Week 7 continue to work on your second assignment: identifying materials, reading, thinking about and writing your essay plan. Share any other reading you find with others through the discussion boards. These four themes are an important part of your final essay, so you want to use the time to understanding how these link back to the topics in Module 1.

This reflection module gives us a chance to look back and draw links between these topics. This is also the time to put the final touches on your final essay. The final week looks back at the unit as a whole and offers a chance to speculate about the future of the Internet and everyday life.
