ATTENDANCE

Today: Please correct me if I butcher your name; also tell me if there’s a name you’d rather be called.

The Attendance Sheet:

• will go around every F2F class day

• is your responsibility to sign

• is primary evidence of your presence in class!

CLASSMATE INTERVIEWS

Partner up with the nearest person to you, or get in a group of three and distribute yourselves…

Interview each other and find out the following information:

• What is your classmate’s name, major, hometown?

• What does he/she think about writing in general?

• What is his/her favorite thing about technology and/or science?

• What does he/she hope to get out of this class?

• If he/she could switch places with someone for one day, who would it be and why?

When your interview is done, log into YOUR blog, turn the interview information into a paragraph, and post it. You have 25 minutes.

I MAKE STUFF FOR YOU

I will put content on our website (and in other places) for you to consume, remix, etc.

I’ll post stuff on the home page of our website several times a week. You are required to read/listen to/view this content as it is relevant to class (even though it will possibly be silly and fun too).

THIS MEANS: Check the course website frequently. Check your email daily. Be a good virtual citizen.
