after deadline #1

I wish I could claim I'm done "grading" deadline #1 stuff...but I'm not. I hope to finish today...we'll see. However, I do know that although I have a gmail address for everyone (yippy...that may be a first), I definitely do not have blog URLs/web addresses for everyone. Please be sure to check the course roster (it's shared with you in Google Docs). If you don't see a blog URL listed next to your name, I don't have it! I need it to grade a lot of your work this semester.

Someone asked me a great questions about how/why I'll be using the various technologies in this class. Here is a beginning answer:

1. wiki- to share readings about teaching online that you and everyone else finds
2. blog-to share your experiences in the class, sometimes this will be writing about how your class building is going and sharing screen capture pictures that you posted in picassa (or flickr)
3. document sharing-some of your course building is document stuff (like outcomes and outlines/schedules)...so we'll share those in google docs so everyone can read and comment on them
4. picassa- you can screen capture your course as you build it. Remember, the rest of us can't get into the course your are building to see what you are doing.
