Dear Eileen,

This is a fabulous example of what is possible.  Thank you for taking the time to post this message.

The discussion of group dynamics is really choice,and it depended on you having a framework within which to work with the students.

I don't know what  a person's use of computers depends on.  We started, I think, with "skills based," then David introduced projects, Nancy contributed writing email's (letters), and  your  entry runs the gamut, group dynamics being an invaluable addition.  Heide described simulations.  Clearly the computer is a tool which can be used for many legitimate classroom purposes.

Was your experience in a formal setting?  Community college?  What "level" were your students?

Thanks.

Andrea
