courses | Yes - I've tried doing the "good ones" many times, but I think it can really seem like a lot to live up to! With the bad ones, there is nowhere to go but up! | 2019-02-24 20:53 | Colleen Grandy ◀ | ||

micro-FLO | Really good idea! | 2019-02-24 3:18 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||

I plan to use this discussion prompt with my Fundamental English 063 students for the next set of classes starting in March | Good luck Leonne! | 2019-02-24 3:17 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||

seed being planted for a micro-FLO on metacognition and course design | Good one! Noted! | 2019-02-22 15:48 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | ||

beginning of the term | This is a good reminder that where the discussion falls in the course makes a big difference! | 2019-02-22 13:44 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | ||

you've done a great job with this | It's one of those nothing more to add situations! | 2019-02-22 13:40 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | ||
| Re: What does support look like? by ◀ |
I'm new at teaching online and I'm feeling thankful for this opportunity to put stuff out there to hear from others! | Nice statement about value | 2019-02-22 13:39 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | ||

delicious | Jeff you work in a great subject area to make a "delicious" prompt - nice pun! | 2019-02-22 10:59 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Job hunting ain't easy by ◀ |
If there is not even a smidgen of fear within you right now, what would you do in your internship job-hunt, and what position would you like to land that is within your reach and can provide you with meaningful work experience and skills? Describe what skills/experience you will gain from this. What particular fear/circumstances (or any other obstacles) are stopping you from doing what you described in #1? Comment on someone else’s post by providing pointers: what resources, support, learning or experience would they benefit from in achieving his/her goal? How could you contribute to supporting him/her? | 2019-02-22 7:40 | Jeff Brandt ◀ | |||

bad ones | My first experience with this approach was in the 90s using a website called Web Pages That Suck. It was a hoot! | 2019-02-22 6:12 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | ||

remove our friend, the jumbo emoticon | haha! | 2019-02-22 6:07 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | ||
| Re: Are you for this or that? by ◀ |
Maybe a chef & sous-chef each defending their choice of dessert for a really important dinner? | I used to watch Iron Chef years ago. Is it still on? I wonder if, Jeff, you could riff your discussion prompt off of current food/chef-related TV shows for a bit of a challenge... | 2019-02-22 4:22 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Re: Oral presentation style: Who inspires you? by ◀ |
someone who they have enjoyed listening to/watching present | You could also approach it from the other direction, "Give an example of a time when you've seen an absolutely awkward presentation. What did it look like?" (No need to name names!) | 2019-02-22 4:14 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||

smidgen of fear | Great phrase to perk people up! Like it. | 2019-02-22 4:07 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Re: Here's a question to get your creative juices flowing... by ◀ |
Be boring! Be verbose! | Beth: Good one Gina, I can see how our invitation to you to be creative sort of goes against the content of what we were asking you to come up with! What a mindbender! | 2019-02-21 7:53 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Be boring! Be verbose! | Oh gosh, yes! Thank you! | 2019-02-20 20:19 | Sylvia Currie ◀ | |||
| Think about presentations you’ve seen… by ◀ |
then it just sat there | Possibly asking them to name one thing they liked about the presentation that they posted? This could be the start of a group list of useful elements to consider for their own presentations. - AliceMac | 2019-02-20 17:31 | Alice Macpherson ◀ | ||

Confused? Be sure to ask for help. | I like this! Will you supply info on who/where to ask? - AliceMac | 2019-02-20 17:22 | Alice Macpherson ◀ | ||
| What does support look like? by ◀ |
some of the few key ways | perhaps, "some key ways" or "a few key ways" - AliceMac (also my first annotation) | 2019-02-20 17:16 | Alice Macpherson ◀ | ||
| Re: How Do You Learn Best? by ◀ |
Great idea for another prompt on narrowing lists | Beth: You could look up Min Specs from Liberating Structures which is all about narrowing an initial list. | 2019-02-20 16:15 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| How Do You Learn Best? by ◀ |
thumbnail | Beth: "Thumbnail" makes me think first off about "a thumbnail photo". You might want to say "thumbnail sketch" to be more clear it's in words? It might be just me that had that initial difficulty... | 2019-02-20 16:14 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Find Your Inner Project Manager by ◀ |
planning a birthday party or family supper | Beth: Yes! I can't help but suggest a course resource for you called The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. | 2019-02-20 16:09 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Think about presentations you’ve seen… by ◀ |
generated list and have (maybe another?) discussion about strategies | Beth: Yes! Look at the three parts to TRIZ, it should help you go exactly in that direction. | 2019-02-20 16:06 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | ||
| Find Your Inner Project Manager by ◀ |
Write a post briefly describing your project | I feel like posting a photo of the event could also be an option here. Perhaps an engaging way to initiate the discussion. | 2019-02-20 14:56 | Hillarie Zimmermann ◀ | ||

| Day 2: The creation phase begins... by ◀ |
additional questions in and around the making of discussion prompts | Beth: Such as, why do some instructors ask us to discuss things as participants and then give us no evidence that they are reading our posts? Hmm... | 2019-02-19 7:33 | Beth Cougler Blom ◀ | Source | Highlighted Text | Margin Note | Modified | User |
