Thanks Hemingway and Donne.
The Capstone project as I understand it, is about making our research and ideas public so that we may impact others beyond our students, classroom, school, and even district. Who is my audience? First and foremost, my audience is my students as the ones who are affected directly by the project. Beyond that, my closest colleagues are influenced by what I am doing, ask how its going, and are intrigued by the possibilities. In my ideal world, I may be able to inspire a school wide focus on developing quality questioning strategies in our students grade 6-8. As part of this project we are to create an online presence to share even further. What might that look like? Look like is the key. My reading of Baggio and recent positive experience with helping students create Powtoons, reminds me of the power of images. Visuals are the entry point for most humans. As I design what will most likely be a website, I need to best rely on images rather than on words (quite opposite of what I am doing here). I look forward to continued research, starting some interviews with reluctant questioners using Dervin's timeline question techniques, and using what I learn to further develop the ideas of a Quality Question Club by following the instructional system design presented by Clark.

I also chuckled at the irony of reading about the power of images- and particularly seeing the memo example in Clark's second chapter- and following it up with a wordy little blog. To that end, I blogged traditionally but couldn't help but play with the layout a little when I did my Session 3 page. I tried to find a weebly layout that mimicked the Structured Writing Method... it was not quite as concise as what Ms. Clark would intend.
