Getting Started

 * I suggest that you review the Preparation for the Week of 7-9-2012 by clicking on this link or clicking on the menu pick to the right
 * Take notes, I will ask you to do a lot of reflecting this week and taking notes on your initial impressions of new materials and activities can be useful.
 * Ask questions! Many of the ideas I will be presenting may run contrary to popular notions about teaching and learning. Write your questions down.
 * Get philosophical! What are your beliefs about teaching and learning? Where do those beliefs come from? How are your beliefs connected to your practices? We will be exploring these questions so come prepared to think about them!
 * Have fun! Learning is hard work and when we do it well, it is fun, engaging and takes place in a social setting, this week is also about having some fun together.
