Introduction - getting to know each other and building community
Workshop Objectives
Estimated time to complete: 20 minutes
We will ease into this workshop series by sharing a little about ourselves and learning about the other participants.
This workshop series is designed so you can do some of the work at home in preparation for the in-class workshop session. That way, we can make the most of the time we have together doing hands-on activities, participating in discussions, and actively working toward finding, evaluating, and incorporating no-cost, low-cost, and creative commons resources as replacements to traditional textbooks
During this first week, we will get to know each other and become familiar with the tools we will be using during the workshop.
For all in-class sessions, please bring your laptop. If you do not have a laptop, please let us know and we can provide a chromebook for your use.
This workshop starts with an ice-breaker in Slack (a workplace messaging app). The intention of the ice-breaker is to foster sharing and openness with the hope that this will lead to interacting and bonding with your fellow participants. This is an important part of the overall workshop experience because we will be learning with and from each other.
