It was enjoyable to talk among group members (Catherine, Iris, Jun, Lucia and Nicol). The topics are briefly presented below,
1. Tibet issue and racism in the world. (It seems this topic is totally unrelated to our group purpose, but it is a nice 'starter' for thinking the society (including our small educational society) deeply and critically.
2. 'Main course' is certainly individual writing progress and goal.
3. 'Dessert' is very tasty.
a. BBC Program 'climate change' is suggested by Nicol. We propose to watch this program the week after next and discuss later on.
b. Discussion about individual research each week. It seems every group member has struggled during process of research, so we propose to discuss one research topic (around 30 minutes) every session, and group members can share our opinions or give some suggestions at that moment.
c. Professor Thérèse Laferrière will join us next Tuesday, and we can be free to ask any question about writing or research.
Prof Laferrière is full professor of Pedagogy, Department of Studies in Teaching and Learning, Laval University. Her research activities focus on networked learning environments and especially participants.
