You are in the home stretch now! Your research project synthesis will be turned in this week.  This is our final week of new readings.  Your final reaction paper is due in 2 weeks. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel!  Congratulations.  I have had a great time this semester with this group.  Your posts and replies are very thoughtful and insightful.  I think I have benefited from reading them just as much as anyone else in the course.  It has been a win-win situation for me.   

You should receive your grade for your article analyses today or tomorrow as I finish grading them.  If you have extra time feel free to work ahead on your final reaction paper and send it to me. 

Your major responsibilities are to complete the new discussions this week from our guest chefs and to work on your synthesis submission due this week.

Just as we had last week - we have a great group of open mic performances from your fellow cafe regulars.

This week we will be looking at the future of instructional design and technology.  Have a good week!
