Online Meetings

Meeting time TBA

After the kickoff meeting at the start of February, we will meet for one hour each week for the next few weeks of this FMN, followed by every other week for the final three meetings. Our final meeting is a show-and-tell at the beginning of May to wrap up the FMN. We will meet via Zoom video conference; details on our Quick Links page (viewable for members only).

Homework

All homework assignments are to be completed by the Monday prior to the meeting listed, 5 pm for your time zone. Additional information will be provided in the online meetings and announcements.

Participant Facilitator/Notetaker Roles and Responsibilities

Each participant participating in this FMN will choose a week to be a “participant facilitator” and/or a "participant note taker."

Participant facilitators are responsible for reading any forum posts associated with the meeting topic prior to the meeting and collecting questions and responses, for preparing thoughts and comments related to the reading and forum posts for the week’s meeting, and for helping the FMN leader facilitate the weekly topic by prompting discussion.

Participant note takers are responsible for keeping a record of the meeting's discussion, and summarizing and synthesizing the key ideas or themes that are brought up. Either while taking notes or after the discussion, this person will also put helpful links into the notes document of any resources that were discussed. These notes will be indispensable to all the participants as a running record throughout the FMN.
