5220: Computers in Educational Settings
COURSE SCHEDULE
Each week, I will post and link that week's guide
in the form of "session notes." These session notes will be
linked from the schedule here, as well as from the main course page. Do
not consider these as a week-by-week guideline for what you should be doing
(though doing so would not be inappropriate), but more of a
"checkpoint" to make sure you are on-track with your time in this
course. Several sections will span two or more weeks.

Groups should be prepared to do an
oral presentation of their mini-projects today. Given the number of
students in the course, it is unlikely we will be able to get through them all
today, so we will split the groups over the next two days.
Group presentations by those
groups who did not present yesterday. Also, course wrap-up, guiding
questions for moving forward, and some thoughts on "staying
connected."
