As I promised to the class, I would post several non-KEY discussion questions in Lesson 8. These are my reflections on ETC655 teaching, designing, and experiences etc. You are NOT required to respond to these non-KEY questions. Be sure to respond to our KEY questions. Why am I doing this? With digital technology's rapid change, we speed up our learning. In addition, ETC courses are offered in "accelerated" 8-week format. We seem to catch up our digital learning constantly. Thomas Friedman said: "…the ancients believed that there was wisdom in patience and that wisdom comes from patience … Patience wasn't just the absence of speed. It was space for reflection and thought." I hope you will join me in these non-KEY questions.
