= Welcome to week 7!!! =

Activity & Discussion Post:
Select which group you want to be in (see chart below) based on your webinar preference. View the webinar for your group by clicking on the webinar link. As you are listening, take notes on your key learning. When you are done listening to the webinar, write a one-page reflection that addresses: 1) Brief summary (one paragraph) on what was presented; 2) Your key learning (1-2 paragraphs); and 3) a reflection on what you learned and steps you might take to apply this learning in your classroom (1-2 paragraphs). Post this on the discussion board (copy and paste text from your word document to the post box on the discussion board).

**__Bring your key learning notes with you to class on October 11__**. In class, you will work with your group members (using your key learning notes) to come up with a presentation of your group's webinar. Your presentation should express the important information presented in the webinar in a clear and concise way (graph, chart, diagram, map, flow chart, or some other visual and easy to read format etc..). You can use Power Point (if you have a computer or you may be able to work on it in the lab) or chart paper. Your group will have about 20 minutes to prepare your presentation. The presentations should only be about 5 minutes long.

Tip: Think about ideas for your group's presentation (how you will present/share your group's webinar) prior to class. Coming with some ideas you can present to your group members will make it easier for you to decide on a concept for your presentation and to complete the presentation within the 20 minute time frame.
