Synchronous Engagement
Brief Introductions:
Each of us will provide our own background and context for participating in this workshop.
Discussion:
As it is the first day of this workshop, we will take the time to set ground rules for discussion and think through the topics that we'll be covering over the next 10 days.
Asynchronous Engagement
Reflective Journal:
Throughout the next two weeks (and beyond), we encourage you to keep a journal that can serve as a place for you to gather your thoughts and ideas (what have you learned? what resources have been helpful? what are the challenges and opportunities in your discipline, specifically? what do you want to remember to think about in two months when you're finalizing your syllabus?, etc.). This journal is a private, reflective writing space, and will not be shared with others (unless you wish to do so). You can use Google Docs, Microsoft Word, a notebook and pen, or whatever suits you best.
Discussion Boards:
This workshop has a dedicated Moodle site for us to continue our discussions asynchronously. This site will be helpful for resource-sharing across the three sections, and for developing conversations further.
