Also, I really don't think I would have been able to solidify my research question into something so "workable" without listening to our discussion and then adding your input. I can actually begin to see how this will be able to work itself into my classroom without having to revamp my entire life--which I was planning on doing.
So--THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

If feels like we talked about this, but I can't remember - what new media will be infused into the class? Being specific with that will make it more easily understood.
That's a good question, without an interesting answer. At this point I'm not sure. I think it depends on the structure of the unit that I develop. I'm thinking, though, about choosing a couple, though it may prove to be too much-- we'll see.
