Assignment #1 - Learning Theories Assignments - (50 marks) Assigned: September 24 Due: Varies as per schedule

Each person in the group searches for a resource that will be provided to the class to prepare for the discussion. Choose the best resource to share with the class. Copy and Paste the web address for the resource that you wish to submit by the posted date, in TodaysMeet.com/RRC2092. All students in the class are assigned the resource to view to be prepared to participate in the discussion that each group will lead. Group preparation for the discussion - as a group, create a Google Presentation to use as a guide during the discussion; develop five questions that will be asked and discussed, summarize the topic after the discussion in a Google Doc, shared with me in your folder--ten points to summarize the discussion. DO NOT teach the topic during the discussion--this is a discussion, not a lecture!! You should expect that all students have reviewed your resource prior to class (flipped the classroom). You may have the class do an activity, etc. to learn about this learning theory. Be sure to interact in the back channel during the discussion. Group leaders will work the posted questions into your discussion.
