ELT 651 Schedule of Class Meetings
Class Meetings and Weekly Learning Circle Meetings on Tuesdays
(see Sakai calendar for times and dates.)
We generally meet as a class on first and last Tuesday of the semester This time our first meeting is happening the last week of Aug. You will be meeting in learning circles on a weekly basis on Tuesday and continuously in Sakai forums. Bill or I will join about 5 of your weekly meetings. Once you have a time for your group, we will post your meetings on the Sakai class calendar. Bill and I will indicate which days we are meeting with which group.
First Meeting (Aug 28- 5 or 8pm) - Eluminate
We will use this session to wrap up the August class and transition to the new semester. It will be a time for you to bring your general issues and concerns.
Weekly Learning Circles Meetings
When you meet with Bill or me, we will mostly be there to comment on your progress and provide another "critical friend" for your progress. we expect you will be using these learning circles to work out your ideas based on the readings and collective experiences of the cadre. You will have a new learning circle for this session and your first task is to set a meeting time. We will start with the assumption that thecircle will take the 6 or 9 slot.
LAST Class meeting during the final week of class (5pm & 8pm)
It is a good practice for you to take collective notes from from your meetings as others might want to read what you are doing. You have lots of tools for keeping track of your interaction but etherpad (synch.in or google docs seem to work well.)
