Now, send me an electronic copy of your Learning Contract, in MS Word compatible form, please. Next week, Oct 24, any or all are invited to join the Glad Grad students while we glean insights through reviewing all the Learning Contracts, looking for themes, modalities, common ideas, etc. I am on campus and available for consultation on Wed, 10/31. I am off campus on 10/7. No regular class meeting until Wed, 10/14. Use this time well - be wise. Go into the field and accomplish the task(s) you have set your hand to. Do good work, write home often. |

Thompson (2004) Hundred Language Zoo.doc Malaguzzi (1990) No Way. The Hundred is There .ppt Hi, all, It's 10:20 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept 5, a wet and slippery day. Our class meets at 4:30 p.m. - hope you can make it - but I want you to individually discern and decide if you can make it safely. So be at peace - no penalty if you don't make it to my class (you have to take it up with other profs if you miss their classes);>} Just let me know - do keep in touch. What are you excited about? What do you need more info about? What is not cool? Here are the notes posted in class on 9/5:
