This technology will allow associate degree and kindergarten endorsement students from many campuses to share common experiences and become a part of the new type of classroom. In order that we can become better acquainted as a group, each class session will begin with a sharing time. Students may share hopes, desires, thoughts, ambitions, concerns, and anxieties during this time. The professor, also, will participate in this segment of the class. Electronic journal writing reduces the amount of paper and provides opportunities for students to share privately and freely their inner thoughts, concerns, joys, and anxieties with the instructor.
Confidentiality is the motto.
The diskettes will be collected at midterm exam, after the field experience, and at the final class meeting for review. You must use at least Word 97. Starting today and continuing each week until the last week of this class, collect and read newspaper articles in paper or electronic format that address issues pertaining to political arena, children, families, education, or health. Orally report your reactions as a part of the class sharing time. Sign up for one reporting time during this semester.
