative?
 * Does the work contribute new ideas to the discussion?
 * Is the approach to the topic effective? How might it be enhanced?
 * Does the work contain personal stories to bring the theoretical to life?
 * Does the multimedia enhance the argument? How?
 * Will the reader be influenced by the argument? Does the alternative appear both doable and worth the effort?
 * Does it use APA...don't forget the space after the period when citing pages. Thank you. Just kidding...
 * Did the writer connect with others outside the class?
 * Is it clear and concise enough that busy educators will read it and want to learn more?
 * What information was //gathered// for the article? Was it //assessed for its value// in the argument and synthesized effectively to //create// something new and original?
 * Does the essay reference other literature (including class texts, online documents and media)?
 * Return often to engage with the comments of your classmates. In other words, start a discussion around them. We will pick up with the discussion during our July 26 class.
