For details on what to discuss and breakout room assignments, see:

The goal of this session is for everyone to receive constructive criticism, helpful suggestions and support from your peers. You will be well on the way to completing the final assignment.

If you have selected and prepared a mindmap, use Application Sharing. Have your browser already open to the mindmap window. If not, do not worry. Just be prepared to share some key points listed in Part 2 of the final project. Each person will be allowed 15 minutes to share and discuss.

TEAM ASSIGNMENT 3 • PINTEREST Peer Review
Dal will post a link to our SM4Ed group after reviews are submitted. For reviewer assignments, see Week 13.

FINAL PROJECT, PART 1 - Comments
Comment on two of the documents posted for Part 1 of the Final Project. Spread your comments among the submittals so that everyone receives some feedback.

As previously, prepare your comments off-line then copy and paste into the reply box. Make sure that there is a BLANK LINE between paragraphs for easy reading.

Due to Thanksgiving weekend, the due date is extended for a few days.

FINAL PROJECT, PART 2 - Sharing your thoughts
Use the next two weeks to develop and finalize your project. Review instructions for Part 2 as well. Consider the comments made during the critical friends session. Extend and refine your mindmap. You will use this for your presentation during the last day of class.
