Prior to our in-person meetings, we want to provide a refresher on the core ideas behind data practices, computational thinking, and self-regulated learning. To prepare, please click on the "Modules" link on the left. Then, proceed through each module sequentially. Reading through this content prior to our in-person meeting will enable us to have a richer, more fruitful discussion.

For our in-person meetings, we will use Zoom. You can access the Zoom link by clicking on "Zoom" on the left-hand side and then choosing the appropriate scheduled Zoom meeting time.

Finally, we will also have several asynchronous discussions. Click on the "Discussions" link in the sidebar to access the discussion most appropriate to your needs.

Good luck and happy reading!
