Hi Matt, Hi Matthew,
I hope you had a great Labor(-free) Day weekend and took some time off! (I know I did which is why this email is a few days behind what I planned. Thanks for your patience.) J
Previous classes have told me they appreciate weekly reminders of upcoming assignments. This email contains important information as we look forward to CEP 956 Week 2 online (Sept 2-8). Thank you for reading this email carefully. Note the assignments for this coming week, which we went over last Wednesday.

2) Then, go to that week’s schedule page and find the Base Group Check-in (or Check-out) question for the week (e.g., W2 Sept 2-8 Online from the drop-down menu)

READINGS & ONLINE DISCUSSION
“Will Media Ever Influence Learning: A Heated Debate”
Our course begins with the seminal debate on whether or not media will ever influence learning. Please read the 3 readings listed on the schedule page for Week 2: Sept 2-8.
UPCOMING ASSIGNMENTS
- Post your initial responses to the 2 guided reading questions in the Discussion Forum http://greenhow.educ.msu.edu/cep956fs19/forum/ by Thursday, Sept. 5 at midnight
- Post your response to each other’s initial posts AND at least one response to someone else’s response to your initial post (per question) by Saturday, Sept. 7 at midnight. In other words, for each question you are posting one response to your peer and replying to at least one response on your own work = 2 more posts per question, minimum.
- The goal of the online forum is to give you time to engage deeply with the readings & generate sparks for in-class discussion.
