=Welcome to the ED100 Contemporary Issues in Education Wiki! REVISED =

Below are instructions for how to respond to TWO TOPICS:

For each topic, make at least 3 comments. Reread the entire Wiki (both discussions) one time before class on 11/29 (try to wait until it begins to get filled up). You'll use the ideas hashed out online to help you with a task at our next class.

1. Please take the time to read the assigned articles and powerpoints from my last email. Then consider the following question (or any other that piques your curiosity) as you prepare to comment on the Wiki:

** Topic 1 **
Consider all you've explored thus far on learning about the self. What is the significance of exploring culture, race, gender, and other personal traits as a regular part of the classroom experience? As a school or district priority? How might these commitments look in terms of space, time, curriculum, and teacher training? Comment upon the Nieto powerpoints and article, other readings from Weeks 5 & 6 on understanding the self, our study of temperament, and upholding an Attentive and Aware attitudes on this discussion link for __THIS Home page.__

Click on "topic 2" at the left to read the question & post to the discussion.
I hope you'll take this professional leap with me toward conducting a discussion in cyberspace before meeting in a class. If you have one, bring a laptop to class on the 29th. We'll use the notes of these Wiki discussions to guide our work.

If all else fails and you struggle getting your notes on line, just bring them to class.

Thanks for taking a risk and trying out this new way of communication,

Rachel Theodorou
