ICT4D-Online Discussion (10/5-10/19)
The discussion of the ICT4D readings will take place online here, with Shyngys and Mai leading. I figured since we have time until our next online discussion, we can spread this out a bit- here is a proposed posting schedule for discussion:
By Thursday Oct 4- Mai and Shyngys post brief summaries of the readings in the seminar discussion forum, including discussion questions or thought-starters if they have them.
By Wednesday Oct 10- First discussion round; everyone posts one response to the readings, including thoughts, comments, questions, concerns, etc.
By Wednesday Oct 17- Second discussion round; read what your colleagues have posted and post a response, additional thoughts, etc.
