ED 326: Blog and Reflection Questions

These are questions used for both group and individual activities
Below are all of the questions that I will ask regarding the readings, projects, assignments, and
discussions during both weeks. For each discussion, I will select one or several questions in
class, and you will then respond only to those questions. In other words, each day you need to
wait and see what questions I will select.

I will use the questions below both as prompts for your blog posts as well as for in-class
discussion.
