Assignment 5


Part 1: Login to LitMUSE. Go west from the Entrance Hall and then North into the Main Conference Room. Type exam TV to see how to use the television. Watch program one, take notes, and write a summary of what you learn. Talk, too, about this experience. (It might be beneficial to go with your group.)

Part 2: Prepare a prospectus that explains the focus of your group’s project, and email it to me. (This prospectus should be written as a group.)

Part 3: Use LitMUSE for at least one of your group’s meetings. After the meeting, each group member should write a page evaluation of the experience, concentrating on the following issues:

  1. What are the benefits of an on-line meeting.
  2. What are the potential benefits?
  3. What are the cons?
  4. How difficult was this assignment for you specifically?

In your journal for one day this week, talk about the influence of technology on your education specifically, and the direction of education in general. Why would Bill Clinton want a computer in every classroom? Is this something beneficial?
