Welcome to the "Articles and More" page.  Throughout the course, your instructor will post important technology-related articles, readings and web-page links for you to read and review.  You will receive specific instructions for assigned reading (questions, activities, etc.) that must be completed by the posted deadline.  In most cases, you will post your responses to the readings here on the wiki page in the form of a comment.  You may also be asked to revisit the comments to follow developing threads and respond to classmates' comments.  This creates an online "discussion" regarding significant tech-related subjects (careers, use of technology, technological advancements, etc.).

Check out the links below to view selected files and articles as assigned by your instructor.  You will complete responses and/or activities based on these readings.  Make sure all work is completed by the assigned deadline to avoid late marks!
