Welcome to the Journey.
Make a note
Some important things to keep in mind about the class:
|
Email is essential.
You'll use a gmail identity to log in to several of our class resources, share files and communicate with Ms. Thomas. If you don't already have a gmail acccount, set one up here.
If you have an Android phone, your own YouTube channel (wow, impressive!!) or blog/website (extremely impressive!!!), you already have a Google account. Check with me regarding the email associated with that account. |
Class Resources
We will regularly use the following Web 2.0 tools and sites. I encourage you to bookmark them (Command+D on your keyboard) for easy access:
This is a "blended" learning class, which means that we use a lot of non-traditional learning methods and tools to accomplish our goals. You'll be expected to accomplish some tasks independently, some in a group, others by hands-on activities. ALL of these require your full engagement. |
The Daily
What are we up to today? This week? This semester? Did you miss a day? No worries...all of life's questions are answered by visiting THE BLOG! (Okay, maybe not all questions, like "What's for lunch?" or "Are we alone in the universe?" I got nothin' for that one.) Click on over to see what we're doing in class!
P.S.: Have you figured out that everything on this site in green is a hyperlink that sends you somewhere else? |
