The

"Yeah...but..."

Protocol

 This page was designed by Gary L. Ackerman for use by students in his graduate courses and teacher workshops focusing on educational technology.  Others are welcome to use the pages, but please drop Gary an email to describe who you are and how you are using the page.

One of a modest collection of protocols to facilitate discussion board interactions.
 

  • This protocol begins with a participant posting a message which contains a proposal or an idea.

  • The initial proposal is followed by others posting comments that identify potential criticisms or impediments.

This protocol is designed to:

  • Prepare a poster for "public" presentation

  • Identify all potential perspectives on an idea.

This protocol works best when:

  • The original participant understands the goal of the protocol.

  • Evaluators use a "fine-toothed comb."
