EED 467 First Class

Today we got to know our teacher a little better she really likes to make us laugh :)

We also discussed the article "Social Networking-Why Are We Afraid?"

We covered a PowerPoint covering what social networking is, such as, Facebook, Myspace, IM, ect... and how to use it properly and professionally because you never know what people can access.

Make sure to check Blackboard DAILY to find assignments,course outline, coffee lounge, information about naming your assignments (she has a certain way so that you won't have problems with same naming of different students). The coffee lounge will be used to post questions that you might have or questions that you think the whole class might have for the teacher to answer. This is also where she will post answers to questions that students that have had similar if not exact questions other students have had to the past.

On Blackboard there will be a post what we need to do by Sunday, such as, getting a Gmail, set up Skype, and creating a PBwiki, along with many other wonderful things. She will also post links on Blackboard that will help you set up your accounts.

Make sure before you set up your PBwiki, read about it, read the PowerPoint that she has posted on Blackboard about PBwiki. Next you will need to set up your account, and she will have guidelines that we will need to follow about what needs to be posted on your PBwiki. Once you get it together, check out the links on the page, such as, the Google Docs.

After completing assignments, you need to make sure to write how the assignments relate to the competencies.

Make sure to change Settings on your PBwiki the information about doing this will be on Blackboard.

You need to do the Contact Information Survey on Blackboard.

NEXT CLASS - If you have a laptop, bring it to class.
