//Please be sure to type your notes in word, then copy & paste into the table above//


 * Activity**:

First...
 * 1) As a whole group, work through question in first column: //What sub-categories of Global Communication need to be identified?//
 * 2) Are there questions our group needs to consider in addition to those listed in the remaining columns above? If so, please add them.
 * 3) For each sub-category, complete the process of Rounds (see below) //*Rounds can be done individually, in pairs or in small groups//

Round 1:
 * 1) Select one sub-category from above to address
 * 2) Divide the remaining columns among the individuals, pairs or small groups, each taking a question(s) to address as it relates to the sub-category selected.
 * 3) Individually, in pairs or in small groups, post a response to the question under your column in "Round 1".

Rounds 2, 3 & 4:
 * 1) Each individual, pair or small group moves to the next column and considers what was posted in the previous round
 * 2) Add responses in box for appropriate column & round
 * 3) "rinse & repeat" until all questions have been addressed for each sub-category.

Finally...
 * 1) Consider the most critical elements of each response to your rounds.
 * 2) How can they be combined to draft a Media & Information Literacy goal(s) for your group?
 * 3) Given the details in the responses to each question, what specific steps need to be taken to move your group toward your goal(s)?

 * * **//proceed slowly to avoid check list approach --// ticking boxes v. truly unwrapping, experimenting, grappling, discovering, realizing & embedding possibilities & potential of tools, skills and applications (see http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2010/02/just-tell-me-what-to-do.html)
