Blogs are up!
OK, so your classmates' blogs are linked on the class blog. Visit them, read, and comment on posts when you feel inspired to think. Again, please don't do anyone the disservice of encouraging them when they really aren't saying anything of substance or interest. That, in the end, will only hurt kids (future students). You owe it to your classmates to engage them when and IF they are engaging. Your comments should relate specifically to the ideas discussed and issues raised in the post. Pose questions. Let your fellow bloggers know what thoughts resonate with you and which ones don't. Let your fellow bloggers know when their thinking is on point, and likewise, let them know when their line of thinking seems weak or half-baked. Engage your fellow bloggers in intellectual discussion. This will hopefully help your classmates to dig deeper into the issues surrounding their topic.

Ted Talk-
ReplyDeleteI have decided to do my TED talk on the importance of research. Now a days, students are using the internet to find out answers to questions. The problem is the internet is not a reliable source. The issue is an important one since the new generation of students uses the internet more than any other generation to date. In my talk I will attempt to show how important it is to research a topic using reliable sources and what these source are.
