Homework Assignments
(listed by due date) Due at the beginning of class on the date listed unless otherwise noted be prepared to tell us about you and your notebook Before class on Wednesday 3/7/07, blog about the panel presentation. What did you learn, what did you like, what was interesting, what did you wish was different about it,. . . just "blog." Write about it in such a way that it will fall nicely into one of the four sections of your EDU 101 notebook. If you think you learned something from the presentation that fits in more than one section of your notebook, you can write multiple blog entries or just print out the same entry and make as many copies as you need for how many sections you think it fits. Since you have to justify how it fits into that category, you can plan ahead and make this blog entry work to your benefit. But I must see something in your EDU 101 notebook about the panel and I want to see it in your blog as well. Be sure to write this using good grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
