EDU 221 Assignments
These were the assignments during the 2 week orientation period (Sept. 5 - Sept. 14) for both Block 1 and Block 2

Block 1--while you're in the schools, Finish Fires in the Bathroom and write a QR for each chapter. Email me when you're done. Have it done before 11:59pm on Sunday October 7. Block 2--read the handout that you received about Type I and Type II technologies. Create a blog entry where you define the difference between Type I and Type Usage of Technology in your own words and then give 3 examples of each. They can be examples from your own student experience, examples you've observed or heard about, or examples you just made up yourself. Have this done before noon on Monday September 17.
