Phorum Assignments

July 22, 2001

On second thought ...

In continuing our reading of Democracy and Education, this week we will read and consider what Dewey has to say about thinking. 

The reading assignment: Chapters 11 and 12 of Democracy and Education should take you 60 - 90 minutes to complete.

On the Phorum, respond to one of the options below by Wednesday.

Option 1:  Consider two questions that you have about the reading for this week. Post those questions to the Phorum using the link below.  Word your questions in such a way as they may be used to further discussion about the importance of "Experience and Thinking" or about "Thinking in Education".  Give your post a compelling title.

Phorum thread for "Dewey Deliberations".

Option 2:  In the final paragraph of "Thinking in Education", Dewey summarizes thinking as the method of an educational experience.  Compare what Dewey has to say about this method to Bernie Dodge's WebQuest strategy.

By Friday, respond to at least one posting from either option.
