1. John Dewey's Democracy and Education Chapter 1 (ONLY)
Democracy and Education: Chapter 1toc

or @http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/d Extension: John Dewey is often referred to as the father of modern experiential education. Here find a short History of Dewey - @http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAdewey.htm

Include your questions and thoughts. When you make your concept map of chapter 1, you may do it with pencil/paper, Inspiration, or use a tool we haven't used yet: Webspiration

**3. Create ONE Cartoon with multiple panels **
You need to create a cartoon and try to integrate a "Dewey Thought" and "Technology Integration Thought" using Bitstrips. You may ask, "How do I start?!?" First, I would //NOT// start with the cartoon. Here are some ideas:
 * Monologue: Pick one idea from Dewey. Write it in your own words. Think about what it means to school and technology. Write that in your own words. Create a cartoon of a monologue: A person telling about those two ideas.
 * Integrate ideas with two people: List or underline 2 ideas that you found interesting that Dewey noted. Write 2 things you believe about Tech Integration. See if you can blend the two in a conversation between two people.
 * Scenario: Create a scenario that demonstrates the concept of technology integration and Dewey.
 * Vocabulary Based: Use one of the vocabulary words from Dewey.

Underneath the Comic: Explain what it means. Then, explain what it would mean in the context for learning/teaching with this generation. media type="custom" key="4333957" Process for Cartoon Creation
