For Project #1: Integrating Curricula From Regions of Conflict, I don’t thing we’ve posted mutch on the class blog. Helen has started a Google group for us where we’ve been communicating about how to go about the project. We also met online last week in Second Life and Henry posted our minutes in our Google Group. As a result of the meeting we collected questions through our Google Group to ask Frank and Salman. Josephine was able to answer some of our questions and the rest I asked Frank and Salman via a Seesmic video.
Josephine contributed that our project is:
- completely created in Ning
- for high school students
- going to have text provided by Global Potential
- going to be structured as a self-paced lesson plan
The questions that remained for Frank and Salman:
- Are we to use the Global Potential Ning network? If not, what should we name the network?
- Are the Dominican Republic and Haiti just an example of conflictd regions or are we to focus on these regions specifically?
- Should we go about obtaining contacts from the Dominican Republic and Haiti? If so, how should we do this?
- How are we to obtain the text to be used in the Ning network? What would be a good source for supplemental materials?
- If this is to be a structured, self-paced lesson plan, what topics would you like us to cover and in what order?
- Should we post the information for each topic in a forum where students have an opportunity to respond and discuss or is there another way we should structure this?
- What types of rich media would you like us to include?
