Next, we moved into our discussion format today which is similar to the quiet discussion format in that it involves writing and replying to responses. Today's discussion however is made more dynamic by taking it online where people can post their ideas, reply to others, have others reply to them and then respond to those replies (wild!).
This discussion format also enables people to answer and revisit discussions in any order (with the quiet discussion we moved through the questions in a steady, clockwise manner).
In class, we reviewed the discussion format (see below), online etiquette, and came up with forum "handles" (nicknames) for people since we are going to avoid using our real names online.

Everyone had the rest of the period to participate in the online discussion.
Individuals who had not finished reading the story and responded to the discussion preparation questions, had this time to finish reading the story. We did not have time for everyone in the online forum to respond to all of the posted questions so we will continue this work for about 20 minutes tomorrow. Those people that did not participate in the discussion today and have finished the story for tomorrow will be able to participate and receive credit for participation in the discussion.
