Please draft a document associated with your Modest Tech Project (MTP). The document might represent a set of directions for your students, an assignment, a letter to parents, an article for your school newsletter, a mission statement--anything you like. The only stipulation is that the document represents something you need to write for your project anyway.
We will have time during our August session to gather feedback on the document, so please do not feel the need to respond to others' documents (besides, you have enough homework to do without that additional step).
Park the document wherever you want: on your blog, in GoogleDocs, on a wiki page, on a GooglePage, on an actual piece of real paper. Make the decision based on the type of assistance you want from your colleagues in August (generalized response, in-text commentary, formatting/eding suggestions, etc.).
