Week One: Introductions

For this week we’re just doing introductions. Instead of doing the same old boring introductions Rachael and I thought we could find a more fun way to do it! Use paint (for PC) or paintbrush (for Mac), and draw a simple picture that introduces yourself. Some ideas are incorporating where you’re from, your major, or a hobby. Just paint a picture that can show us who you are!
EDIT: If anyone needs helps with paint, paintbrush, or anything else feel free to email me or Rachael Nelson.

Student Blog Leads - Week 1

Thanks to Rachel & Natasha for helping us get to know each other this week.  Look for their post here on the side for the fun way we'll get started blogging!

WELCOME!

Welcome to the CLASS BLOG!  This blog is intended to be a place where students can share questions & information to extend what happens in the classroom.  An aspect of of feedback from students that is most frequently shared is regarding the ONCE A WEEK aspect of this course and that it is a NIGHT CLASS.  

The blog this semester is designed for STUDENTS to actively engage one another between classes each week.  There will be a schedule created at the beginning of the semester to identify who will be the 2 students each week that will lead/facilitate/stir up the discussion each week.  The goal is to determine what material may still not be clear.  What additional information might students have on the topic?  What ideas might students have about the upcoming week.  The blog is to be used to give students voice in leading, shaping and reshaping the instruction, learning activities, what and how students are learning.

I'm confident you are up for this exciting part of the course!  So, who would like to be FIRST and take week one and will help us use the blog to get to know one another in a creative way?  First two to respond will have the opportunity to lead us this week - and have it out of the way!!  Yes, points are are given for this and it goes in the grade book!
