Is anybody able to help me understand what our task is this week? I got the email that attempts to clarify the assignment for Week 4:
 * Week 3 Assignment Question:**

With regard to the Week 4 rubric, we know it is not specific enough regarding the expectations for the number of activities, types, etc. Here are some guidelines regarding the rubric: Evidence of Understanding: -Task is highly authentic. -Task is complex. -Involves challenges adults face in the world beyond the classroom. -Students develop actual products or performances. -Appropriate and authentic audience is identified for presentation of product/performance Teaching and Learning -Students understand the unit goals. (There should be some evidence that students or teachers have “field-tested” the activities and there is an understanding of what the course unit goals in the course are all about.) (I suggest a minimum of 3 activities that are varied. Perhaps a blog, group activity, video, etc. that addresses differentiated learning, learning styles, etc. where students are asked to create products, etc.) -Activities include a powerful hook stimulated by thought provoking experiences. -Activities move beyond facts to fully exploring ideas. -Activities provide students with the opportunity to rethink ideas as further learning occurs. -Final products provide students with the opportunity to evaluate their own work and make plans for additional learning. -Activities take into account student learning styles evidenced by differentiation.

But saw nothing about this week's assignment. What does it mean by "set up course"? Does it mean to put the name/dates and that's all? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! ;) Emily W. Did you figure out week 3? I think we were just supposed to set up the course in Schoology and that's it, not turn in anything.- Emily P.

When making a "course", is it supposed to address ALL of the desired results in the one course? Or could there be multiple courses for teachers to take in order to master this particular "unit" of information? I am trying to decide what to call my course. Thanks! Emily W. Emily, I'm going to indicate that I am only planning a course for one unit of information that will address one desired result. My topic is too broad, so I'm going to break it into units. I don't know if that's the right thing to do or not, but it's my plan.-Emily P.
