(You will have to scroll to get to them all.) At the end of that response, skip a line and then ask an open question of your own. After posting, please then edit to choose a color and keep the same color for each of your initial column responses. Please like the posts of classmates based on their attention to the task at hand and how well they moved the discussion forward. The takeaway column does not need questions posed for the next classmate. Write a thorough takeaway that includes specifics. If you choose to do the optional columns, (engaged students usually do), please be thorough in what you contribute and why. After you have added your answer and posted your question on the color of your choice, wait a day (if necessary) and please go farther up in each column and below the rating, please add comments to the posts of other classmates, not just the ones directly above where you started. Include details in your comments, not empty platitudes. *Avoid using the color of the poster above you. There will be repeated colors. **There will be no anonymous posting. en-us 2022-10-26 19:02:07 UTC 2024-05-17 23:55:38 UTC hello@padlet.com This column will address: lirogers2 https://padlet.com/lirogers2/l6c1c47aumm8vnwn/wish/2357856848 helping people/the planet now (neartermism) v. in the future (longtermism). What is effective altruism?
