Written by Greetings all and welcome to the week where the tables turn! We devote an entire week to your own creative curiosity and your Symposium entries. The module is here. Please take a look and read the resources that strike you or save them for the future. Also use your time this week to work on your Symposium entry and publish it to your blog.
Action Items:
- ➡️➡️➡️ FLUID DUE DATES are in effect. BUT EVERYTHING MUST BE IN BY LAST DAY OF CLASS. Use the original due dates as a guideline, but take the time you need to create meaningful and enjoyable work. Everything just needs to be completed by the last day of class. Please stay close to the reflection blogging dates, as this allows your classmates to read and respond to your work in a timely manner, fostering a richer discussion. Keeping up with those will help create a better exchange of ideas. Be sure to explore each assignment page and let me know if you have questions.
Occasionally throughout the semester, Michael will host a social hour for the class in the Hyperlinked Library Commons on Zoom.
- These are optional “drop in” sessions for students to ask questions, share or just chat. We might also have a guest speaker or conversation with a practitioner. There are no mandatory sessions but students are encouraged to attend if schedules allow. It will be a way for us to check in and keep in touch. Sessions will be recorded.
For security purposes our recurring Zoom Meeting info is shared on the front page of our Canvas site for this class.
Class Chats Schedule:
- June 7th at 1pm PT / 4pm ET – Class Social Chat and Q & A
