Discussion

1. Publications, I am thinking maybe through the discussion board, we may have our own publications. I set up two sections; one is lesson plan, and another one article. We can do peer review, everyone can be one of the review committees. If one article been recommended by certain number of members, it can be put in the publication section in PDF format. If you want, we can also make your published article in the publication section that people can see your work online.

A. Question 1, besides lesson plan and article, what else we can publish?

B. Question 2, how many people need to recommend one article and it can be published?

C. Question 3, do I need to apply an ISSN number for the publication?

D. Any other thought relate to it?

2. What are other possibilities that this group can be? What are more we can do? What else you want this group to do for you?

3. Meeting time for 2008. I am so sorry that I will have class on Monday night next semester. Do you think Thursday will be a good day for us to meet? Or how about in the weekend? How about every month the first Sunday night 6 PDT?
