Homework: Please complete your MTP planning and implement your techTool with/for your intended audience. Are you creating a classroom blog? Great! Get the first two weeks of materials posted, and create a how-to document for your students. Are you using Jing for a geography project? Lovely! Prepare a final draft of the assignment, and vet it with a trusted colleague. Are you researching the effect of social-networking sites (Facebook, MySpace) on academic writing? Good on you! Collect and organize your online sources using Delicious. You get the picture. We'll contact you early in the semester to continue planning your MTP-dissemination planning: coaching, outlining, etc.
