In this post you will interpret the results of your poll.
I want you to connect the results of the poll to what you learn through your research and then evaluate the connection. Do the class results mirror what you are finding in other areas of your research? Are the class results significantly different? If so, why do you think that is.
At this point in the semester you should be getting deeper into your research and learning more about your topic. To help with that endeavor, I want you to incorporate at least two reputable sources (no Wikis this week). For a 4 on the sources standard you will need to complete an annotated bibliography (located at the bottom of your post) explaining why your sources are reputable.

Post a Poll - Due October 22
21st Century Learning Poll
1) Add a poll to your blog. First go to Design and then Gadget. Scroll down until you see a link for "Create a Poll."
2) Respond to this posting (comment) with at least two things you have learned about your topic that you didn't know before. If you have trouble then you are not digging deep enough in your research.
