Also, for those who do not complete the form by it due date (September 13th, 2010), a penalty of significant size will be imposed to your overall course grade for the semester - please be sure to fill out the form.

Part Two - Day Two & Day Three Lecture Attendance

Attend lecture on the second and thrid day of classes (Wednesday, September 1st & Friday, September 3rd).

Part Three - In-Lecture Activity

When you arrive in lecture on Wednesday, you will be given more information about the activity. However, as stated in class on Monday, the activity will involve you working in small groups on a problem involving technology and education/educational practices. You will each receive a worksheet on Wednesday with further details of the work you will be doing with your group. Group participation will be over at the end of lecture Wednesday, but the wrap-up for the activity will most likely continue into Friday's class. There is an individual component to the assignment that you will need to start in between class on Wednesday and Friday and finish in lecture on Friday.
