Friday:

Final presentations on the work you've done this week:

1.To the class: Tell the class about what you've explored, what you've done, what you learned, and show them an example (or more).
Explain the difficulties you may have had and how you worked to overcome them: collaboration, asking questions, exploring.
Discuss what it was like to pursue your interests in class.
Share other thoughts on the class as you see fit.

2. Write an original blog post of your own on the class blog. Do a piece of reflective writing on the information above from your 'To the class' talk. Add any other information you want to share. Thoughts on resources we've shared, stories, videos, discussions, the week, the snacks, whatever you'd like. This blog post should be completed by August 9 (Tuesday) at 11am.

3. Comment on the work of others, on their blog posts. I'd encourage you, thought it's not required, to read the reflective blog posts of your peers and offer them feedback. You've traveled a long way together. Everyone has different skill sets, different opinions. It's important to hear other opinions, especially those of classmates and ultimately the students you work with. Hearing all different perspectives on how people learn can be of great value to you... it helps you consider more opinions.You decide; Celebrate, ask questions, share ideas and thoughts... all of the above, or something else!

4. Closing thoughts for the week.

5. Celebrate! After Friday you will have completed all your courses, a long journey in this Masters program. I can't make this mandatory... but, come on... it's MEXICO!

Here's the recap from day five:
