The purpose of the first day of classes will be to take a good look at our existing practice. We need to identify 'transparent technologies' in the classroom and make a distinction between these and the helper technologies that we will be employing to keep track of information and work throughout our course. Goal is to get students to set objectives for themselves.

Introduction

1. Introduction to the general concepts of 'educational technology and the adult learner.'
2. Personal Learning Plan and the community rubric. (this didn't get finished... off to day 2)
3. Personal reflective responses.

Activity - Tagging ourselves - digital edition

Outputs - First draft of personal learning plan, groups selected, tagging explored, first reflection written.

Didactic pieces by dave. (time dependent)

Structure - All collaborative work comes down to whether the 'structure' is working. Fantastic work by students and instructors can easily be lost by not taking 30 seconds to consider where your work fits into the whole.
