Welcome to the first full week of the course and the introductory unit. This week we will be going over getting to know the course and understanding who we all are and why we are here. As a second focus, we will look at our digital portfolios that we’ll use for the course and get those set up and ready to go as we begin unit one starting next Friday, September 13.
As with every week of the course, we will begin our content work on a Friday morning and end on the following Thursday evening. Our weekly assignments are due by the time we start conversation each Friday morning. We will have a conversation this week in the Microsoft teams site. I will post a general prompt in the introductions channel, but I encourage you to take the discussion in directions that are interesting to you. I will follow along and provide input in guidance on the conversation as needed, but I really want our class discussions to be led by you and your interests.
I have an introductory video below that I’d like you to take the time to listen to and which gives an overview of the course website and briefly of the syllabus. If you have any questions or would like to meet with me in person please contact me and we will set up a time to discuss the semester and your work. Looking forward to working with you all this semester!
