FAQ Discussion Forum

For GSwE2009, the FAQs have been developed in a discussion forum format. There are multiple fora, each with a different focus area. FAQ topics are included in each forum. By registering with the GSwE2009 website, you may post your comments and additional questions for the FAQ.

For each FAQ, the Curriculum Author Team (CAT) has developed an answer based on their experience developing the curriculum and on some early implementation efforts. The CAT's answer will appear at the top of the topic discussion in bold, and will have "ANSWER" at the beginning of the response.

It is the hope of the CAT that by providing a mechanism for discussion, the FAQs can be used to help address issues or concerns, or share success stories, as they arise. If you have any questions on using the discussion forum, please email Nicole Hutchison.
