If you are more comfortable reading hard copy, you can print the articles and read them off-line.

When you finish reading and contemplating the role of the web in education, share your reflections on the Role of the Web in Education using the TEC 908 Web Discussion Board.

Navigate to the Activity 12: Role of the Web in Education section on the web board and scroll down to Add a New Message. You will also want to read several of the comments and reflections that have been shared by other course participants over the past several months/years.
