The Discussion Groups
Below are the six groups for the evening with assigned facilitators
next to randomly selected names. Discussions will be held in the rooms
indicated. Facilitators will need to make sure there are taskmaster/timekeepers
and recorder/posters for the groups.
These discussions require a bit more preparation than usual.
Many of you will be quite familiar with the ISTE material and will be
able to skim the book or website.
The Phorum postings should be read carefully as they represent
some insightful and practical thinking on the part of your colleagues.
