Class Discussion Prep	Which Applications Are Important to You? Develop a list of 3 (or more) applications that interest you and are likely to be part of your professional practice after graduation. Also, create a list of 3 (or more) resources that practitioners can use to discover and keep abreast of applications like these. We will use your lists to drive our discussion of application systems in class. There is no need to post your list items to D2L, just bring them to class. My plan is to use groups in the class to work during a breakout session to consolidate their lists and other ideas. Then, we will debrief this exercise with an appointed member of each group reporting back on the findings of the group.
