Getting Acquanited. / Hope & Anxieties

The class will be divided into two groups, each at a 'recording station'.
Group members will take turns being interviewed. Each interview should last between 10-15 minutes.

Begin with a about 3 minutes of basic acquaintance questions - ( i.e. Where are you from? How long have you lived here? Where do you work? Married? Free time activities? etc. )

Then ask the interviewee these questions. Feel free to go 'off script' if the conversation turns in a different but interesting direction.

  • How much time do you spend using computers?  What do you spend most of your computer time doing?
  • What anxieties do you have about...
       ....using computers in general?
       ... using computers in your teaching?
       ...  this course?
  • What hopes do you have for all of the above?
  • What are some positive examples of using computers for learning that you have experienced yourself or seen others doing?
  • What is the 'best case scenario' for your teaching future? What would you like to be doing, 5, 10, 20 years down the road?
