Welcome to the 1st Week of Digital Discussion!

Dear EDUC 240 students,

Welcome to Discussion Forum! We have been talking about this forum for quite a while now and finally you have landed on it the very first time today. Please try to get use to it ASAP, as all of you will be required to visit this forum every week till the end of Fall 2013, unless told otherwise. You have already been informed about your individual tasks, both verbally (in class) and electronically (via web). If you need any further clarifications, please do not hesitate in either contacting me or referring back to course site.

Some of you have expressed to me your doubts/concerns, most importantly your anxiety, regarding this whole digital discussion phenomenon. Please know that I understand your position real well. For most of you, this is probably the first time you have been asked to do a task like this for an academic fulfillment of a course. I guess your unease is natural. But really if you have an acute look, it is not that big of a deal. All I am asking you with this activity is to utilize your FACEBOOK aura for an academic issue-oriented discussion. Post – Comment, Post -Comment, Post -Comment…. This is the entire drift you have been asked to follow in this activity. Quite FACEBOOK like! Right?

Remember, your post/response, is like a recipe. In order to make it more and more scrumptious, you will have to add a calculated mix of following ingredients: objectivity, preciseness & rationality.

Wish you the Best!
