Starting about now, we will
engage in conversation about one
of the first questions that may come to our minds with the phrase
"Computers in Education": what is appropriate use of computers
in our schools. We will let Jane Healy facilitate the conversation
by reading her comments from the first three chapters of her book.
Remember the Healy is just getting us to think.
Her opening remarks will prompt critical thinking and don't necessarily
reflect her conclusions which come later in the book. So don't throw
the book out if you agree. Argue your points and wait for her conclusions
to come later.
Assignment for Week Four
Hopefully you have found a
copy of the text book "Failure to Connect"
by Jane Healy. Hopefully you have also
started to realize we can make it through this class without losing
all our hair.
Your assignment is simply read the first
three chapters. It's not hard reading. Go to Moodle
in Week Four (January 26-January 30) and write your thoughts about
what you read. Return to Moodle and this forum several times to read
your classmates' comments and add additional comments.
Try to write your first comments by February
9.
