There are four videos that are embedded in the course that define “battles” in education thought, philosophy, theory, ideology, and structure. After watching each video, and reading any text/PDFs/links associated with the video’s content, you are to pick a winner. And it can’t be “BOTH”. You must pick a side and defend your choice. You need to clearly identify:

• Which side you choose
• Why you pick it as the winner
• What your evidence is for your choice (your choice should be based upon what you’ve read and learned, not just what you think)
• Your response should be between 300-400 words
