As usual, we will use the diagrams as fodder for our class conferences this week and seeing each other’s work will help generate deeper discussion. (Note, you may also use this discussion forum to post your reflection on this week’s live conference recordings if you cannot attend this week’s conferences and wish to receive participation credit.)
Discussion Forum Prompt:
1. How do Innis’ conceptions and ideas pertain to your theory?
Please include your diagram as an attachment in your discussion post for this week. If you are using a diagramming tool like Scapple, make sure to attach a jpeg/png/jpg file or a screenshot of it, so that your classmates can see it even if they do not use that software. See the diagram instructions here: https://tc.instructure.com/courses/2634/assignments/18978?module_item_id=81258.
