Getting organized
Some house keeping
Corrections on the grading policy: Please check coursewebsite for new grading policy.
What questions do you have about the syllabus? Attendance policy? Grading policy? Late passes? Course schedule? Accessing course materials? Course projects? Last Thursday, I began talking briefly about our course and how it is not just a class on learning how to use PowerPoint. So, if that is what it is not -- what is it? Let's take a few minutes to explore some work of previous EDIT 2000 students to get a better understanding of what we'll be doing this semester.
Today we will also explore a possible emergency back-up option, Gmail, that you can use to save your work throughout the term. We will also set up our key drives.
Also, we will be setting up your keydrive. You will need one “EDIT2000 assignment“ folder in your keydrive. Whenever you finish your workduring the classes, please save the file in that folder.
What does technology integration look like?
What are your experiences with technology in the K-12 classrooms?
Harrison County High School in Gulfport, Mississippi is a wonderful example of students and teachers using technology tools for learning. If that's not enough, see how Mary Scroggs Elementary School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina integrates technology to help younger children learn.
