Schedule and Structure
Our semester will follow a predictable structure. This works best for both teachers and students. We'll spend a bit of time today getting acquainted with our weekly schedule, and what kind of learning structures you can expect to engage with.
Website Scavenger HuntLast semester, almost no one used the resources on my website. That's insane. It literally gives away all the answers. Project examples? Yup. Descriptions of how to succeed? Yes. Videos of me explaining the most common student mistakes from the past? Uh huh. Literally everything you need is there. It's so easy. We'll use this scavenger hunt to make sure you know where to click to find the information you need.

Flipgrid IntroOur final opening activity involves a software called Flipgrid. You'll respond to the Flipgrid linked to the right to share a little information about who you are, and what you expect out of our course based on our opening activities. I'll respond before class next week. You'll need some familiarity with this software to complete our homework assignment this week, so make sure you engage!
