The rules in general
The idea is to generate interesting conversation through an online discussion forum. Sometimes this includes heated debate. As long as we focus on the ideas without getting personal, then everything is good. So agree or disagree, as long as it's with respect.
Mr. Waldeck at Forest Heights Collegiate Institute has an excellent guide on posting comments effectively. See it here.

How to use the site
Here's how I see things playing out:
WEEK 1
WEEK 1
- Join the Forum. For a handle, use your first name followed by your school initials (eg MikeWODSS).
- Introduce yourself in the "Hello My Name Is" thread of the forum.
- Go to the Pre-Reading page and watch the videos.
- Go back to the forum and post your thoughts on the videos.
- I'll let the conversation roll for a few days and we'll take it from there.
