Welcome to EDUC 600!

Hello everyone and welcome to Teaching in a Democracy. This blog will be essential for our course. What will we be using it for?

1. You'll be posting links to the readings you find for your classmates. Here's the one for the Plato reading for January 20th: Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
2. You'll be posting advance organizers for your chosen discussion days. This will be key points and questions to consider. I'll be posting an example soon.
3. You'll be posting summaries of our class discussions. This will free up folks from taking notes in class, archive our discussions, and be useful when it comes time for your final exam.
4. You'll be posting comments and questions on the posts of others.
5. You can post other thoughts, questions, or comments about the reading, either as a post itself or as a comment to others.You can post links to other relevant articles and news (even when it's not your week).
6. I'll be using it for some administrative stuff, like announcements and links to the reading schedule.

I've added all of you as authors for the blog, so let me know if you have problems getting started. I'm looking forward to class!
