Any questions from the syllabus and Schedule? 

Selected items from the syllabus and more

• Check your SU email at least daily

• Use your computer for class tasks only.  Please leave the room if you need to use your cell phone etc

• Refer to the online versions of the syllabus and schedule as they are updated regularly

• Keep up with assignments--there are many bits and pieces to complete for this class.  Students who have not passed or done poorly in this class have fallen behind

• Set up times to meet with me if you need help

• Set up a time to meet with me if you have advanced computer skills to work out alternative assignments ASAP. 

• Read and follow assignment guidelines carefully.  I have very specific requirements (including format) so I can see how well you are using the technology

• All assignments, unless instructed otherwise, need to be in the folder (with your name and Ed Tech) I created for you.  The title should be the name of the assignment as listed in the syllabus, your name, and when completes the word "completed."   All assignments should be linked from the appropriate tracking sheet.  The assignment name and your name should also be on the assignment in addition to the title of the file.

Include a description of your comfort with common Google Drive Tools.  Make a link to it from your Google Tracking Sheet (Daily Tasks)
