decisions

Hi Team,

I really liked how Wil made the links for the first outline. We need some decisions now.



Do we work from the outline on the Wiki or use the revised outline? I heard back from 3 or 4 people saying they liked the new outline.




If we choose the new outline, here is a suggestion for dividing up the revised outline (based somewhat on the old dividing up), if the revised outline is OK with everyone. If you have different suggestions for either the outline or dividing up, please let us know these. I’m OK with whatever. If we change, Wil, could you please add in your global v national info and also change the links??

Here are the three questions we are to address:



Every project should address three questions in relation to your theme:

1. What are the wider social and cultural changes that are entailed by this trend? In other words, these trends don’t emerge in a vacuum, and they often reflect other social and cultural changes as well. What are some of the major contextual factors giving rise to this trend?

2. How are new digital technologies, and their uses, affecting and affected by this trend?

3. What are the educational opportunities and challenges arising from these developments?
