narrowing your topic

I am behind in my practicum work, so though we haven’t gotten together to talk details about the “narrowing your topic” game, I wanted to put together an outline. So, today I spent about three hours working in Captivate, learning how to ask interactive questions, and applying what I learned to the “narrowing your topic” game. Tonight I plan to smooth it out a little bit. It’d be nice to have a rough draft ready for my meeting with Susan and Kevin tomorrow.

It was good for me to do a little undirected work.  Without the pre-planning, it feels more like playing, and surprisingly, I got a lot more accomplished than I typically do in 3 hour bursts.  Perhaps it’s because I don’t feel like I’m wasting time since the plans are so open-ended at this point.
