Where next?

Tuesday is teach day. You will each come prepared to teach something to the rest of us. I encourage you to blog about it in advance.

But what about Thursday? Here is my suggestion: everyone read the first 46 pages and last two chapters of Rebooting America. After that, we'll decide whether we want to divide up the other chapters (there are approximately 50 chapters of about 5 pages each). We'll also bring in ch. 11 of Digital Media and Democracy.

Question for blogs (to be posted by next Wednesday): is optimism regarding the political potential of the internet warranted? why or why not? be specific (drawing from the contributions to Rebooting Democracy). This will be the basis of our discussion on Thursday.

There are other ways of proceeding. If you have a concrete suggestion, make it hear, or write about it on your blog. A suggestion that gets the support of half the class will determine what we do.
