Lets do a little experiment.

Searching the internet can seem like a really great strategy, but it can slow things down if you don't have good information literacy skills, and if you're not familiar with the ins and outs of actually conducting research.

Lets test this theory out. 

Your first assignment this week involves conducting research on a topic, and I want you to conduct research like you "normally" do. You may already be great at it, or you may have some great aspects to what you do, and some not-so-great aspects to what you do. That's what we need to figure out.

First, head over to your NEW group cohort for Research and meet some new people, and then get started on the 2 discussion board assignments there.
