Mosaic of Thought 2 Special Discussion List

Welcome to the Mosaic of Thought 2 book chat. To subscribe please scroll to the bottom of this page. Please read the following guidelines to help make this discussion a positive experience for everyone: PURPOSE/GOALS- We are coming together to read MOT2 and to share our thinking (questions, connections, new learnings, aha's, challenges, etc.) along the way. Our reading schedule is as follows: 1. June 15-21: Discussion on Forward, Acknowledgements, Chapters 1-2. 2. June 22-29: Discussion focuses on Chapters 3-4. 3. June 29-July 6: Discuss focuses on Chapter 5-6. 4. July 6-13: Discussion focuses on Chapter 7-9, Epilogue ETIQUETTE To keep our conversations reflective, jot down your thoughts and share them with us as you read through the chunks of text each week. I like to quote the excerpt from the text first and then share my thinking. Sometimes I sit at the computer and read the book and compose my email with my thinking to the group at the very same time. You might want to give that a try!!! Just like we encourage our students to do, try to piggyback on something someone posts or build on previous thinking. It's not easy to have a true "conversation" over the internet that feels alive. But you guys have shown recently that it CAN be done!! My hope is that it continues for this book talk. It will be helpful if you remember to DELETE all of the previous post OR EDIT the previous post to a bare minimum of words that relate to your reply. This works better for all of us rather than just resending the entire previous email back through the server. When you would like to contact an individual, directly please do so off list rather than onlist. Send "thank-you"s, "me too", "I agree", and personal questions/requests to the INDIVIDUAL. The individual's email information can be found in the email header. LENGTH OF CHAT The MOT2chat email group will be terminated on July 27, 2007.
