In this course participants will wonder about, discuss, define, test out, and redefine student engagement.

The teaching term "student engagement" has a wide and varied usage in education.  In this course participants will share, enlarge, adapt, and redefine their ideas about engagement through watching videos, reading articles, trying out methods in their own classrooms, and by sharing and challenging each other. Together we will share the pros/cons, challenges and ease of different engagement methods to help students learn. Our focus will be on  open dialogue about all methods and the elements and nature of engagement itself. This course begins September 26 and ends November 6.

    I lost all my notes how I have no idea.

    I need to get the password for the wiki and the wiki I'm using. 

    I will start this week and I'm re-engaging this week.  Unfortunately something came up and it diverted my attention to the course.

    thank you

    So glad to see you back with us, Mireille.  We all experience those times of diversion!  Do not feel pressure on the wiki.  I'd rather have your course participation than that you feel obligated to get all the info posted.:)
