I added my list of additional sources to the class Drop Box. I tried highlighting and making comments but it kept asking me to tag individual people/ e-mail addresses instead of all the members who can edit and view the folder. In the future, once we are all more comfortable with WordPress, maybe using that would be better if we want to write comments on the texts as a class.

I was thinking about this over the weekend and wondered if we could incorporate both OER and canonical texts in these presentations… What if the second presentation we each do is on an OER we want to incorporate in a course syllabus, and instead of just presenting it, we design a brief assignment or activity for the source to see how it could work in a classroom setting? Those of us who are not presenting can try posing questions we may have had before we were familiar with the material, or still may have today. This way we can also play with the method of communication in addition to the content. How do others feel about this possibility?

Matt, I really love the disability statement in your syllabus. I haven’t seen that wording thus far in the GC, or at any of my schools. It’s usually something like… “it is your responsibility as the student to advocate for yourself etc.”
