3.  The Blue Thinker will appear at the bottom of pages and will accompany Thought Questions/Scenarios for you to consider and discuss. Please respond to these questions in the Module 8 - Economics of Educational Technology discussion area. 

 You will find on the Sidebar that we have a Definitions and Terminology page to help with any concepts that may be new or unique to Module 8 as well as an Additional Resources page of optional supplementary readings that our group found interesting and enhanced our understanding of the Economics of Educational Technology.

If you have any difficulty with our Wiki, or any of the links, please notify us via email and we will be happy to help.

We look forward to collaborating with you over the next week,

Cindy, Louise, Marjorie and Michael
