Everyone, I want to try an experiment that I believe will enhance our weekly reading presentations.
This Friday we will have group 1 presenting on Windows. Groups 2, 3, and 4 should do the following: Before you read the chapter, develop 2 questions each (individually) that you hope are answered in the reading. Share you questions with your group, discussing which questions seem most important to help us understand the topic. Post the top 4 questions from your group in a new post on OpenLab.
Please note that no groups should repeat the same question as another group (I will review the questions in the order they are submitted.) If you see the same question in another group’s post, revise your question to dig deeper into the concept or ask a different question..
Make sure your group posts before class on Friday (one post per group.) Be sure to identify your group in the post title, and use the Student Work and Discussions categories for your post.
Please comment/reply to this post if your group has any questions about this activity.
