Feb 7- today are precinct caucuses and classes are canceled after 6PM.

We can only meet for one hour again today. But much of our work can be done on-line.
All of you will have posted twelve questions by the time we will be meeting. Which strategies can you think of to (1) review them all and to (2) prioritize them? I want the existing groups to meet briefly and to come up with a solution. We will then listen to all groups and devise our strategy. Think in terms of categories... breaking down the task into manageable elements: (for example) creating a shared document that group members can write into, dividing up the 26 class members among four group members, searching only for categories that your group finds important, etc.

You have perused the LEO site and picked a topic that interests you. We will start to listen to each student's presentation next week. Use your blog post to guide us through your topic. Let us know, why it was of interest for you. Today in class, enter your topic and the link to your blog post in my list below.

In reviewing today's assignments, I find that several students did not read and evaluate all stories-in-a-box, or have other elements missing. This class puts a great emphasis on complete blogs. Be sure to have your up-to-date, please.
Homework: Each group needs to present their final list of twelve questions distilled from all class input on each member's blog. I would like to finalize the core questions next week. Then I want you to go back to the Hacker site and work through the topic that closely relates to you LEO topic. Be prepared next week to present your topic.
