Communicate 4.2.3 Discussions Quest

Discussions can be a use and informative way to get to know the kids and have the kids get to know each other. I have a discussion group in my class each week. It is on emerging technology. This is how it works:

One student is in charge each week. All students will have a chance to be in charge. This students make the initial post about an emerging technology. All other students have to post back twice, once to the original post and a comment about another persons posts. I have a work limit and ask that they be professional about their posts. At the end of the week the student in charge 'grades the post'

It is a small grade bot they students seem to really enjoy it and are sad when it ends. here is an example of what it looks like.
(Period 6)

You need to give two posts.

• Reply to the #### Stuart's initial post
• Reply to another students post
• 25 words or more
• Keep it professional
• Spelling and grammar count!
